Our class voted to decorate the building rather than enter a float H| the parade. Many sketches were made. We decided on a “Roast Hawk” theme. Materials w e r e collected and everyone worked to complete the project. Gunny sacks were cut-in a man’s shape and fastened with paper clips. These were stuffed with newspapers. Then we made a big paper hawk. We had trouble getting the wings on. On the porch of building No. 4 we had a group of men sitting around a campfire while a hawk was roasting over the fire. Friday was an exciting day for us when we were told we had won the “Annual Traveling Trophy” for the best building decoration.
