Gresham Grade Schools U tilize Local Residents As Resources Sharing her interest in the importance and beauty of well- formed handwriting was the purpose of Mrs. Iola Fresh water’s visit to one of Gresham Grade’s classrooms. Third grad«* pupils in Mrs. Ruth Ayer's room. West Gresham, were recently ex posed to an anim ated demonstration showing various written forms. By means of easel and Japanese brush. Mrs. Freshwater exhibited the fluid rhythm of legible writing and amazed the boys and girls with her control in forming letters. The guest also included a brief account on the early history of handwriting by sketching examples of Egyptian picture-writing. She referred to these as charades. Each student was presented with a nameplate, hand-written by the speaker. Books on the subject of penmanship and calligraphy, along with the best-recognized examples, were left for one week for the students to view. Mrs. Freshwater recalls that her fascination with pen manship occurred when she herself was a third grader. This interest manifested itself with her winning first place in penmanship for the entire state of Ohio two consecutive years while a junior high student. Recently, she reinforced her interest by taking calligraphy classes at Mt. Hood Community College under the instruction of Mrs. Dana. The guest stated that she now does all her correspondence in a rapid legible calligraphy, designs and writes all her own Christmas cards, and inscribes certificates and awards for business firm s. Her prim e ambition is to reproduce some of Walt Whitman’s poems in book form, but soley for her own satisfaction. The Freshwater family has resided in Gresham for several years They have three daughters, two attending Gresham High and Susie, a third grader at West Gresham.
