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.
