THE SIXTH GRADE
The Sixth Grade was glad to have a
visitor Monday. Freda Mincoy, who was a
pupil in our grade until she moved away
last fall.
Monday morning wo went on our Easter
egg hunt. We carried with us our lunch,
which vre ate while two girls hid our eggs.
The girl and boy who found the most re
ceived prizes,
R. L. Reese has been out of school
several days with the measles,
Jessie Vinson has missed several days
of school because of a sprained wrist.
THE HIGHLANDS SCHOOL
We should all be interested in school,
especially the Highlands School’ because
it helps the children and builds up the
community.
The Highlands boys and girls’ have
basketball teams. Our teams could real
ly play better if they had a gymnasium
so they could get more practice.
We have programs in the theatre
where each grade take turns in giving a
program.
The movies that are shown to us free
are very helpful. They teach us many
things about other countries. This
helps very much in geography and histo
ry.
The limch room is very helpful bet*
cause the children can get a hot lunchi
instead of bringing a cold lunch. The
food is well prepared and is very nour
ishing.
We get the radio every Friday. In
music appreciation we study the string,
wood vfind, brass and percussion instru
ments, V/e hear some of these each Fri
day.
We should all respect our principal
and teachers. We are inclined to think
sometimes that the punishment xro get is
because the teacher does not like us,
but this is not true. It is for our own
good.
IVe should all try to help build up
our school because of the many things
we have to be proud of.
