Wolf Creek A Students Enjoy
Thanksgiving Dinner At School
Wolf Creek A School students
had a unique celebration of
Thanksgiving, for instead of en
joying the holiday in their homes,
they a LI brought edibles from
home and cooked Thanksgiving
dinner at the school on the heater.
Eighth grader, Stella V Harris,
recounts, in the story below, the
activities of the day at Wolf Creek
A:
THANKSGIVING DAY AT
WOLF CREEK A
BY STELLA V. HARRIS
Cooperation seemed to be the
key note in describing our Thanks
giving At least one would have
thought so, had he been in our
school all day.
The holiday was almost here
when we learned that children in
other schools would have much
more to make them happy than we
had. Of course we had not for
gotten the day and some o/ us had
read stories about Thanksgiving,
but, we had not planned for a big
day.
After a visit and inspiring talk
by the Rev. W. H. Collins, our
teacher expressed her wish that
we had planned to have a good
lunch prepared by us and invite
our parents.
A number of voices saying, "We
can, yet. Let's do it." were heard.
Our teacher agreed at once to let
us try. All began to tell what they
could bring. A list was made. Then
someone suggested that we follow
the Basic Seven in selecting food
ot bring.
Each grade searched its own
health book and other helps we
had for information and soon
everyone was deary to discuss the
menu.
It was agreed that every cnild
furnish his own dishes.
The final list was made and all
of us with hearts full of happiness
and eagerness for the next day to
come, left for home
I The girls were happier because
they wished that they could do
the cooking whrie the boys looked
Hie next morning came too late
for some. Long before time for
i-nyone to be here one boy came
up with a wheelbarrow full ot
food and cooking utensils.
Behind him came other children
with arms full of packages. Louise
Collins brought a banana pudding
and potato salad already to
serve.
And before many miautes our
teacher s desk was neatly covered
with frying pans, cookers, sauce
pans, toaster grater, dishes and
silverware. The room was warm
and the heater was ready to be
gin cooking. And what a surprise
to the girls!
The boys had come all scrubbed
us, hands and fingernails all
clean, and waves set In their hair.
They had come to help cook. And
they did.
Everyone from the least to the
biggest, except those who had not
entirely recoverd from a cold, had
t job.
There were apples to be peeled,
potatoes to be cooked and mashed,
carrots to be grated, milk, toma
toes and string beans cans to be
opened. There was bread to be
toasted, slaw to be made, chicken
to be fried, chow chow to be pre
pared and salad dressing to be
made.
Fourteen or fifteen of us were
working in our small room but
there was not a single traffic acci
dent. Every chance I had to look
around from my chicken frying,
I noticed that courtesy, quietness
and cooperation were being prac
ticed by everyone The rooir was
filled with pleasant sounds which
can be made only by children
with happy hearts, busy hands and
cooperation in work. Miss Collins
aescribed it as the hum of indus
try.
Just when our lunch period
came and we were ready to serve,
we were glad to see two visitors,
Mr. and Mrs. Zaer Collins, whom
we had invited. We regretted that
our parents could not come be
rause of sickness in the home. The
'?oys and girls both served the
food.
After lunch the dishes, cooking
utensils and food untouched were
?sorted. T. J. Harris, who brought
the wheelbarrow, gathered the
scraps for his pig.
When we had sat down again I
heard someone say that we had
not had a lesson todgy. When Miss
Collins heard that statement she
reminded us that we had had art
in arranging the food, arithmetic
in enlarging the recipes, courtesy
and cooperation in bringing, pre
paring, and serving the food,
health in selecting the food, his
tory and geography in learning
the reasons we celebrate Thanks
?iving. spelling in making our list
ef foods we could bring, and En
glish when we write the story
about today's experience.
