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.
