Valentine Parties Held
By Grade School Classes
0
A festive spirit has prevaded
the school and has t-?n felt in
every classroom for the past
week, with Valentine parties and
colorful decorations the order of
the day. It has been a big week
in the lives of the children, parti
cularly the little ones, with love
and human kindness receiving "
perhaps a little more emphasis
than at other times of the year.
Most of the children were on
their best behavior all of Friday
morning, giving special attention
to completing their work prompt
ly and well. At 1:30 for some
classes and 2 o'clock for others,
however, the long-awaited mom
ent arrived ? the sharing of fun,
refreshments and Valentines.
The menu at lunchtime was al
so fitting for the occasion. Mrs.
Buchanan and her corps of work
ers served turkey, rice and gravy,
English peas, biscuits, butter,
jelly and milk. Although a festive
board, this lunch is really typical
of the excellent meals received
daily by the children at school.
Miss Lanier's First Grade
Miss Lanier's first grade was
entertained by Chuck Blanton
Friday afternoon at a birthday
party. He served ice cream, cup
cakes, orange- juice and Valen
tine candy.
Miss Bm hears' Second Orade
The Valentine party was a big
success. There were many surpris
es in the box of each child. Those
bringing refreshments were Bar
bara Yoder, John Harrison, Gay
Underwood, Walter Ray Welch
and Jimmy Cannon. The class or
joyed the visit of Nancy Cox last
week.
Miss GUsbs' Fourth Grade
Miss Gibbs' class had a Valen
tine party Friday. They had a
good time together playing games,
eating refreshments and sharing
cards. The refreshments included
potato candy, oranges, .coola id and
cookies. Wanda Cooke was chosen
to give out the Valentines.
Alice Mast has been absent
since January 28, when she had
her tonsils removed.
Mr. Cutts' Fifth Grade
The class enjoyed a series of
parties last week, the first being
given on Wednesday by Margaret
Rose Brown. She treated the class
to soda pop, cookies and candy
mints. On Thursday, the pupils
found cups of cool aid, cup cakes,
and candy on their desks when
they returned from the play per
iod. Co-hostesses on this occasion
were Barbara Edwards and Len
nis Coffey. On Friday afternoon,
while Miss Shefleton distributed
the Valentines, Mack Dyer and
Ray Greene assisted Mr. Cutts In
serving ice cream to the class.
The class has been using a new
tape recorder for the past week,
and many of the pupils have be
come quite interested in improv- ,
ing their public speaking and oral
reading ability. Each person is
able to hear just how he sounds 1
to others and to correct many
faulty speech patterns. Thee lass
also has been doing much crea
tive writing, starting with only a
picture or a title from which a
story is developed. Some of the
best work has been done by Mar
garet Roie Brown, Patsy Gaulden
and Carl Benson.
MiM Walker's Sixth Grade
The class had its Valentine
party Friday afternoon at 1:45.
Sharon Collins, the student teach
ers (Misses Holland and Kivette).

ments: candy, cookies and ice

V8
Fck in the old days, any man who
wanted real performance used a
"cutout" on his car.
It was a device that by-passed the
muffler? because mufflers have
always cut down on usable power.
But it made a lot of noise. '
, Muffling that noise ? and still getting
rid of okhaust gases as fast as they
come from the cylinders ? has
?tumped the automobile people for
years. ?
Wow, Buick engineers have racked
up another "first."
They have cothe up with a muffler of
supreme quiet and sero power lojp
first time in history.
il. fc I li/-r S?iar*liC UTMIB I- -. .I, -
It is called a dynamic flow muffler.
And it is one of many advances
that make the great 1953 Buick
Ro adm aster even .greater.
For this automobile ? the greatest '
Buick in fifty great years? has a bril
liant new V8 Engine that can turn up
188 hp. And every one of its horse
powers can be delivered as usable
power ? since none is restricted in
muffler passage.
As you would expect, there is more
to this magnificent motorcar than
power, 'great though it is.
There's a finer ride, better maneu
verability, easier handling? now with
Power Steering as standard equip
KOAUMASM ,
CMMIIUTirl""
ment, and Power Brakes optional at
extra coat.
And there's the amazing new TWin
Turbine Dynaflow bringing quieter,
jet-fast getaway to complete and utter
smoothness.
Why not oome in and see for yourself
just how^reat the greatest Buick in
half a cegtury really is?
