ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROUND-UP tv t'.n rrv Hv Copvists, Barbara Burke and Douglas Owenby. Happy birthday Benjamin Frank lin! January IT is the 250th an niversary of Benjamin Franklin’s birth. Forty nations of the free world are celebrating his birthday, too. Franklin was a patriot, a statesman, a writer, a public of ficial and an inventor. All the world knows Franklin as a great scientist. He was hard-working and patient and always stuck with a problem until he solved it. As a result, Franklin made important discoveries about electricity. He proved by the kite experiment that lightning is electricity. He in vented the armonica, a musical in strument made of 37 different sized piece of glass. When the colonies began to talk of being independent Franklin urged them on in a clever way. As postmaster he could mail all his own letters free by marking each envelope: Free B. Franklin. W hen the colonies voice for liberty grew louder, he marked his envelopes: B. Free Franklin. Franklin was also a philosopher. A few of his wise sayings are: "The sleeping fox catches no poultry. Up! Up.’’ “Eat to live, and not live to eat.” "Honesty is the best policy." “He that cannot obey, cannot command.” —Pere Beha. Second Grade—Mrs. Mann's class. Wre have been busy writing thank-you notes. Here is one: Dear P.T.A. Thank you for the bags of candy, nuts, oranges, apples, bubble gum and a balloon. We liked the treat very much. Your friends, Mrs. Mann’s second grade. A story about our Doll Show. We had a doll show Thursday, Jan. 5. Some girls brought their dolls to school. The dolls are pret ty. Emily’s doll was .the prettiest. Linda’s doll was the largest. Linda Gail’s doll was the smallest. Bar bara P.’s doll had the prettiest dress. Barbara W.’s doll has a pony tail. Karen’s doll has curly hair. Doll shows are fun. —By Keline Cox.

Softly floating and swishing down through the air To cover the earth here and there. ! like to make tracks in the snow \nd run and jump and play all day. rhen everyone is so happy and Kay, When Old Man Winter comes this way. Quietly, quietly, the world is turn ing white, The snow falls all through the night. When I wake up in the morning light A blanket of snow makes a beau tiful sight. Fifth Grade—Mrs. Rice’s Class. We all had a merry Christmas and were very happy that we got out of school for nearly three weeks. In history we are studying about pioneer life. They had a hard time crossing the continent to get to Oregon. We found out that Meth odist and Presbyterian missionar ies were among the very first peo ple to make this hard trip. Only two women went at first. They were Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Spalding. Mrs. Whitman wrote letters which told of their exciting experiences. To help us increase our word vo cabularies, Mrs. Rice gives prizes each grading period for the best word booklets. We put in them new words we have learned with a good meaning for each one. This grading period first prizes went to Shirley Raines and Peggy Jo Chandler. Second prizes were won by Paula Loftus, Alana Bedding field, and Darleen Goss. Sharon Davis and John Mundy received third place prizes. Those in our room who have not missed a day during the first half of the year are Shirley Raines, Marsha Glenn, Sharon Davis, Rich ard Pittman, James Nolan, John Alfred McDonald Is Dead At 96 Alfred M.

The baro netric pressure is 29.9, falling :ast which means increasing cloud iness and bad weather with some <ind of precipitation. The temper ature at 9:00 a.m. was 40 degrees. Each week we have a group of five to forecast the weather. Some members are making an impro vised barometer, a weather vane, rain gauge and weather charts. For the first time, we can pick up a weather map, read it, and know the meaning. Regina Stafford, and Connie Taylor, reporters. Mrs. Burgess’ Class. As the new year 1956 begins it is wise to take inventory of yourself; find out what you are excelling in, what you are failing in. Our third term report cards helped answer many of these ques tions and many resolbtions have been made to improve the weak nesses. As we look back over 1955, wo would like to express our appre ciation to our grade mothers foi the wonderful and happy times they have shown us as a class. We would also like to express our appreciation to Mr. McDougle and Mr. Gouge for their leader ship and guidance; to Miss Tipton, leader of the safety patrol, who has made our community and school safer; and to our teacher. Mrs. Burgess, who has helped us through the first semester. Members of our class have made individual resolutions which we find of interest; Eugene Smith has l-esolved to become more studious.

Some of the girls in our room collected money for food, napkins, and drinks. They also made three cakes and candy. The girls who made the cakes were Brenda Linens, Nana Beha, and Jean Tipton. Brenda also made some candy. Marie Allison and Marie Swann brought potato chips. Friday morning was another special occasion. Miss Lindsey’s seventh grade challenged our room to a spelling bee.
