Project Many-Sided
Second-grade pupils at Park

train sometime ago, and therein

iness acumen, excitement and
adventure.
It all started as a unit of study
about trains.
rious work and the project excit
ed their attention sufficiently to
make them want to ride on one of
the passenger trains which pass
several times daily near, the
school.
Mrs. Mary Lou Davidson, the
teacher, accompanied several of
the students to the Southern Rail*"
way office here, and a conference
with Messrs L. L. Benson and W.
M. Moorhead brought the infor
mation that a special trip to
Spartanburg, S. C., could be ar
ranged, but that the fare woulfi
be $1.09 per student.
For 33 young folk, this amoun
ted to a sizeable sum, but they
were not daunted. One second -
grader was appointed treasurer
of the fund-raising venture, and
the treasurer's first move was to
install a piggy bank on the
classroom premises. The stud
ents, transferring their ice cream
and candy money to the piggy
bank, kept nickles and dimes
flowing in, and. in addition, wept
into business by selling home
made candy, popcorn and pea
nuts to thejr neighbors in the
other grades. Parents helped with
the peanuts and ltome-made
candy, and the children them
selves handled the popcorn busi
ness on two electric poppers
brought to the school. When the
necessary funds had been ob
tained, a coterie of youngsters
visited the Southern Hallway sta
tion and purchased Che tickets
for a special bar trip on February
15. Accompanying the youngsters
were Mrs. Davidson and six grade
mothers, Mrs. Rune Swan son,
Mrs. Charles Oxford, Mis. Marsh

Mrs. Clifford Kircus. ? ? ,
The trip exceeded their fondest
