Students in West School's fifth

grades.
Since the first of the year, stu-
‘dents were actively collecting
leaves to have them pressed,

mounted, and labeled by October
8. Another part of the project on
plants was to write a formal paper
on the plant of their cioice. In this
paper, strict guidelines about dia-
grams, pictures, examples, and re-
search were implemented. A plant
life-cycle showing the different
stages of growth was drawn on
poster board by students.
Many students chose to make a
collage of pictures showing the us-
es of plants. Still others opted to
make models of plants using their
imagination and any materials
available.

cellence. Many of the students
commented about the enthusiasm
and knowledge their teachers
demonstrated in the classroom, and
many praised their teachers for
their ability to relate to youngsters
on a personal as well as a profes-
sional level. One student wrote
about her teacher saying, "she
made education something pleasur-
able, instead of a dreadful ordeal,
by letting me spread my wings and
showing me the best way to fly."
"The students they have learned
much from their research and cre-
ative efforts. The fruit of much
hard work will not only be the
grades received, but the knowledge
and interest students have gained.
These students are to be congratu-
lated and commended for a job
well done," said their teachers.

LOOK
BIGGER
There are many ways that you
can use the right furniture and the
right decorating ideas to make any
smaller room seem bigger.
We're going to list for you some of
the ways of achieving it.
1. Use some more light colors.
Light colors make a room look larger
while many dark colors make it
contract.
2. Use such things as two smaller
pieces for one bigger one; for
example, two smaller tables instead
of one extra large on.
3. Use mirrors; mirrors give the
illusion of adding space.
4. If you buy furniture or
accessories with patterns, choose
some smaller patterns.
5. Wall-to-wall carpet makes an
area look bigger.
6. Try some pictures with deep
perspectives; outdoor scenes:-
landscapes or seascapes that seem to
show miles of space--add depth to a
room.
7. Don't overcrowd a small room,
create an impress of space.
8. Use some occasional chairs and
some smaller-scaled furniture.
Those are just some of the ideas,
and for the right selection of
furniture for a small room-or any
room--in your home, stop in.
We're here to help you.
