The 8â€"3 girls have been working on Junior Red Cross favors which they expert to finish this week. These favors consist of paper picnic plates on which the girls shellacked animal and clown cutouts. After finishing these plates the girls made crepe paper hats to go with the plates. The girls also made boutonâ€" nieres out of painted pine cones.

They have been correâ€" sponding with the girls latbolnn-‘ jor high school at Wauwatosa, Wis. When they first started writing, they wrote group letters, but now they are writing independently and some of the girls have received seyvâ€" €ral letters. Lately many snapshots have been exchanged between the two groups. Assembly Program Our assembly program this afterâ€" noon will be in charge of the school‘s tumbling club. The members will give an exhibition of the stunts they have learnedâ€"since clubs were: orâ€" ganized. They will do hand springs, head stand, head spring, the pyraâ€" mid, and many others. Everyope is invited to come. We know they are not so good as the high school tumâ€" blers, but they are ambitious to do as well as they can. The girls in the primary buildâ€" ing were interested in the eighth grade patrol in the large building, so they have a patrol organized among themselves. They are doing a fine job of it, too. Wiait until they are eighth graders! One of our fifth grades gave a fishing assembly. The first scene showed a school room. The children were talking about different kinds of fishing and traps. Next a girl <ame out in front of the curtain and said a poem. The next thing was a play. The first scene was a small fishing village. The men were getâ€" ting ready for a fishing trip. In the next scene one of the children saw the fishermen coming home. They brought the front of their boat on the stage. It was a very nice asâ€" sembly, and I think we all learned something about fishing. Miss Diehle, who teaches first grade and kindergarten says, "It is very interesting to watch the children grow, and to see their inâ€" terests change." f Ravinia school . will have its eleventh annual kite day, » the twentyâ€"third. In the first we fiew our kites froi the yâ€" ground, and it took great to get them above the tree tops.

Eighth Grade Class Meeting Held The eighth grade class of Elm Place voted for class colors at our Four woodsmen, J. D. Zook, Jack Ronan, Donn Moseley, and Art Flint, left Highland Park Sunday afterâ€" noon, with little reluctance, for the Des Plaines river. For sleeping quarters, two leanâ€"tos were quickly and entertainment for all those who wish to play. Movie Question Hotly Debated : On Friday, the ninth of April, a debate was held last period in the auditorium by representatives of all the eighth grade classes debating the question, "Resolved, That Public Movies are Beneficial to Grade School Children." We hope that the outcome of this debate did not influence the mothérs minds too much. Science Room Interesting During newspaper club I walked through Miss Cramer‘s science room to see what points of interést I could find. I took particular notice of a largeâ€"Japanese garden where many cacti and other plants are growing nicely. One of the boys has named . this garden "Raining in Japan" because it is covered by â€"a large glass domeâ€"shaped cover, and the moisture from the inside has gathered on the glass, thus making it look like rain. They also have a pen in which they keep allintors! turtles, and Trogs. The children have several methods of feeding the alligators, one with their hands, and the other with a stick. The first mishap was a graceful tumble into the creek, taken by Art Flint. Donn Moseley won first prize in frying eges, because when his egg was half fried he decided to scramble it. Ronan was champion steak flipper. He said that dirt flavâ€" wred it. J. D. Zook qualified as the best egg smasher, having stepped into a dozen of eggs and breaking ten. The best time tellerâ€" was Art Flint, who thought, at a little after midnight, he saw the sun rising in the south. The hike came to an end qnll:y Monday morning, due to the cold. In spite of the shortness of the hike and the cold, the boys agreed that they had had loads of fun. â€"By Art Flint, 8â€"2. Many good points were made by both sides, stressing the points, health and educational value. After the debate was over, the teachers who acted as judges, proâ€" claimed the negatives winners. madeira andâ€"fancy linen froned and folded ready for use.

The children in the fourth grades under the ‘able assistance of their teachers have n experimenting with different ts. For instance, they have planted a few green plants in a sponge with a little water in a pan underneath, and, to my surprise, they were really flourâ€" ishing. Each child has also planted sbme peanuts in tiny pots and each is watching his pot with real inâ€" terest to see if it will live. They have all drawn pictures of nature and bird life, and these pictures make a bright addition to the rooms. Remember we are open evenings until eight. This is for your convenâ€" ience.
