School Vacation Vacation days are really here, report cards came out yesterday and the kids are home for the summer. For awhile they will be thrilled with their new found freedom, but after a time they will be bored. When the boredom starts, remember--there will be den meetings, a few Brownie summer activities, two separate vacation church school programs, church camps to send the kids to, always gardens to weed, lawns to mow, life to be lived to the fullest. Oh yes, there is George Madden's baseball training throughout the* summer for the boys too. - We think George deserves a lot jf credit for giving so much of his time to the boys. Picnics ning and gave the graduates some good things to thirifi'atjout.

The total freshmen for the fall is 54. We tols} you last week about the rained out P.T.A. picnic. Well it was much the same kind of day for the picnic planned for grades 1 to 4 last week. Grades 5 to 8 had a nice sunny day for their picnic. However, the lower grades postponed their picnic and enjoyed a beautiful day on Friday. The first three grades, their teacWei-s and mamas went to Genoa City park and feasted. The fourth grade and Mrs. Morgansen and a couple of mothers went to Fox River park for a luscious lunch of hot dogsptuna fish sandwiches, marshmallows, and soccer! You know the kids eat up that soccer like so "much ice cream. Everyone had fun, all the preschoole loved the swings, teeter-totter and slides.

The meeting was adjourned. Janet London, reporter We will give you more news of how 4-H Sunday was, attended next week!" Cub Scouts Visit Flrehouse Den 3 visited the firehouse during their meeting last week. The boys who climbed in and out and over the fire engines, were David Carlson, Greg Duncan, Jim Hoffman, Frank Hora, David Schultz and Cherry Swartzloff. What a good tune they had pretending to drive the Rescue Squad! Harry Franks was the kind man who showed them' around. The den mother got a few more grey hairs when she realized the keys were in the ignition of the fire engine. The "pretend" drivers seemed all too real then, but all was well. Probably more of the dens will be visiting the firehouse because of the Cub Scout theme for the month ip "Fire." The boys learn how to build a fire safely and how to prevent fires. They are supposed to check their own homes for fire hazards so if your son tells you what is wrong with your house, he isn't being fresh, just being cautious.
