Show Brookslde Nevs By Suzanne Strong and Tyra Binghona EDITOR'S NOTE We wish to commend the Brookside . school and these fine reporters, and the teachers who cooperate cooper-ate to send in the news each week from the Brookside school. We believe that the students as well as the readers read-ers of the Springville Herald learn much from the School News. We invite other schools to send in their news. Deane Nelson's class is operating a broadcasting station, Station KBES, every afternoon. It is produced pro-duced from the stage storage room and broadcast out to the radios in the room at 1230 kilocycles. Those who want to take part, put their applications into the KBES mailbox, and then the staff ar- ranges the time for them to appear. ap-pear. Sally Peay, from Mr. Mason's room, had a serious accident last Thursday noon. Mr. Bird, our custodian, cus-todian, was bringing ashes from the basement with the lift, and some of the students were holding up the iron doors on the driveway while he did so. Sally, with other children, was watching when the big door dropped catching the ends of her toes. Two toes were broken and another lacerated. Mr. Bird applied first aid and then her mother took her to the doctor. She is improving. This was particularly disacterous for Sally as she is a dancer and was supposed to take part in three dance reviews in the next two weeks. Every Friday morning, Miss Childs' fourth grade has a fun hour of dancing and games in the class room. Other years,' each class has had a period several times a week in the auditorium, but this year, because of the two' sixth grade classes in there all day, the dancing danc-ing and playing of games must be in the class rooms. Miss Hall's fourth grade has been studying Utah, and each has made a special report to acquaint the children with their home state. Last Monday, our school had a movie, "Miracle on Thirty-Fourth . Street." We very much enjoyed it, as it taught us that kindness is so important in our lives. The sixth grade students join their two classes for a dancing program the last part of each Tuesday and Friday. We are learning learn-ing many new square dances, round dances, and partner dances. Last Friday, some students who attended Grant school last year, taught us a new dance called, "The Broom Dance." If students were caught with the broom at the end of a dance, or when the music was unexpectedly stopped had to take part in a funny beauty contest. John Joe Miller won. |
