Happy Birthday to all you children! Mrs. Tucker is away. We hope she will soon be back to help us. Mrs. Winsor is now helping in her place. Parents are invited to visit us. Mrs. Roper's Room: Mrs. Roper's First Grade have enjoyed making snowmen and snowflakes and counting the dimes that come in for the Polio fund. Mrs. Seegmiller's Room: You may take the North Pole Limited and visit Eskimo Land in our room. We are having a good time reading and learning about the people of the Far North. We hope you will watch for the big opening of our First Grade Store. We are busy getting it ready. We are all working, trying to earn a few pennies for the Polio Fund. Fathers, do you need your shoes shined? Mrs. Wiley's Room: The girls and boys in Mrs. Wiley's room are studying about fish. We are also experimenting with seeds. We have planted many seeds in different ways to see which ones will start growing first. Mrs. Black's Room: Anita Crafts has been chosen as our class representative for the Student Council. We have a conductor in our room Each week a different child Is chosen to be the conductor. NadLne Ogden is our Conductor for this week. She is the teacher's helper and chooses other children to help do the things that need to be done to make our room neat and quiet. In our room we have been study ing about winter weather. We have been having good weather, but in some places in our country there has been lots of snow and trouble with had winter weather. Mrs. Reid's 2nd and 3rd Grades: Pete, the Guinea Pig Pete, the Guinea Pig, is visiting us this week. Some of the teachers brought Pete to our school when they visited in Cedar City. He gives a shrill whistle when we are real quiet. He eats green vegetables, pellets and grain. His diet is the same as a rabbit. We wonder if he will be aware of his popularity and pub licity this week. Mrs. Fullmer's 3rd Grade: Mrs. Fullmer's 3rd Grade has started a newspaper in their room At the end of the week, each student stu-dent writes an item of news. They are all typed and hectographed, The next Tuesday each student reads his own item to the class. These papers are made into little booklets and may be referred to whenever the children wish. This develops reading and writing ability, abil-ity, responsibility, skill in English, and creates interest. Mrs. Finlinson's Fourth Grade: In our room we have a library table. When work is finished, we can go there and read. We get our books from the Library. We also have magazines, such as the National Nat-ional Geographic, Arizona Highways, High-ways, etc. that have very interesting interest-ing pictures to look at. We also have the daily newspaper and the Weekly Reader which is interesting. We enjoy going to the library table very much. Mrs. Knight's Fifth Grade: Ronnie Bailey is out of school because he jumped off a barn and sprained his ankle. We hope he will be back soon. We are working hand to save our pennies, nickles and dimes for the Polio Drive.

Sometimes the results even surprise us! Mr. Martin's Fifth Grade: Ditna Heyer has been ill for the past few days. We wish her well annd hope she can return to our class soon. Dian Cahoon, who has been ill has returned to school. Welcome back, Dian. Don't you parents become worried wor-ried if you hear your children let out with some remarks some morning morn-ing that you don't understand;' it's Swedish, which they are now beginning to learn at shcool. Library The first grades will soon be taking tak-ing books from the Library. We try, but find it impossible to have enough books that are easy enough for these little folks to read flu ently. If your child brings home i book that he cannot read, will you please read and enjoy it with dim? We feel that the experience Df taking books from the library is good for the children. They learn how to conduct themselves in the library, where and how the hooks are kept, and how to care for them They learn to be responsible for the books and to bring them back on time. Will you please help us n making this a pleasant expert jnce for them? Elementary School Hews From Hinckley New officers were elected to the Student Council in the sixth grade.

They bought two Registered Berkshire Gilts for Larry and Cary Sampson and then Mr. Openshaw, whom we bought the gilts from, gave us another gilt and she went to Jerry Bennett. We think it was very nice of Mr. Op-enshow Op-enshow to do this for the chapter. Our Rodent and Pest drive ended Friday and was quite successful. The members paid 25c entrance fee and the chapter will give $15. to the winner. This will go towards buying a .22 rifle. Vincent Cropper, Crop-per, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Cropper of Deseret, won the prize on the pest drive. He had a total of 10,210 points on all pests. Cu-man Cu-man Cropper, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cumman Cropper of Deseret, was next with a total of 8,815 points. During this drive there were the following amount of pests killed: Rabbits, 819; birds, 1,138; crows, 4; magpies, 28; mice, 123; woodpeckers, woodpeck-ers, 27; fox, 2; bobcats, 5; rats, 21; skunks, 5.

Mrs. Roberts' room has been studying Charles Darwin's and Von Weizsacker's theories on "How Our Moon Was Born." What do you think? Was the moon erupted from our earth, or was it formed by many particles from the universe? uni-verse? No one knows, but that "is one of the things to be solved when we finally reach the moon and compare it with the elements of the earth. Mrs. Sanford's class is studying the weather. Every morning they read the thermometer to check the temperature and compare it with the day before. They observe the clouds, check the wind speed and direction and make charts to record re-cord all their information They find that to do all this they have to use their arithmetic knowledge, their reading, writing and spelling, and their interest in science in growing.

There are two basic types of books, fiction and non-fiction. In our library we have a few more non-fiction than fiction, but it is just about half and half. There should be plenty of reading material ma-terial for every student, so let's use it. When you want a book, go to the card catalog to get the call number for Miss Hansen; it should be easy. There are only 25,000 cards. You can see Miss Hansen really has a job on her hands taking care of all the books we use. Let's help her and treat all the library books with respect.

Junior High School Play The Delta Junior High School is n the process of selecting their annual school play. Students desiring de-siring to try out should begin thinking and planning for this annual an-nual affair, Students with equal ability will be selected by grade, due to the last chance for 9th grade students to participate in the junior high activities. Several plays are being read in order to make a proper selection that will suit students and adults. Part of the requirements are for a play that is comic in nature with some mystery involved, due to the students' request. Tryouts will be held next week if a selection can be completed by then. Attendance Contests Held The Freshman class at Delta Junior High School recently won a $10.00 prize, for having the best attendance record from Thanksgiving Thanks-giving to Christmas. The contest was sponsored by the student newspaper, "The Thumper." A bake sale, conducted by the paper staff, provided the money for the prize. Another contest, lasting until May 1, is now under way. Two primary reasons lie 'behind the drive for better attendance. First, student success is direcetly affected by attendance; and second, sec-ond, money received from the state to operate the schools is determined deter-mined on the number of students in attendance each day. 31 arch of IHmcs Contest IJrivc Is Underway Plans have been made for the annual March of Dimes campaign for the Delta Junior High School.

Both the lab and lecture room have been equipped with new flooring, lighting and acoustical improvements. The lecture room is a separate and adjoining room to the lab. The room seats 34 students on elevated el-evated pedestal seats with oversized over-sized arms. A demonstration bench at the front of the room is equipped with electricity, gas, and water. This makes it possible for the teacher to perform worth-while experiments for the benefits of training the students. New blackout black-out drapes have been ordered for this room to make it possible for slides and movies to be shown to the students. Bond money, voted on by the people of Millafd County, has made it possible for these and other school improvements for the benefit of education. |
