Three Corners school notes

Martha Wendel, Teacher

Friday, Oct, 19, marked the close of our first six weeks of school. Those with perfect attendance for the period were as follows: Eugene Shogren, Leo Fish, Esther Shogren, Robert Bartheld and Robert Bakewell.

Robert Bartheld has had the most perfect spelling lessons so far this year. Mary Pierce leads in the number of books read and reported on.

The second grade is working at follow-up seat work covering the lessons. This seat work will later be combined into interesting booklets. This grade has also made some clever leaf booklets.

The seventh and eighth grade pupils are working very diligently on their history notebooks. The new problem method seemed somewhat difficult for them at first, but now they are progressing very satisfactorily.

Each week we look forward to getting our copy of My Weekly Reader. This little paper contains many things that we find very interesting for current events.

Myron Reppe, the president of our barberry club, and Velma Knickerbocker have received first degree medals for finding plants on their farms,

Our school room has been made more pleasant by bouquets of garden flowers brought by Robert Bartheld, Robert Bakewell and Eugene Shogren.

School notes, 1935, Lafayette township No. 7
Agnes Conway, Teacher

We have an enrollment of fourteen. Our two beginners, Ramona Mooney and Raymond Hawes have finished reading one book and are ready to begin another.

Those who have perfect attendance certificates are: Raymond, Marguerite and Norbert Hawes, Romona and Jeanne Mooney, Mary Ann and Leo O'Hara, Clara Heatley, Lorraine Feuerhelm, and LaVonne Cassidy.

Miss Conway, with the help of some of the pupils made a primary table out of some of the parts of an old organ that was in the wood shed.

We are grateful to the School Board for putting up a set of new maps. To help pay for them we held a bingo party Sunday evening, Nov. 3rd. In spite of the inclement weather we had a very nice crowd. We wish to take this means of thanking all who helped to make it a success. After all expensed were paid, we had a profit of $22.14.
