Gladys Gruber, Teacher

January 6 marked the close of the fourth month of school. Only two pupils, Dolores and Theresa Strub, have had perfect attendance up to date.

All grades have nicely met the requirements for the first half year's work.

Rita Batteen, who had been attending the i.C. Parochial School, has now commenced her work in our school. Welcome, Rita!

We have had several visits from patrons in our school district, also Miss Nan Clack, R.N., and Miss McCormick.

Our Christmas program was presented before a large audience Friday afternoon, December 23. We had a lovely Christmas tree and each pupil exchanged names for gifts. And, of course - Santa didn't forget about our program and was right ready to deliver the gifts and candy.

The following have earned spelling certificates: Clara, Clarence, and Loretta Weipert; Harold and Alice Moore, Mary and Dolores Strub.
