THIRD GRADE
To the pupils in Mrs. Murphy’s
third grade room Christmas is of
absorbing interest. We divided
our unit table into two parts: on
one part we are building Bethle
hem and the manger scene; the
other part is devoted to Santa
Claus. Regular classroom work is
done expeditiously so that Christ
mas posters may be made and our
room decorated.
Prizes for the best boy’s and
girl’s workbook were won by Es
ther Alexine and Ricky Norbert.
As supplementary work and in
terest in our science study we are
asking Mr. Robert Baldwin to
talk to us about the stars in the
December skies. Also Mr. McCabe
will talk on pigeons and his Alas
kan experiences.
Supplementing Mrs. K e a r n’s
very fine work in music, we are
studying Tschaikowsky’s “Nut
cracker Suite” with its charming
story and lovely music.
FOURTH GRADE
Last Thursday we had a party
for our teacher, Mr. Perkins. Mrs.
Kearns taught us the Wedding
Song and helped us compose a
song congratulating the bridal
couple. We sang our song for Mr.
Perkins and then had cake and
Kool-Aid.
While we were eating we
looked at classical comics that we
had borrowed from Miss Ready’s
room. We gave Mr. Perkins a gift
and congratulated him on his
coming marriage.
Mrs. Kearns, Mr. Kangas, Mr.
Williams and Mr. Hahn shared
our party.

improving greatly.

ernment has started work on a
new immigration policy under

ships docking in this country

gration Law, which goes into ef
fect Dec. 24, requires foreign sea
men to say they have never be
longed to a political party which
advocates forcible overthrow of
the American Government. Com
munists are automatically barred.
The British are reported con
cerned about the new rules, fearr
ing the screening may cause ma
jor delays in the sailing schedules
of their big liners. The Queen
Mary and Queen Elisabeth carry
2,600-man crews.
The crewmen of all foreign
vessels come undfcr the new law.
