Through the study of them we can gain the best ^struction on how to live. We learn proverbs of different nations, those from the Bibje, and, of course, the ones writen by Benjamin Franklin. We use some of these proverbs as a basis for making up stories which are given both in written and oral form. Fifth Grade. Chapel Visitor We were glad to have Mrs. L. K. Simpson as our guest speaker at Chapel Monday morning. We en joyed her talk and hope that she will visit us often. ; Mrs. Simpson talked to us from Matthew 7:12 which is the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” She talked about honesty in school and said that we should not look on anyone’s paper or tell the answer to a test question. The way to follow the Golden Rule is to put yourself in the other fel low’s place. Play fair in games of all kinds. Do not cheat, lie, drink or smoke. We are building our lives and we should use good materials. Billy Parker. Good Citizenship and Health Club . The third grade children have formed a club to promote good health and good citizenship.

It is d'uite evident that each member enjoyed the evening, thanks to all those who made this possible. March of Dimes Every year about this time we have the March of Dimes Cam paign in which we give to the infantile paralysis patients all over the country. Many children cannot go to school or to their churches as we do because of this dreadful disease. All they can do is wait for the day to come when they can walk again and be hap py. It is our duty to help them by giving to this cause. We should be proud to say that we helped someone enjoy life as we do. We hope that every student in both grammar and high school will contribute to this worthy cause. The grade which donates the most per pupil will be given a half holiday.
