856-9674 Evenings and Sundays by Appt REV. GRUBER SPEAKS Rev. Gruber of the Albia E.U.B. cbnrch spoke to the world history classes and also showed slides. Rev.

Gruber and his family lived in England for one year and also toured Europe. The classes were told that the people in Europe are like the American people basically but their habits are different. One notic- able difference is that the English policemen do not carry guns but use "bUHeclubs." Most of the English homes are made out of stone. While Rev. Gruber was in England he and his family lived in a large stone house which was shared with two other families.

Many beautiful stone fences are found in the country. Some of them were actually built by th Romans. Slides were also shown of the Gruber family's trip to Europe. They toured the beautiful Swiss Alps as well as many other countries. The Rev.

said that many small Dutch children actually do wear wooden shoes! In one Europe cemetery there were so many bodies that six feet of dirt had to be brought in and covered over the land, and more people are buried here! The slides were very interesting and I'm sure that everyone would like to thank Rev. Gruber.

15 set-ups, the leg lift, and 50 grass hoppers. When we finished these exercises, we each tried to do at least 8 pull-ups. Next we numbered off in a 1-2-1-2 fashion until we were divided into two teams to play kick ball. To start the game, two players one from each team, stand in the center of the floor and touch their toes three times. Then they kick the ball to the opposite end of the floor and kit the wall.

Hands could not be used. When someone violated the rule, a free kick was given to the other team. One person kicks the ball and tries to hit the opposite wall while the other team staods around the wall to prevent its touching the wall When the ball touches the wall, point is scored.

We're sorry that we haven't written sooner, but we have been busy observing these earthlings and keep- ng hidden. In our studies on Mars, we were always taught that these creatures were relatively kind and humane. This is definitely not so! It was relatively quiet one afternoon and we crept out of our hiding places.

All of a sudden, many of these crea- ures came noisily to the end of his room. It is a large room with ables and large stools. Out of cur- osity we decided to watch. It uear- proved to be fatal. These cruel, cruel animals took helpless little animals and started to cut them up! was all we could do to stay; because with our sensitive ears, we could hear the poor victims scream- ng! These inhuman things said, "I ike dissecting" or "Gee, this is It was too much.

We started to leave but someone started to up 007 and said, "Look at that unny kid," but 007 used his disappearing mechanisms to disappear, and it proved to be a close call! Some of these creatures think that they are superior. We were observing a large male. He definitely superior in his weight and he has Giving thanks always foi ail (Eph, 5:20) A child can be taught to say "thank you," for what is done for him, but to learn to be truly thankful ia a lesson of the heart, of the spirit, of the whole man. Praise, appreciation, gratitude, blessings can change and transform the heart, heal the body, erase old hurts, bring joy to us all and give real meaning and beauty to every day. Let your first awakening thought be, "Thank you, God." BOOKKEEPING Work at the end of the fiscal per- od has been our main topic in book- teeping for several days.

Now we are starting a new chapter which deals with using a cash register. In the chapter just completed, where we were assigned to close he books for the Knight Lumber Company, we balanced accounts, made out a work sheet, prepared an income statement and a balance iheet, entered adjusting and closing mtries in the combination journal, ruled the accounts, and finally, prepared a post closing trial balance. Now the cash register is our main concern and we will learn how to use it and record sales made with t. Sounds like work and "possibly" un! Francine WE HAD AN ASSEMBLY The Moravia students and faculty were privileged to have as an assembly program Tuesday, March 8, Mr. Dale Doore and one of his interesting educational travel logues.

Mr. Doore took us on a breathtaking trip to the enchanted island of Vancouver via film. He started at one end of the island and traveled across it. We saw parks with wild animals, who came near for a handout, logging camps that showed how trees are cut and conveyed to the saw and paper mills, and different fishing areas where we saw how they skinned and cut up large whales. After these whales are skinned, the skin is used for fertilizer and the meat is sent to Japan.

These are only a few of the many sights we viewed. The last of the interesting events of the film showed Mr. Doore scal- irtg, smoking, and canning the large salmon he had cauaht. When the film came to a close, we all returned to our sixth period classes. Francine BE A BOOKWORM The bulletin board in the library is very clever this month; the theme is a Bookworm." To carry out this theme, a worm has been made of brown yarn and is holding a book in his hands.

Pat- rotism has also been shown by the border of red, white, and blue. This is a cute idea. The fact is very true; I think more of us need to be bookworms not only with library books but also with our subjects. Jam Moravia Union, Thursday. March 17.

banquet is April 1. The theme is "Rainbow of Fashions." Mr. Sutton How are some of the female drivers doing! Kathy Pullen SPRING FASHIONS What is "in" for spring? Think spring in the carefree calicos. These will be included in the many things that will jet across the U.S. in the fashion rush with canvas, voiles, and stripes.

The "go-west" looks are the snap down skirts, saddle- stitched canvas, railroad ticking and prairie hats. A canvas and calico partner is a dress with a T-top and a skirt with an adjustable hip belt. A hip- hugger canvas skirt with hand-sized pockets teams up with a calico print blouse. A calico blazer, a sun-flower shirt, and calico western slacks add a flare to any sports occasion. Calico with locomotive stripes copied from real railroad uniforms is just right for the look of spring.

Mary Kay U. S. LITERATNRE The juniors in Mrs. Barber's American Literature class are studying The Modern Short Story and such authors as: O. Henry, Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Thomas Wolfe, and others.

As an outside reading assignment, each student is to read a short story every week and a novel every six weeks. On Mondays each student makes a short oral report to Mrs. Barber and the class. These reports are very interesting, and the fact that we are not allowed to disclose the ending increases the interest.
