There were 111 grade childrert
(grades I-) who ate lunsh
Jn the lunch room last Monday.
Of that nUmber there were seven,
who did not take milk with the
meal. Milk is .furnished in in-
dividual cartons. Grade A, homo-
genized and pastuerized.
We received a bulletin from
th Oklahoma State Dental as-
THEMILK
THAT TASTES
LIKE MILK
SHOULD TASTE
AT YOUR
sociation which revealed some
startling facts about the care of
the teeth. Here is one: Tooth-
pastes and powder will not pre-
vent tooth decay. They should
be considered as aids to clean-
ing. That is their purpose--des
pite misleading and unw.arranted
claims by manufacturers to the
contrary. Here is another good
quote: Dental decay is the most
widespread chronic disease which
affects mankind. It occurs in
96 per cent or more of the en-
tire population. Dental defects are
occurring six times faster than
they are being corrected among
children. The reason for so much
tooth decay is blamed on poor
diet of two much sweets.
There were 12 girls of tlhe
Perkins 4H club that attended the
clothing school last week. The
director, Miss Allison, demonstrat
ed proper methods of making
belts and buttonholes.
The boys in the grades were
absent 139 days and the girls
were absent 150 days for the
first 12 weeks of school. School
will be half over on January 18.
Five 4H bOys entered the TV
meat judging contest. They are
Bill Craft. Bill Harshinan, Jim-
mie Eon Loucks, Jimmie Wilson
and Larry Spiva.
Second Grade
We have been taking vca-
hu,lary tests. This kind of test
shows how well we remember
the new words we have had.
Some of us need to work on the
word list that was sent tome and
learn the sight words better.
In number work we have been
having races telling combina-

ur weekly Readers keep us
u with the latest news. We
read today about many Hun-
garian families coming tb America
to make their homes.
Our Science lessons have sug-I
gested making feeding places for
our bird friends. Many of the
children often put out feed and
water for our feathered friends.
We shall be looking for the birds
to return as soon as warm days
comb. o
Fourth Grade
We hhave a new boy in our
roohm He is Emil Ary, who re-
cently moved to Perkins from
California. We now h_have 37 in

Twenty-three of us attended
church over the weekend.
Sixth
SeCeral second grade pupiils
wrote letters to children in the
sixth grade Monday
Nadine Edmondson was ill
Monday. We have 42 in our room
and all the others were present.
In geography we are studying
France and its related lands in
Africa. We made an ou%line, also
' questions and answers. Friday
we finished the unit and had a
test.
Only one row had perfect at-
tendance in church last week.
'This is much lower than usual.
Next week will be the end of
the first half of school. This
means we surely will need to
work the last half of school as
we need to cover all of our books
if possible.
Bob Darby's father has been
ill but is doing fine now.
John Sise visited in Kansas
during Christmas vacation.
Paula Evans visited Miss Dun-
lavy for supper Monday evening.
We are ordering junior schol-
astic to use for social science
studies second semester. The
children are loong forward to
studying these.
First and Second Grade
The first and second grade
has started reading in their pri-
mers. The stories are more in-
teresting to us beause we're learn'
ing more new words. We. are
sorry to have Randy Jarvis ab-
sent and hope he is well and
back in school this week. It is
hard to catch up when we miss
a day and we are glad that few
of us have been absent this year.
The second grade has begun
to think abou.t all the helpers
in our community. We started
with those who carry messages
such as post offices and news-
papers. We have a play post-
office in our room with play
money and stamps. The post
master gets to cancel, stamp
and write postmarks on each
letter mailed. His job is a very
attractive one so we are learn-
in to take turns. We have some
good mail carriers to deliver
the mail, too. .
We are also making posters as
we read our health book, "Grow-
ing day by day." We have one
on what makes a good breakfast,
how often to brush our teeth,
and when to eat candy and how
to play safely on the playgrounds.
Oak Grove School News
We are happy to be back in
school after a weeks Christmas
vacation.
Each of us had a part in our
Christmas program and in decor-
atlng our tree which James Net-
tles brought us from their farm.
Most all of our families were
present at the program. Santa
%alked to us, asked us what we
wanted for Christmas, why we
celebrated Christmas, and handed
t many nice gifts including
sacks of candy, apples and
oranges.
We were sorry to lose Teddy
and rimmy O'Donnell when they
moved to Stillwater.
The engagementj of Marilyr!
McKaughan (a graduate of Oak i
Grove) to Larry Ham was an-
nounced recently. I
We were sorry to read of the I
death of Mrs. Loren Gray (Retha I
Joan Baker) who was a former II
student of Oak Grive. I
Our teacher. Mrs. Clark and her !
husband won a nice television
lamp during the Merchants draw-
ig at Stillwater before Christ-
mas.
M2rs. O¢ PAggs, mother of
R. B. Riggs is seriously ill in the
Stillwater hospital.
John Elliott's father surprised
them flying from California for
a visit, the first in 16 years.
After tdng our semester tests
this week, we found that Bobby
Nunn and Danny McKey tied for
first place on the honor roll and
Darrell and David Aynes tied
for second place. Several others
made grades almost high enough
for the honor roll. Better luck
next time! Bobby Nunn made
the most headmarks in spelling
this six weeks and Billy Human
was a close second.
Our January parents meeting
will be Thursday Evening, Jart-
uary I0 at 8 p. m. Films ill be
shown on the projector. Refresh-
ments will be served Mrs. Anglley
