Fifth Grade
A new girl joined our grade. Her name is Genevieve Danielson.
Florian Rumreich, Lawrence Benson, Roy Gish and William Newton are going to start work with the A class in arithmetic.
We wrote original poems in English. These are the best ones:
When Thanksgiving day is here,
And the day is full of cheer,
Why does the turkey come near?
Kenneth Hermanson
Thanksgiving day is very near
Thanksgiving day brings right good cheer
We have turkey and pumpkin pie
Which you like, and so do I
Floyd Milsten
Thanksgiving day is here
O, pumpkin you should fear
That we would make a pie of you
If you were very near,
—Clarence Strand
Thanksgiving comes but once a year
And every one is full of cheer.
—Targie Iverson.
God gave you clothes and shelter
As he did for me
To care for you and love you
Right tenderly
I hope we're all as thankful
As we ought to be.
Gail Frannea.
Thanksgiving day is here
The day that we give praise
For the harvest of the year
And for the golden maize
—Galena Natvig
Thanksgiving will soon be here
Everyone is full of cheer
Turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie
You'll enjoy it, and so will I.
-Joyce Priske
Little Pilgrim brothers
Dressed in home-spun, too
Did you like the farming
That you used to do?
Did you seed the wheat
For your bread to eat?
Did you like your lessons.
Did you find them hard?
And the number card?
Did you study reading?
Little Pilgrim brothers
I would like to say
That I think a lot of you
This truly do I say
Your pictures are for me,
And I bless our Lord for thee.
-Hilaria Otremba.
