Roosevelt Students Engaged
in Pre-Christmas Activities

Roosevelt School pupils have a variety of activities in progress for the few weeks of school remaining before vacation and the holidays.

In the high school and elementary library a novel calendar has been devised for the month of December. A large box cut from cardboard and wrapped with holiday papers and ribbon has the month abbreviated with "Dec.". At another corner of the box a detachable date is affixed.

Another innovation this year is the Christmas window with crispy white curtains and black window frame established in one of the library windows. Here, teachers and students are invited to place various kinds of woodwork, embroidery, unusual Christmas gift suggestions and holiday decorations that can be made at home.

Later, this same window will be used for showing books which would make good Christmas gift suggestions.

Social studies class of Miss Gladys Boyington has been studying natural resources of the Upper Peninsula. They donated their display for the use of the Garden Club Monday night.
