ST. MARY’S ACADEMY NOTES Grade One. We were all delighted to see our little class-mate, Bill Froelich, return. He has been attending school in Chica go the past three months. Last Tuesday we had a test in “Number Work” and all the pupils did very nicely. Bernard McNamara received 100 per cent; Richard Davis 100 per cent; Joseph Urlaub 100 per cent; James Golden 100 per cent; Kathleen McDermott 100 per cent; Leona Hamilton 100 per cent; William Kelly 1)8 per cent; Edward Campbell 98 per cent; Mary Melior 95 per cent; Lou Birmingham 95 per cent; Eugene McDermott 95 per cent; PatricaO’Don. nell 92 per cent. Grade Two. Last Friday Rev. J. II. Ostdiek, Diocesan Superintendent of Public Schools, visited our class room during religious instruction. Father congrat ulated the little boys and girls and sai«! that he was surprised to receive such intelligent answers from little children. He remarked, too, that the children of the O’Neill community were unusually responsive. Tuesday afternoon we all enjoyed • nakii g pretty little baskets and filling them with bright co'oi ; dowers Third ami Fourth Grades. About two w'eeks ago, we sent our papers to the Palmer Company for their approval to receive our buttons. We were all happy when the pink and yellow slips returned, telling us that twenty-two of the class had written the muscular movement way. Those who receive a merit button are: Marion Brandon, Mary Ann Casey, Mary Helen Martin, Matilda Peter, Constance Golden, Paul Kubits chek, John Harty, Alfred McNamara, William O’Connell and Robert Schendt. The Palmer buttons are for: Leona Bazelman, Corinne Kubitschek, Dor othy Lowery, Dorothy Davidson, Wini fred Coyne, Lorraine Agnes, Mary Hickey, Vincent Streeter, Claude Ham ilton, Robert Novratil, Dominic Kub ik and John Stein. Last Thursday we invited Sister Alexis to be the judge for our fourth grade reading contest. We were di vided into three groups and each one of the group had. to read a part of a story. After all had read, three of the best readers who were Sheila Bar rett, Alfred McNamara and Paul Kub itschek were again called upon to read poems and other parts of stories. It was rather hard to decide which one would be called the most natural reader, until linally, Paul Kubitschek seemed to make us understand the best the poem, ‘‘The Man of the House.” The following grades were given: Group 1: Alfred McNamara 98, Mary Helen Martin 9G, 'Matilda Peter and Mary Ann Casey 94, Robert Schendt 86. Group 2: Paul Kubitschek 99, William O’Connell (known as Doc) 96, John Reinhardt 92, Rita Reinhardt 89, Constance Golden 80. Group 8: Sheila Barrett 97, John Harty and John Morrison 96, Marion Brandon 70. Next Tuesday the Third grade will have their reading contest and it will be an exciting time until we have the name of the winner. Grades Five and Six. MERRY-GO-ROUNI). Personals. Mother Superior honored us with her presence at our Holy Childhood meeting which was held Tuesday, April 24. This meeting was called to order by the president, Catherine Finley, and the secretarry, George Hammond,called roll, read the minutes of the last meet ing and also read the financial state ments recorded by the treasurer, Wm. Biglin, who was absent on account of illness. The speakers for this ocasion were June Carol White, Eileen Kelly, Rob ert Kelly, Robert Moore and Edward McManus. Before the meeting was adjourned, Mother was asked to say a few words to the members of the Club. She told us that she was highly pleased with the way we conducted our meeting, and that she had something more than just “advice” to give us. Mother also commented on the sincerity of all the members. In conclusion, Mother prom ised us a treat in the form of a “hike” on the first nice day in May. She said that we deserved it on account of our diligence and good behavior during the year. Thank you, Mother Claver, very, very much. We shall certainly enjoy the day, more so becau e it came from you. Mary Ann Meer, Catherine Finley, Catherine McNichols, William Kubit schek. Dale Kersenbroek, George Ham mond, Francis Hickey and. Donald Wei nke received 100 per cent in the arithmetic test for April. Pale Kersenbroek, George Hammond, Owen Hiattt, Donald Lowrey, John Shoemaker, Robert Miles, Robert Moore, Mary Catherine Finley, Alice Hamilton, Vera Coyne, Constance Big lin, Dorothy Valla and Catherine Mc Nichols have joined the list of the “Great Geography Map Makers.” The Fifth and Sixth grades were divided into seven groups receiving the names of the following schools: St. Mary’s, Emmet, Atkinson, Stuart, Inman, Ewing and Rage. These schools competed with one another in spelling, and the winner of the first place was Catherine McNichols and Eileen Kelly second place, both of St. Mary’s. The first day after this competition, each pupil represented a certain county in Nebraska; .these counties competed for a World Herald winner. Holt county’s representative, Catherine McNichols was the lucky winner of this contest. Next week the pupils represent states, and. a Wash ington champion speller will be chosen. The “hike” given us by Mother Claver was taken Wednesday, May 2, and a very pleasant time was had by all. Games of all kinds were played, and then, after lunch, visits were made to the most famous places in the vic inity. We did some daring mountain climbing to the summits of Mt. Roose velt and Mt. O’Neill in the Sand Cliff Mountains. Last, but not least, we paid a visit to the graves of our dear departed, breathed a prayer for them, and then wended our way homeward, —happy, but, oh! so tired. Births und Deaths. A piece of chalk was severely hurt when it fell to the floor while working at arithmetic problems at the black board. It was rushed to the hospital at once, where a thorough examin ation revealed a crushed skull. Little hopes are entertained for its recovery. Obituary notice next week—if desired.
