Mr. Thompson showed them how to make sausages and hamburgers with a big machine. He also showed them the parts of a cow, which some people thought was very interesting. At the bakery he showed the Kindergartens how to slice bread, and how to make doughnuts with a machine, and then a lady showed them how to put jam in doughnuts. After that, the lady showed the Kindergartens how to make boxes and tie up bags. They each received a doughnut, but the honey-dipped doughnut was enjoyed the most. BY ELENA SCHYFF AND ERIN MITCHELL The Gr. 4s are taking apart a typewriter. There are many screws and parts. So far they have the front and the back and front off. They are starting to take apart the insides of the typewriter, and it looks fascin­ ating. Each afternoon Johan and a helper take out different parts of the typewriter with a screw driver and a pair of pliers. They’ve taken out the roller, bell, screws and many more tinyparts, andthere are many springs and bolts in the typewriter. Operation “Reming­ ton” is neat! BY KATIE RO WBOTHAM AND JENNIFER BROWN Every Friday during the months of Dec., Jan., Feb., and Mar. the Parent Association arrange for five different mothers to come in every week to prepare hot dogs for Grey Central staff and students. . During their two hour stay every Friday, the volunteer mothers prepare the hot dogs, deliver them to the classrooms, and they clean up afterwards. The pupils pay 40 cents each for the hot dogs and the Parent’s Association amanges the finances. At the end of the season each person gets a free hot dog from the profit. Much thanks to Mrs. Alexander for making the relish, Mrs. Starkey and Mrs. Gottfired for picking up the buns, and to the many others who came in and prepared the hot dogs.
