French Creek No.1, Margaret Larson, teacher

Our sixth month of school was completed on February 22 with a 100% attendance for the month.

We have an enrollment of 10 pupils. Five of these have attained a perfect attendance record for the year thus far. Their names are Arla, Johanna and Lewis Ebner, Ruth and William Welper.

The members of the eighth grade are busily engaged in the task of reviewing for their county examinations to be given in May. We wish them success in their efforts.

Willard Verthein received an average of 100% in arithmetic for the last period of six weeks, having had perfect daily grades and also gaining a 100% mark on his examination.

During the past month we have observed St. Valentine's Day, Lincoln's Birthday and Washington's Birthday.

Miss Dorothy Leppert was an afternoon visitor at our school on St. Valentine's Day.

At the present time there are four pupils who have their names on the Dental Honor Roll. They are Arlene Ashbacher, Arla, Johanna and Charles Ebner.
