Five home games and four away have been scheduled for the basketball team. Officials for games are scarce and regular rehearsals have not started. Attendance in school is exceptionally good with fewer absences and tardies. A damaged merry go round shaft was cracked off, delaying playground repairs. A severe wind storm last summer caused further damage.

The report covers students returning from flu, absences, art projects like clown and wigwam crafts, fruit baskets, and classroom stories on Indians. Sixth to eighth graders note visiting speakers, defense stamps fund total, literature notebooks, ocean trips, patriotic songs, a new globe, and dictionary lessons with local visitors and families mentioned.
