Write About School
(Notes The following have been
selected by faculty members of
Intermediate School as some of
the outstanding writings of pupils
in various grades.)
WHAT I LIKE BEST
ABOUT SCHOOL
By Robbie Dingier
I like arithmetic best because
it helps you with your school
work. You will have arithmetic
till you get out of school. Also,
arithmetic is fun if you can do it
well.
I like spelling also. It helps
you spell your words right and
you make better grades. You have
to learn to spell or you won't
pass.
Webb Has Data
For Widows
And Veterans
There is a May 1, 1965, dead-
line for war veterans and their
widows who may want to benefit
from provisions of the system
modified in 1960.
A reminder of this was sound-
ed Tuesday by Lyndon Webb,
Winkler County veterans service
officer with offices in the Com-
munity Center.
Webb said numbers of veterans
and widows drawing non-service
connected pensions did not change
to the new plan due to the fact
once off the new plan they were
not eligible to go back to the old
system.
Webb will explain the new sys-
tem to any veteran or widow call-
ing upon him.
I like language too. Language
helps you learn to write letters.
You might write your grand-
mother. If you don't learn lan-
guage when you go someplace
you won't know how to write
well.
SCHOOL DAYS
By Cynthia Ann Kanady
Do you know why we have
school? It is to help you read.
It helps you to be friends with
other people. In school you learn
to write and you learn about math.
School is fun for me and you,
too. We like our teachers in
school. We are very thankful for
schools.
WHAT I LIKE BEST
ABOUT SCHOOL
By Videl Velasquez
What I like best in school are
my friends and teacher. I like to
read books and to make good
grades. I like to go to P.E.
or music. I like school because
I can learn to study more and
read well. I like to make friends
with other boys. I like to learn
about maps. Arithmetic is what
I like best of all or spelling.
I like to draw pictures or I
like to color pictures. I like to
spell words right and make 100
on a test. That's all that I like
in school.
Use a wooden spoon when you
are stirring a mixture that is
cooking on top of the range; some
cooks like to use the spoon to
form figure eight as they stir to
make sure the entire mixture is
blended.
WHAT I LIKE BEST
ABOUT SCHOOL
By Estela Aguirre
What I like best about school
is that we do work. And at home
we just have to sit, sit, sit. An-
other thing I like best about
school is that we have work to
do in our seats. We keep busy in
school all day. And I like school
because we learn everything from
school. And we study about the
earth and about the moon and
sun. And we learn how to read.
We study about maps and learn
how to find cities on maps and
how to find countries on maps.

Dignity--But
This is for the modern executive — impressively right but
never stodgy. The atmosphere of action — clean, functional
design; alert colors harmonized into a relaxing whole.
This is a power plant for executive efficiency. No clutter,
but every paper, chart, reference material within arm’s
reach — organized for decisions. From the conference-type
desk to the matching credenzas and the body-comfort
chairs, a truly amazing variety of finishes and fabrics allow
the executive to express his personality.
