“Where Everybody Sings” We wish to thank Mr. Pliva and Mr. Dettrich for the two mulberry and four pecan trees that they have transplanted on our school yard. We were glad to have so many visitors at our Valentine party last Friday afternoon. We surely did enjoy the refreshments that were served by Mrs. Dettrich, Mrs. O. B. Fenner and Hazel and Wilma Budd. We are very sorry to see Olga and George Barecky move to Hallettsville. We surely do miss them. Mrs. Verna K. Harper came to see us Monday afternoon. We are always glad to have her visit us. The Choral Club held its second meeting Sunday evening at 7:45 o’clock at the Lower Cordele school house. Of course we knew that everyone in Cordele could sing, but we did not know until Sunday that Wilma and Clara Lee Budd could play a violin; that Olga, George and Oswald Barecky could plan an accordion and that Henry Dettrich could play a guitar. If you have never heard Mrs. J. D. Fenner sing, you do not realize what a pleasure you have missed. Floyd Larkin says he knows very little about Spanish verbs, but he surely can sing Spanish songs with Mrs. Louis Watson and Miss Ruth Brigham. Eunice Hunt can play “America,” but it takes Margie May Goldman and Junior Jennings to sing it. These three are third grade pupils. Did you know that Mr. Westmoreland could play a cornet? Everyone in the community is invited to join our club. Visitors are cordially invited. So, if you wish to hear Mrs. O. B. Fenner play “Dixie” come to Lower Cordele school house—“where everybody sings.”

The girls of the Cordele 4-H Club met Thursday, March 17th at the Lower Cordele School House. The meeting was called to order by the president; the club pledge and prayer were repeated in unison. The secretary called the roll and each member responded by giving a report of the club work they had done since the last meeting. All of the girls reported having started a garden; one having made her garden plan and four had planted flowers and shrubs. There being no old business for discussion, Miss Louise Bryant was given charge of the meeting. Miss Bryant explained how to keep an accurate account of our productive gardens in our record book, and named the different kind of vegetables we would need to plant so as to have a supply of fresh vegetables daily for the entire year.

Upper Cordele The enrollment of Upper Cordele is nine and their attendance was 100% the day they were visited. They teach the ninth, sixth, third and second grades. Arithmetic was the main interest as they were just having their mathematics classes. All pupils seemed to be very interested in this particular subject. Their art work on Hallowe’en posters was good. They are planning on making bird houses and other creative art object lesson. They expect to work out a sand table project before Christmas. Lower Cordele Lower Cordele has added two or three acres of ground to the play grounds. This was badly needed. They were building some very nice tennis courts, volley ball courts and play ground ball diamonds. Their playgrounds were going to be very attractive. They had a very fine sand table project worked out—an Indian village. Not much could be added to their sand table to make it more complete. This school is doing some outstanding work in community civics. They start in their school room, then their school yard, and then expand to their community. The subject is to be handled in a practical manner. They use odd shaped bottles filled with colored water as a means of decorating their school rooms. The rooms were also decorated with pot plants and holly. The primary room entertained the county superintendent with a folk dance which was very good. The primary room Indian art was good. They also had window boxes filled with beautiful pot plants. There is nothing lacking in enthusiasm and hospitality by the teachers and pupils. They are expecting to organize a troop of Girl Scouts soon. This will give the girls more fine training.
