BUNCHE PARK SCHOOL
The 2nd grade classes of Bunche
Park Elementary School visited
the Junior Art Museum Monday,
February 9. At the museum, the
children learned something about
the customs of Indians—from
primitive days to our modern
era. After a tour of the museum
the children were treated to
cookies and cold drinks. They re
ported an interesting and infor
mative time.
Girl Scout “Thinking Day" was
a great success. The affair held at
Carver High in Coconut Grove,
was largely attended. Troop 162
of Bunche Park presented a Ha
waiian Dance in this "Inter
national Festival."
The 6th grade classes visited
the weather bureau Friday, Feb

by all and was informative as

or “Why Teachers Die Young."

trouble was soon straightened
out.
