Pupils from Class "Z" at Northside Elementary School look over the gaily-colored mural which they and their classmates constructed last week. The ungraded class, composed of seven and eight-year olds, was given the assignment to depict their own houses and front yards on paper. Houses and trees were fashioned from cut paper, while the children used crayon and chalk to finish the pictures. Mrs. Barbara Heers, classroom teacher, and Mrs. Margo Engelmann, art instructor, said the assignment was part of the class' social studies unit teaching the children about maps, their own neighborhoods, and the city of Ann Arbor. "The children worked very well together," said Mrs. Heers, "and they are anxious for future projects." The artists are, left to right, Debbie Frey, Barbara Peters, Jay Gause and Jon Daley.

This baby owl should be quite a wise old owl when it grows up, if going to school means anything to the bird family. It was found about two weeks ago on an Albion farm, apparently having fallen out of a tree. Brought to Ann Arbor by Mrs. Donald Abbott (left) of 939 Greenwood, it now is caged in Mrs. Abbott's room of fourth and fifth graders in Northside School. Joan E. Dolfin of 1507 Ottawa and James A. Grob of 1803 Upland are shown helping Waldo (nicknamed Wally by the students) with his studies. It is a great horned owl, about eight weeks old, and is fed raw beef kidney and pork liver.
