Pupils of the Sutton school in Northfield township decided this winter they needed more than theory in their social and science studies, so, with the aid of their teacher, Gertrude A. Doorn, they have built up the model farm yard shown above. And to make it more realistic, Norene Denune, shown at the right, has brought in a pen of live baby chicks. Other pupils shown above are Esther Maulbetsch, left, a first grader; Harry Clement, jr., a second grader, and Ernest Honke, an eighth grader. All children in the school worked on the project.

SCRAP GRIST FOR THE STEEL MILLS: Henry Chamberlain, of Webster township's Boyden school on Jennings Rd., just off Joy Rd., drives a tractor hauling a load of scrap metal collected by the pupils. The older pupils have been combing the surrounding farms to collect such things as old silo-filters and iron wagon wheels, according to their teacher, Miss Gertrude A. Doorn, who adds: "The rural schools are in the scrap, too."
