Twenty-two first graders at John Allen Elementary School, as part of their study of China, ate a sample Chinese meal with chopsticks this week. Their teacher, Mrs. Marion Krause, decided to give the youngsters this unusual learning experience when Mrs. James Chu (shown in the background, above), mother of one of the children in the class, volunteered to help with the project. Mike O'Boyle (at right) shows utter disbelieve that even the Chinese manage to eat with chopsticks as he valiantly tries to pick up his food with the strange instruments. Sitting next to him is John Kostishak, who seems to be doing well at mastering the art. The children added to the flavor of the occasion by fashioning hats as an art project.
