Excerpt from The Archive, Vol. 59: September, 1945 Clara went through several other problems with the Class. At ten thirty She announced that they might put away their papers and pencils. There was a slight commotion in the room as desks were Opened and then closed, someone whispered across the aisle, then there was silence again. Clara looked across her desk down the rows of smaller desks in front of her and at the little hands clasped together on top of each. We'll be able to go out doors today, Clara said and in a moment the sound of feet and laughter mingled on the stairs. Opening a closet, Clara picked up a ball and followed the children to the playground. At eleven o'clock the third grade returned to the classroom - a laugh ing, chattering group not quite as clean and tidy as it had been a half hour earlier. The children entered the room still talking about the game that they had played during recess. A few took their seats immediately, but most of them gathered around the little garden, exclaiming when at last the turtle crawled into view from be hind a stone. Judy stood beside the closet while Clara put the ball away. When she had closed the door, Judy smiled timidly and asked, Do you like my new dress, Miss Anderson? Clara assured her that she thought it a very pretty blue dress. Judy smiled, a little more confidently this time, and said that she had just got ten it yesterday and that she liked it better than any of her other dresses.
