THE STORY OF DEBORAH 5 



Jan. '07. Took the part of Mrs. Doe in "Fun 

 in a Photograph Gallery." 



Feb. '08. Can write a fairly good story, but spells 

 very few words. Has little idea of the use of capitals.

 she does quite nicely. In clay modeling, her idea of

 she has made a carved book rest with mission ends 

 and is now working on a shirtwaist box with mortise 

 and tenon joints and lap joints. The top will be 

 paneled. She can do most of her own marking 

 when shown how. 



Has made a great improvement in "Band" during 

 the last year. Can get a better tone on the cornet 

 and more volume. Reads by note all music that she

 her work, and has been a good girl. In wood carving 

 she is doing much more careful work than last year. 



Has made a large "Skolcroft" chair with only a little
