Last Friday, April 25th was Arbor and Bird Day in the state of Illinois. The 1st grade class of Mrs. LeRoy Anderson observed the day by planting a flowering crab tree. The twenty-one children of the class took turns digging the hole in which the tree was plant¬ ed. After tbe planting, a rock in¬ scribed "Grade I, 4-26-69" was placed at the base of the tree. Tho tree will flower each spring.
The tree planting is part of the beaufification- of the program at Deicke Park. Tlie tree was plant¬ ed in the main picnic area in the southwest comer of the park, atop a hill overlooking w*hat someday will be a lake. Mrs. Anderson hopes to make this an annual event for her first grade classes. Mrs. AndCTson conceived the idea of planting the trees on Arbor Day  and received the  pertnission
of both the School Board and Park Board to plant the tree at the Deicke Park.
