6th Grade Book

These are the scans of the 6th grade book. Note that this book was silkscreened, so some of the text is blobby or faded. In addition, it was printed using multi-colored inks on brown 'shopping bag' paper, so some work needed to be done to recover as much information as possible. A couple of examples of what I had to work with are below:

Some of these were songs sung to the tune of "Eleanor Rigby". It appears that there were other themes suggested, 'The Storm' being one, and 'Conscience' being another. 'King Clieno' would seem to be a reference to the teacher, Mr. McLean.
