Then you won't believe what I got. What you get? I got inoculation and hypodermics. Woo! You really must have went through a rough time. Poor guy. Boy, I sure did. I thought I'd never pull through that spelling test. Thank you. Thank you. This is called Milk in the Picture Trick. Hey, man, I'm thirsty. Can we drink it? Chocolate milk or white? Well, what does it look like? Hey, I'm thirsty. Right. Now, I'm going to make a cone out of this paper right here. Now...
Ice cream cone. Now, as you can see, I'm just folding it over like this. Now, we take my milk pitcher like this, and we start to pour, and now we just pour just Just a little bit. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Just a little too much. Gotta get rid of this milk. Hey, I'll drink it. I'll drink it. It's back in here. Gotta get rid of this milk somewhere. Don't look at me. I'll drink it. Can I drink it? I think I'm gonna get rid of this milk. Ah! Ah! Oh, wow! Many deaf people use sign language, and some of us wanted to learn. So I invited a girl from my hometown, Jean Common, who's deaf,
to teach us and be with us in the studio. We're gonna roll out the barrel and to find out what's inside today. Here's an idea for a barrel from Wally Breitsk of Gary, Indiana. Since I don't know enough sign to tell Jean, I'm gonna turn to her so she can read my lips. Lie on your back and put your legs straight up in the air and don't bend your knees. Then put a ball on your feet and bounce it there and try to throw a ball into it. Good luck. Don't do it. Gene, don't do it. Get your feet even. Yeah, all right! He did it. Let me try. I got to, Marshall. Do it at Gene, all right? I'll do that. Oh, my God. We're high!
Ho-ho! Will you? Yeah. Oh, thanks for biting it. Feet straight. Straight, straight. Hey, don't bend your knees dry, huh? Hurray! How do you say our names? Our names. C-O-M-M-Y-C-A-T-E-C-I-S-C-E-Y. Do you know the alphabet? Yeah. Could you show us? A-B-C-C-E-F-C-A-I-J-K-L-M-M-R-T-Q-R-L-T-E-E-W-X-Y-Z. Can we, can we try? Okay.

Where do you live? All right, let's see. Where do you live? Live, like that. Is there numbers for sign language? Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Oh, it's different. It can have threes like that. Um, how do you say, let's see, um, I like school, you go, is, how do you say like, you go, I, I, I, how do you say like, like, like, like, like, like, oh, so I like school, how do you say, um, happy birthday, like, happy birthday, All right, you go happy, you go happy, happy, happy birthday. I hope to see you again.
Thank you. Thank you for visiting. Thank you very much. Do-a-zoom-doo, do-a-zoom-doo, do-a-zoom-doo. These weavings here are called God Size. Some kids sent us the idea on how to make them. They're kind of fun to make. First you take two sticks or, you know, any straws or anything like that. Then you take the yarn and you put it in the middle. Then you go around and over to the next one, and around, and over to the next one. And around, and over to the next one. And around, and over to the next. You keep on doing this for a while. Then, if you want to add another color, all you have to do is cut the yarn and then add the other yarn that you want,
the other color yarn that you want. Tie it, and then you just keep on going. And you You shouldn't go under, you know. You should always go over, because if you go under, it'll make a weird shape, like it won't turn out the same. And after a while, it'll start to get this kind of shape, like a diamond. After you make one, and then you try to make another one, they won't look the same. They'll look different all the time. Hi, I'm Topher King, this is my friend Josh Boleyn, we're practicing wrestling. The object of wrestling is to pin the other kid, which is both shoulder blades down on
the mat like this there are lots of different moves that you can do before you pin the kid like this one he's got me in the half Nelson which helps pin both men and wrestling start standing up and they're gonna and we're gonna try to do a move which is called the double leg takedown which is to try to get the other guy down on the mat like this if you don't know what you're doing in wrestling you could hurt yourself or the other kid so I suggest before you start wrestling you better have some lessons Mr. Dallas is my wrestling coach before each class we do a whole lot of warm-ups which help our body get in shape for learning the moves.
Wrestling can make you stronger if you really use your muscles. If you don't, it might not help at all. If you feel good, you might do an extra warm-up just because you're happy. Dallas, I'm getting seasick. Is this good? Remember that the important thing is you want to take... Mr. Dawes teaches us a new move every other class. ...point is. He's just like a table. Two points here, two points here. If I take this one out, I'll push him that way. If I take this one out, I'll push him that way. If I take this one out, over that way. But this time, we're going to take out this one. Near arm. All I'm going to do is just pull this arm in like this, and I'm just going to pull him down like that. Okay, now this opens up a lot of options because look at his arm. What's going to go in here?
Time. Half Nelson. Yeah. What's it called? Half Nelson. Sure. Boom. Right in there like that. Okay. We ready? All right. Here we go. One. Two. When Mr. Dow shows us a new move, it seems pretty easy, but when you do it on your opponent who is resisting, it's a lot harder. Spin, spin, spin, get behind. I'm not trying to hurt Josh, but I'm just trying to get the holds on him so I can learn more about wrestling. there are lots and lots of moves and holds in wrestling but if i knew half of them i would consider myself as one of the greatest wrestlers that i ever heard of
let me check your fingernails about every week during wrestling season my school has a meet with another school who's my opponent i can't remember his name but he's gonna be just yeah he'll be tough he weighs two pounds more than you you're 65 all right he's 67 all right the main thing to do is try not to be nervous to the point that you can't remember your home before me my coach well he cheers me up and gets me excited about my match and if i'm nervous he tries to calm me down okay go in there you get the takedown that makes all the difference in the world right okay good luck Wrestling is better for smaller people because they can control their bodies more. You get points for escaping from holds and getting the other kid into holds.
Sometimes you can get hurt during wrestling, but there's not really a cure for it. You have to keep going. The yelling and the cheering from my team doesn't really help because I'm doing this myself. When I'm wrestling, my mind goes swirling. I'm really afraid that I might lose or I'm happy that I might win. It's you yourself wrestling alone. Have you ever tried to make salad at home? Well, Kathy Ladd of Whittier, California, sent us a Zoom cookie called Apple Salad. What you do is you take some sliced apples and put it in a bowl.
And you take one slice stock of celery. Make sure it's all chopped up, too. Boy, this looks good. Then chop up three walnuts and add one teaspoon of raisins. You mix it all together and add two tablespoons of mayonnaise. Then add two tablespoons of shredded or Swiss cheese. Doesn't matter. Add a little salt and pepper. And you mix it all together. and put it on your lettuce.
And serve it to your family. It tastes great. If you'd like to make some apple salad for yourself, we have a Zoom card with the recipe on it. Just... And as usual, please include a saisy with your request for the Zoom card. That's a self-addressed stamped envelope. Play ball. Strike. Hey, let me see that ball. That's not a ball, it's an orange. An orange? Son of a gun. An orange throwing pitcher. Does he do this often? I mean, throw oranges. Well, I've never seen him do it before. Must be one of his new pitchers. Well, he's not gonna get away with it in this league or game. I'll just have to give him another ball. Batter up.
It's an apple? An apple? He's gotta run out of fruit sometime. Here, I'll give him another ball. batter up well what is it this time it's a wild peach oh gee i've had enough of this every time i give him a piece a ball he gives me a piece of fruit he hasn't got the best of me yet come here give me that bat yeah a banana play ball there's zoom i was born in the country of ghana in west africa when we visit af when we visit america i enjoyed watching zoom and now that we're back in africa i miss watching your show very much there isn't very good television here but there are wild animals my mother's friend and even has a leopard at the back of her garden.
It's really exciting to live here. Love, Andrea Keolet of Nairobi, Kenya. Oh, here goes a good one. Dear Zoom, I may be a little too old to belong to your club. I hope I'm not intruding at the age of 76. Why? But I watch your show almost every week and I enjoy it immensely. Yours truly, Harry P. Larson of Oak Park, Illinois. Wow! Here's a letter sent in by Susan Marm of Berrien Springs, Michigan. Dear Zoom, when I was in the hospital in Chicago, I could see the Sears Tower through my window. It's the tallest building in the world and has a blinking light on top of it. I counted 12 blinks in a minute, then multiplied the minutes into hours, days, weeks, months, and finally I figured that in a year the light blinks, 6,307,200 times. Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.
You all know why we came here today, and it's because we love the Lord and we'd like to share it with everybody here. Our story today will be about the beginning. At the beginning of the earth, There was nothing, there was just nothing at all. You and me weren't even here. Was there a moon? No, there wasn't even a moon. My name is Jackie Joyner. My religion is Baptist. And I guess it's the most important thing in my life right now. I spend a lot of my time at church and a lot of my time with church activities. May we pray together. Today, in the spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving,
we come just to say thank you for all that you've done. Amen. I want to serve you some rice, some mushrooms. I think it's really through all my family, especially my parents, that I've gotten so involved in Baptist religion. When I was two weeks old, my parents carried me to church for the first time. And so I think I've really gotten the habit or I've caught the disease of going to church all the time, just wanting to go. What do you think would be the hardest thing on a missionary in a foreign country? I think it'd be exciting. You get to meet new people and tell them about things. People always have trouble deciding what to do. Once a week I go to a meeting of a group which is called Act Two. I like communicating with people too
and I think that would be real good. The Baptist religion sends many missionaries all over the world. One of the things that we do in our group is to study about all the missionaries and their work. Go home for Sunday dinner every Sunday. So I thought if you were interested in doing a larger project, we could work and maybe each of you bring in at least $15. We'd have enough to buy a cement mixer and maybe a few bags of cement to go with it. This is hard. Just think how many more we gotta wash. We have different work projects that we do to raise money for the missionaries. I really enjoy the work projects because it makes you really feel good because you would think that you're helping a missionary and the missionary can help other people. Oh, Leslie, right on my foot.
It's really a nice feeling to know that all your friends care that much. We've grown close together through the years by praying and by just trusting each other. Dear God, thank you for letting us all come here together today and be with all the people that are sick and be with especially all the missionaries. Dear Lord, help us today and help us tonight as we all come to worship in your place and help Tom as he directs the choir and help Brother Stroud. Under an eastern sky When I'm in church, it helps me to know that I'm safe and that I can just depend on the
Lord in helping me through school and everything else. When I'm sitting there singing in the choir, it's really a good feeling just inside. I guess it's sort of cold and it feels sort of good and refreshing. There weren't any flowers or trees or houses or anything. I would like to do missionary work when I grow up. I just think that it's very important to help other people that are in need, that you aren't the only person in the world and your community is not the only place. He decided he would make a man. And y'all know what the man's name was? Adam, Adam, that's right.
That's right. Do you want to see some picture words? Well, we got a whole package of them from some kids from Lensinburg, New York. A picture word is just fish. Yeah, that's one. And it was sent in by Pam Perkins. Laugh by Donna Miller. Dive by Billy Garrow. Smoke by John McNamara. Pencil by Karen Teeling. Cold by Ralph Chiaffi. Hair by David Reynolds. America by Paul Higgett. Elephant by John Smith. Freckles by Susan M. Lee. Strength by Nancy Curie. If you can come up with some picture words of your very own, just put it in an envelope and... Lots of people have written to us and asked us to do
Please, Mr. Postman, including Lynn Snyder of Howell, New Jersey. Dear Zoom, how about Please, Mr. Postman? But each time they say letter in the song, you can say Zoom card instead. Okay, Lynn, you're about to see the strangest-looking postman that has ever delivered a Zoom card. Stop, oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman. Wait, wait, Mr. Postman. Please, Mr. Postman, look and see. Oh, yeah. If there's a Zoom card in the back for me Please, please, Mr. Postman I've been waiting for such a long time Oh, yeah, I haven't gotten that Zoom card of mine There must be a Zoom card today From Zoom, so far away Please, Mr. Postman, look and see If there's a Zoom card, a Zoom card for me I've been standing here waiting, Mr. Postman So, oh, oh, patiently For just a card, a just a Zoom card, saying Zoom is written back to me.
Yes, girl, you've been standing there waiting for the postman. You stood there today, so patiently. But it seems, girl, yes, it seems to me that you forgot to send the saisy. Oh, Mr. Postman, now I see. Oh, yeah, I forgot to send the saisy. Mr. Postman, I've been waiting such a long time. Oh, yeah. Because there's a saisy in that letter of mine. So if you want to write to Zoom, and you want an answer soon, be sure to put a stamp on your saisy, and you will get an answer in daisy. Girl, if you wanna send something to Zoom, and you'd like to answer real soon, include a self-addressed stamped envelope called a Stacey, and you'll get answer in that.
We've gotta send a Stacey, send a Stacey. A self-addressed stamped envelope. Send a Stacey, send a Stacey. Oh yeah, Mr. Po-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
