24 THE CLIFTONIAN EIGHTH GRADE A great many things have occurred in the eighth grade this year to make it one of the most interesting of our school life. Although we have worked hard toward passing examinations and preparing for high school we have had many other events which have also helped to make the grade a success. In the contest which was held in the fall for P. T. A. membership we won by a large margin over our nearest rivals. Everyone plunged in and worked and the result was that we were presented with a beautiful picture. The satisfaction of winning, however, seemed to please us most. We all received a real thrill out of our first assembly program. A short pageant written by the class, entitled “The Land of Literature,” was well received by the audience. This was accompanied by several other short readings and dialogues. Regents examinations, which came after Christmas vacation, are never to be forgotten. Before the time arrived to take them we were very nervous and our hearts felt funny every time we thought of them. But our fears were for naught, as we had no failures in either Arithmetic or Spelling and our average in these subjects was 91 and 93% respectively. Soon after Regents another picture adorned our walls. This was won in a contest for selling the largest number of tickets for the Elson Art Exhibit. The picture is a beautiful one called “A Reading From Homer” and was painted by Alma Tadema. Several of our pupils took part in the program of the exhibit by portraying pictures of famous artists. In our second assembly program we thought that we had a hard task. But we found that it was not so difficult when everyone works together as our grade does. In this program several short plays were presented including “The Shutting O’ the Door,” “A Delicate Operation,” and “Educating to a Purpose.” A reading “Necks” was given by Robert Haubner and one entitled a “Parody on Barbara Frietchie” by Doris Costello. Five girls, including Lucy Roth, Lorraine Kauderer, Mary Tomlinson, Jean Vanderhoof and Doris Costello, have earned Final Certificates awarded by the A. N. Palmer Company. Victoria Clark earned the Improvement Certificate given by the same company. Our half holiday was spent by having a hike and weiner roast and what a glorious time we had. The eighth grade class officers for the year were: President, George Cost; Vice-President, Roderic Leland; Treasurer, Burton Webb; Secretary, Clara Wright. We will not soon forget the good times we have had in the eighth grade and all we can do is to wish that next year will be as good. The school year has been one which we can remember and we hope the rest will be just as happy. THE CLASS ANOTHER HONOR FOR EIGHTH GRADE The banner awarded by Miss Woodruff to the grade rating the highest for the year in morning health inspections, was won by the eighth grade. Inspection was for general cleanliness, condition of teeth, nails, etc. 4-H On March 20th a few of the girls of the sixth grade started a 4-H Club with the help of Miss Jones, our teacher. The members of the club are: Doris Goodman, Helen Joyce, Violet Kless, Irene Lannon, Mary Virginia Miller, Edith Kauder, Elaine Moran, Evelyn Chalker, Betty Sommers, Lucile Shantz, Evelyn DeCann and Lois Snell. We have had suppers at the school. We made posters. We gave a supper for Miss Woodruff, so that she might see our posters. A few weeks ago there was a rally for 4-H members. Some of our 4-H girls went. We also have had a bake sale. V. K.
