EIGHTH GRADE HIRTY-FOUR students were registered in September in the eighth grade, with Mrs. Wassink and Mrs. King as teachers. The class in English organized clubs to study magazines, books and learn how to plan and present programs. We also made pages to show uses and forms of the parts of speech and combined them all into a booklet entitleld 'tMy Own Grammerf' For the Christmas season, we made booklets including Christmas carols, customs and poems. We also made a mural depicting the angels and the shepherds at the Hrst Christmas. Our special project for mathematics con- sisted of pages of lines and figures, making patterns and actually making solid geometric forms. In Social Studies we made a detailed study of our government from its early origin in the Magna Carta to our own Constitution, Bill of Rights and the remaining amendments. Early in October we enjoyed a skating party at Findley Lake and just be- fore the Easter holiday, we held a surprise birthday party for Mrs. Wassink. For our assembled program, we presented the one-act play Elmer and the Love-Bug,' directed by our teachers. We also participated in the Christmas program, given by the seventh and eighth grades and high school. Other activities included a campaign for the March of Dimes and an exhibit for Open House. We collected a large sum of money for the March of Dimesf' All of this has prepared us for our new experience of entering high school. SEVENTH GRADE HEN school opened last September there were forty-five students en- tering Junior high school under the capable guidance of Miss Gleason and Mrs. Lookenhouse. Mrs. Damcott taught during the second semester be- cause of the very serious illness of the regular teacher, Mrs. Lookenhouse. An outstanding event was our assembly program when we gave an Easter pageant on the day before Easter vacation. Each person in the grade took part in the program. A new subject, Handwriting, was added to the seventh grade curriculum this year. Although we didn't become expert penmen, much improvement was made and next year we expect to get nearer perfection. s We have especially enjoyed sampling the results when the girls learned to cook in their Homemaking class. Should you ever need good pie makers, we can certainly recommend our seventh grade girls. Coming up to be future basketball stars are Philip Gravink, James Loomis, Ralph Holthouse, Russell Young, Harold VanEarden, Robert Williams, Clif- ford Aikens, and Roger Cooper, who played on the Junior high school squad this year. With the end of the year we Hnd ourselves beginning to realize our re- sponsibilities as Junior high school students and are looking forward to our Senior high school days. 12
