THE VIEWPOINT-l 935-36 25 The Ninth Grade . By Norma Christensen Three outstanding events in one's early life are when he is born, when he enters kindergar- ten and then when he enters jun- ior high. The date of birth is re- quiied for so many records that it is rarely forgotten even among us ninth graders, Some people took casual notice of us as we en- tered tlie kindergarten in 1927 in the College View Schools nineteen strong, sixteen have gone all the way through the C. V. public schools. Forty--five entered the seventh grade at the High School building in 1933 and were noticed as the youngest! We learned about or- ganizing in the home room or- ganizations and parliamentary drill until we could arise to point of order, In the eighth grade we had as our president, a sturdy leader, in Bob Morey, The keeper of our secrets and much business pro- ceedings was Naomi Nye. Ninth grade officrs were pres- ident, Neil Munson and secretary, Natalie I-Iadden, As a ninth grade we took our places in the larger life of the high school. Thirteen girls joined the G. A, A. and, as a group with ability must be reckoned with in every activity, gained recognition in the basketball tournament as the freshman team was second only to the winning senior team. In track events, Helen Gravatt was tirst with a broad jump of 11 feet, 9 inches, in the 50 yard dash with a time of 6.7 seconds, standing TOP ROW lLeft to rightl - -Wright, Vfixson, Titus, Thomas, Boas, Shregvo, Richard- son, Roemich V.

Mary Gatenby can throw a playground ball for a distance of nearly 150 feet. The baseball team made a commendable show- ing and the enthusiasm of the group is appreciated. The boys have done equally as well, In the sports, Bob Morey seems to be the outstanding ath- lete of the ninth grade. Bob got his football letter, and he received a reserve letter in basketball as a guard as well as a first string letter on the track team, Leland Marrow got his reserve letter in football, as a back and as student manager. Cloyd Richardson re- ceived a reserve football letter as a tackle. Stanley Roemich re- ceived a reserve football letter and was student manager. Emmett Schoenthal received a reserve let- ter in football as a back. Richard Shreeve received his re-serve foot-- ball letter an as an end and a re- serve letter in basketball as a for- ward, Charles Severin made a re- serve letter in track, carrying on the old Severin tradition of track and especially the mile. We have six of our group who ranked very we-ll as students. Norma Christensen, from kinder- garten days, has been near the top of the list. Pauline Detmer, al- though out some last year, has made commendable progress. Ber- nard Dresselhaus is always at the top of the list while Darline Grav- es, a newcomer from Raymond, is Sl10YVll1g' us more than several good grade slips, Kathryn Keller has rather consistently been near the top. Janice Marshall is an- other one with whom we have to reckon. March third the ninth grade gave a state day program under the supervision of Mrs. Rider. At the present time we are looking forward to high school days with hopeful hearts and un- daunted spirits. We feel that we have made a good start in the way of activities and we-'re certainly going to keep up the good work, In conclusion we sincerely thank Miss Scott for the intere-st she has taken in our efforts by en- couraging us to be ambitious Hazel Scott

24 THE VIEWPOINT-1935-36 And toils in his fields from morn 'til night., No king could a worthier service yield, For even the kind is served by the field. Ruth Sears Hands I catch a glimpse of polished nails, Of powdered skin and slim Perfumed hands of one Whose Walk of life is easy- Of one whose every nod is catered to, And yet who knows much dis- content A lady playing bridge. And walking thru the streets I see The hands of men who dig and delve- The hands which till the ground- Their hands are Weary, and Worn, and old, Their nails discolored, broken, Ye-t happy the man who lives For the soil from which he sprang -to which returneth. At home in peace I rest Those hands which caress My weary head, are square, de- pendable, Yet tender and soft, at once, The nails from polishg My mother hands.

Take all my earthly lot, One thing alone would I withhold, My friends-O take them not. Leave my friends and I will be Not destitute of worth, For friends will ever be to me The dearest things on earth. Rose Huffer History Class In History Class I'm very dumb I simply cannot think, And when the teacher calls on me My heart, it seems to sink, The other day she called on me, I didn't know what to sayg The fire bell whistled long and loud, And I was saved that day.
