Lively, full of fun-these terms sym- bolize the peppy bunch of eighth graders whose home room is 301. Mrs. Bergman is their home room teacher. Most of the thirty-two pupils enjoy their pleasant room and their many junior high activities. Under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Brant the eighth grade organized, electing home room and class officers as follows: Dayle Mouser, president: Howard Bangs, vice-president: Char- lotte Ellithorpe, secretary, Eleanor Iacobs, treasurer. Dayle, having moved to Oregon during the first semester, was greatly missed by the class, but the office of presidency was ably filled by Howard. The eighth graders enjoyed several activities throughout the year. One pleasant memory is the picnic held at Roberts Park on a bright, sunshiny afternoon. Those having bicycles pedaled their way out: others hiked. What could be more amusing, and perhaps more thrilling, than to see a group of girls play football with the boys in competitive style, as they did at this time! All were on an equal basis. Another unusual situation took place when the boys lent no assistance to the girls in fire-building, but went off by themselves to cook and partake of food by their own fireside. We had a very enjoyable Valen- Twenty-eight grade tine party at the Union Church. Every class in school is interested in athletics: not the least of these is the eighth grade. ln the junior high point they finished well. The tallies were as follows: 50 yard dash, Don- ald Fleet 6.9, Floyd Henson 6.9: high jump, Floyd Henson 4'l : 75 yard dash, Floyd Henson l0.l, Don Fleet l0.l: broad jump, Wilbur Wright ll'8 , Floyd Henson 1l'l g 100 yard dash, Donald Fleet 3.2, Floyd Henson 4.23 shot put, Sophus Larsen l9'6 , ,Donald Fleet l8'l0 . One of the most important activities of the class, closely connected with the school is the Iunior Civic League. During the first semester, the eighth grade studied The Value of an Edu- cation. Robert Keller represented us as pledge leader while Charlotte Ellithorpe acted as our delegate. City Planning, Avocations and Vo- cations, Character Traits, and Essen- tials for Success, were the topics dis- cusfed as a part of the Iunior Civic League program. Mr. Hertzler of the University of Nebraska spoke on City Planning, April 8, at the Stuart Theater. Altogether the eighth grade has felt that the year has been worthwhile and interesting. The members look forward to the freshman class and the superior rank of ninth grade.

'ZEQQHZEIZ On the morning of September 18, 1934, thirty-seven pupils entered jun- ior high and started to climb the lad- der of knowledge. As we have reached the ninth grade, our number has increased to forty-four. The freshman class was divided in- to two different groups, one having Miss Scott as home room teacher and the other, Mrs. Brant. We were placed under the guidance of Miss Scott, our able sponsor. At the beginning of the school year we elected Keith Powell as our class president and George Ridgway as sec- retary of the class. The honor students have been, George Ridgway, Ira Vorhies, Ted Lyons, and lane Stewart. Iunior Civic League officers chosen from the ninth grade were: Aloie Brooks and Dwaine Sevier, Presi- dents: Theresa Farnsworth, vice-presi- dent: lane Stewart and Ted Lyons, secretaries. Pupils receiving efficiency certifi- cates are: Aloie Brooks, Cecil Doubt, Lois Kess, lane Stewart, Gertrude Pittman, and Betty Schoenthal. The ninth grade has some boys who have made outstanding achieve- ments both in football and basketball. Delbert Sampley won a first string 1 letter. Keith Powell, as a backfield man, and Paul Tudor as a tackle, received reserve letters. After the basketball season closed, a letter was given to Arthur Nickel. Keith Pow- ell lettered as a guard, along with Howard Gotfredson, Lawrence Nolan, and Bud Porter as forwards. Many of the girls have joined G.A. A. Edith Douglas has eamed the most points toward a school letter. The students in Mrs. Brant's home room wrote and presented a Nebraska Day program on March l. It was given in the form of a three-act play. Principal characters were Howard Gotfredson, Lois Kess, Wayne French, Aloie Brooks, Ted Lyons, Edith Douglas, and Cecil Doubt. The play was written into dialogue form by Cecil Doubt, Ted Lyons, and Aloie Brooks. Pupils receiving certificates on List l spelling test were Lois Kess and Aloie Brooks. Students having perfect attendance during the past year were Edith Douglas, Walter Hunter, Aloie Brooks, Dwaine Sevier, and Doris Puckett. We of the ninth grade look forward with much anticipation to our entrance into senior high next September. Twenty-:even

Somewhat awe- struck by the many students scurry- ing here and there, they began to won- der if they'd ever Hnd their home r oo m. Finally Miss Coffman told them where to go, and a sigh of re- lief was heard. Finally the time came to elect offi- cers. They chose the following as class officials: president, Wayne Sawf Ver: vice-president, Robert Wohlberg: secretary, Paul Henson: treasurer, ' h me Richard Stangenburg, For the 0 room officers: president, Wayne Sawyer: vice-president, Norma Clark: secretary-treasurer, Mary Ellen Pow- ell, Then came the Iunior Civic League trip. The trips were in salesmanship. They chose Dorothy Walker as Col- lege View's representative for the Civic League pledge. Three weeks later, those that were interested in music went to the music concert at the Stuart Theater. Some of the students have shown very fine talent in amateur programs throughout the year. For instance: Elsa Brooks, a light-footed little acro- bat: Mary Ellen Powell. an equally fine tapdancer: Betty Roeder and Nor- ma 'Cark, who have shown skill at playing the piano: and Iack Kucera, an excellent accordion player. lt was decided that the home room should have a picnic, so a date was set and all approved. Mr. Chase chaperoned and proved to be a great sport. lt is indeed a pleasure for the seventh-graders to state that Mr. Chase ranks very satisfactorily as a home room and gym teacher. As the semester ended, there was a line list of honor roll students. They were. Elsa Brooks, Margaret Knowles, Rose Anne Moon, Betty Mae Iones, Mary Ellen Powell, Paul Henson and Iames May. They had the honor of leading the school in attendance, per- fect attendance students reading as follows: Norma Clark, Betty Mae Iones, Betty Roeder, Mary Ellen Pow- ell, Ruth Marrow, Iames Young, and Paul Henson. The students are very active in clubs. There are three Boy Scouts, seven Campfire girls that are Wood- Gatherers, and two that are not, and Hfteen Blue Triangle members. Then the time came to go on an- other Civic League trip. This time the trips were on agriculture, and the students learned quite a bit about outdoor life, both plant and animal. And so with hope in their hearts. the class climbs one rung on the lad- der of success. Twenty-nin C
