GROWING UP TO 1)0 evies,”“Munchkins,”and Little People are some of BL Fthe names the up- perclassmen called the seventh graders. However, no one seemed to remember that they too had the same problems adjusting to junior highschool life. The faculty of Subschool 1 did foresee the difficult ad- justments for the seventh graders and worked very hard to make the seventh graders’ first year in junior high a fun and productive one. Organizing study time, getting used to having six teachers, staying after school, finding buses, and managing lockers were some of the things the faculty helped the students with. We also try to get them acclimated to being in such a large school...It’s very scary for the students at first, commented Mrs. Oliver, Subschool 1 counselor . We’re here to help them and to give them some identity as a group.” At the end of the year, every seventh grader felt more at home in Lake Braddock as a result of the faculty’s efforts.

Through history class, students produced, advertised and sold items at their Country Fair. The fair was such a success that almost everyone that participated earned a reasonable profit. A similar success oc- curred within the subschool's math department. For the first time in Lake Braddock’s history an all-eighth grade algebra class was taught by Mr. Troia and Mrs. Brother. Another change ex- perienced was the directory. Under the supervision of the sponsor Mr. Studt and Miss Jahoda, a listing of student names and phone numbers was produc- ed. Representatives from different classes collected the necessary data and the class officers designed and assembled the directory which was printed at school and then later sold. Over all, most eighth graders enjoyed the changes and were glad to have shared them with close friends over the school year. Antonne Sylvas.
