Francis Luther. .....President Vice President .....Secretary .....Treasurer .Cheer Leader As our school year nears its close, we feel quite sophisticated indeed, for we are about to merge into that very superior Senior High atmosphere! Since we have been able to keep both scholarship and citizenship banners most of the time, it is ample proof of our having “knuckled down” to our studies. At the beginning of the year we elected our class officers and under their direction have carried on the work of the year. Regular class meetings have been held every other Tuesday. In the Corn-Mentor Campaign we won and we enjoyed the banquet which the seventh grade gave us, Um! Um! All the good eats! Our luck didn’t hold for we lost out in the Annual campaign. We thought we had won and were about to open the box of candy which had been given us when we were told that a mistake had been made and the box of candy went to the seventh grade. Oh, well, it was April 1st, so it must have been all right. Our class has had representatives in the various school organizations, the Student Council, Corn-Mentor Staff, Orchestra and under the leadership of Mr. Gutridge we have had an interesting Junior High Glee Club. We have participated in athletics, especially basketball. The Junior High basketball teams played several games. And the parties. Oh, yes! we had some and they were fun, too. thirty-one

Ehdora Davies .....David Frey ....David. Frey Mrs.. Go ,, our home room teacher,, was quite bewildered when, on tire, first day of school., she saw so many seventh graders. There were even too many for the size of the room., and every once in a while some one had. to stand in the hall. Everything around the school was new to us and we were, at first, a. trifle frightened! and. bewildered as to what we should' and shouldn’t do;. Meverthefess.. we found our piaces among other- classes of the school and are ready for next year when we shall be eighth graders.. Fate' was against us in regard to the citizenship and. scholarship banners.. They didn't seem to like to be hung in our room for they went to the eighth grade room and stayed there.. Just because our rivals won the Corn-Mentor contest and were banqueted: by us, they thought, that, they would enjoy the box of candy from the annual contest.. Mot so. however !! Our class has been represented; in the Student Council. Corn-Mentor staff.. Orchestra, and we have participated in the Junior High athletics, and in the Glee Club. Oh., yes. and: we had some parties.. At Hallowe’en there were ghosts and. all sorts ox looking objects in the gym which was decorated for the occasion.. And; at Christmas time Santa brought us many presents and good things to eat. tiiifctv-mvi
