.JUNIOR HIGH CALENDAR SEPTEMBER Well, here we are again—back in school. Most of lie time was spent discussing summer happenings ind getting accustomed to homework again.

NOVEMBER The seventh and eighth grades put on an assembly for Education Week. It consisted of a radio broadcast entitled, “Schools for Freedom.” On the 21st was the big pep rally for the Thanksgiving Game. We all bad hopes that Monday would he our holiday. Well. Monday rolled around and there we were— back in school! DECEMBER December was another busy month, for we had to get ready for Christmas. Everywhere students were decorating rooms, and the mistletoe was distributed. We all enjoyed the Christmas assembly even though it wasn't the one intended. Mr. Evans was quiz-master and prizes were awarded. Parties were held in the homerooms, and till all the fun was over, both students and teachers welcomed the holiday vacation. JANUARY We all came to school with bright and shining faces because Santa Claus had been good to us. Resolutions had been made and we were all ready to begin 1952. Junior High participated in a “Baked Goods Contest.” Miss Souerwine’s room had the highest sales and therefore were the winners. The girls had their intramural basketball games.

On the 14th we enjoyed our last Antrim Program for the year. The speaker spoke on Yellowstone National Park and also showed a very interesting movie on it. Vi hen St. Patrick s Day rolled around, nearly everyone was garbed in green. APRIL Everyone had to keep alert, not to he caught by some April Fool’s Day joke. The weather was getting nicer by the day. and as we sat trying to concentrate on lessons, the inevitable question came into our minds, “Oh, why must we go to school?” The faculty tried to console our weary spirits by a play presented by the Dramatic Club and Miss Hughes. Boy, they surely did a fine job! MAY Well, the last month of school finally came rolling around. Our restlessness wras at its highest peak, caused by the enticing weather. On tin second we saw a program presented by the Science Club and Mr. Masters. Very interesting! We finally were allowed to stretch our muscles and soak up some sun on Field Day. Everyone had a wonderful time. Then came the long awaited event—Now wait a minute! Vie don’t mean finals—they re over. Of course. Commencement Day! We all enjoyed Mr. Baugher’s address very much. Then we all hurried out of Smith Hall singing “No more teachers No more hooks . . .” We were all set for a fine vacation, so we hurriedly said good-bye to our dear school. Well, not really good-bye, just so long for a while. After all, we will be back come September. 23
