Eighth 4 Grade Tempus fugitl The Eighth Grade came to the conclusion that it certainly does fugit, when they looked over the record of events which have taken place during their last year as graders, before they take their place as High School Frosh. Starting off the year with pep and energy. they finished in the same manner, and are all ready to step in next September and run the High School. Early in the year. they put themselves in the hands of the following competent officers: P1't'.i'itfe11f ........... ................

C. l6epre.re11f.zlir'e .............. MARY jANIi joHNsoN Things started humming right away after that. Because I-Iallowe'en was the first date on which the class could really justify a party, they waited until then, but made up for lost time on that occasion. Witli whom do you suppose the Eighth Grade enjoyed their Halloween Party? None other than the Freshmen. We can just imagine how dignified the Eighth Grade was! Qfior once in its lifelj And when Christmas rolled around, the class held another party. Sometimes the upper classmen wish they were in the grades again so that they could take part in these holiday parties! Of course, our neighboring high schools have heard of the Seventh and Eighth Grade Boys' Basketball Team. How did this happen, you may ask? Well, the team played the grade basketball teams of other schools and they made an illustrious name for themselves. They owe all their success to their manager, Mr. I-Ieise, who is also the class advisor. This spring Mr. Heise also organized a boys' baseball team of the Seventh and Eighth Grades combined. This team met with the same amount of success that the basketball team had. Can you feature an up-and-coming class without its own class song? The Eighth Grade couldn't, so at the beginning of the year a committee consisting of Clyde Turner, jacob Vanderbrook, Betty johnson and Mary jane johnson set to work and composed a very creditable class song. fbefore The classinj The Eighth Grade has a very good reason for wanting the last of june and the end of the school year to come. They are anxiously awaiting the annual school picnic. This year it will be held at Stony Bluff. A -..gf I5 Ei..- H

l i at Freshmen The other day when we were walking down the hall, we saw Rita Duncan and Arland Wllite by one of the lockers, squeezing in a few precious seconds of conversation be- tween classes. Of course, we didn't mean to listen, fwe wouldnt do that for anythingj-- but Arland whispered so loud we couldn't help but hear him say, Rita, dear, why is your face so red? And Rita answered, Oli, Arland, I'm just blushing to think how green I've been all year! ln September, the Freshmen were green, indeed, in the eyes of the upper classmen but they have certainly learned the ways of Sodus High School so rapidly, that Rita and Arland may yet steal the honors away from Elnora and Fred. They began to show signs of organization early in the year with the election of the following olhcers: Prefideuf ...... . . ........ VUILLIAM HAAK Vive-Prariden! .... .,..

Rossa W1LscJN Miss We-lclm, a new and well-liked teacher, and Mr. Lewis, always the Answer to a Freshman's Prayer, served as class advisors. The Freshmen boys had a soccer and a basketball team. Although neither team was a winner, the boys had fun playing these games. The Freshmen Girls had a basketball team and they took second place. Freshmen, or rather Fresh Girls, aren't so green after all. The boys also had an indoor baseball team which played with the other inter-mural teams. On March twelfth, the Freshmen were initiated by the Sophomores. The President says it was very successful because they enjoyed doing the things set before them. fCould it be true that the Freshmen enjoy being slaves?J When june has rolled nearly all her days off the calendar, the Freshmen expect to cele- brate ending their hrst year with a picnic which has great quantities of food. They will discard their green cloak and put on the mantle of the jolly Sophomores. They certainly have a reason to rejoice. Not any of them will become embarrassed any more by such questions as Arland asked Rita. I f -43 14 fy..-

Seventh Grade Halloween Parties! Christmas Parties! Valentine Parties! Hikes! Picnics! Wlio does all this? If you go to Sodus High School, you know the answer: the Seventh Grade, of course. Always gathering for a social time! They surely know what fun is, but they know the meaning of activity, as well. Here are a few of the high spots of their calendar for the year: Bobbing for apples and consuming cider and doughnuts at the Halloween partyg Decorating a Christmas tree and playing Santa Claus to each other and to Miss Bonner, the class advisor, at the Christmas partyg and making a Valentine cake for Mr. and Mrs. Rude and delivering it to their home. QMiraculously enough, they ate it and lived to tell the tale.j The class has kept a scrap book of the class events including snapshots of members of the class and clippings from the paper. fIt's too bad we couldn't have some of those snapshots in the Soduskan. That one of ,... J Members of the class were invited to put on, in a grade assembly, a play written by Kathryn Chambers. They did so, and were able to add the performance to their already lengthy list of successful accomplishments. Did you know that the Seventh Grade has some real musicians? The class was proud of the line solo work of Mary Alice Hoste and Vincent Gaudino who were entered in the band contest at Palmyra. The officers for the year have been: Preridenr ............ .....

MARSHALL COLES Members of the Seventh Grade are anticipating a picnic in june which will close the activities of the year and which will mark their advancement into the Eighth Grade. We can picture Shirley Mills with her pigtails, Gertrude La Belle with her yells, and Shirley La Rock with her presiding manner coming back next year with the resolution to have just as much fun as they did in the Seventh Grade. -Q 16 ip..-
