To almost every person, our Senior year is the year which we all look forward to and aim for. But, to many of us our Junior year is just as important and much more impressing. To start the year off with a bang we have a new slate of officers. They are: Presi- dent, Paul Hager, Vice President, Gwen Stanton, Secretary, Linda White, and Treasurer, Dolores Neidlinger. Of course all of the Juniors say Thank you to our class advisors, Mr. Senio, Mrs. Crane, Mrs. Shawler, and Mr. Huggins, all of whom have definitely helped and worked patiently with our class and class officers. Our first project of the year was Freshman Initiation. We don't think the Freshmen will forget it right away and are sure that everyone will agree that the Freshmen can now be accepted into high school. The Juniors, like all other classes, are sponsoring a skating party this year. We are also planning a rummage sale in March to sell our remaining sweatshirts, banners, and laminating cards. The most outstanding event and important project of the year is the annual Junior Prom which is being held in May. This concludes our events of the year so until you see us again in our Echo as Seniors, we say so long I

Grades three, four, five, and six are eagerly awaiting the first of February. It is at this time that we expect to move into the new elementary school on Pruyne I-lill. The first and most important reason for the building of the elementary school was insufficient room in the high school. Two second grades and two third grades held classes in the Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches because there was no room in the high school for them. The reason for building the school up on Pruyne Hill, instead of putting another ad- dition on the high school, was because there was no more available land okayed by the state. Mr. Nidkerson, Elementary Supervisor, will have his office and staff up on the hill. Miss Pagett, the school nurse, will commute between the two schools. The new school will provide big rooms for each grade, plus all that are necessary such as music rooms, art rooms, and a combined cafeteria and gymnasium. At the end of the day the school buses will pick up the elementary students, then come down to the high school for those students. The new elementary school has an ideal location on top of the hill overlooking Bainbridge. The contractors, I-lalloway Associates and Carl Hutchinson, are to be praised for the superb job on the new school. We are proud that our community is interested enough in the education of its young people to supply them with this fine school. The schoolias it nears completion. mn 1 '
