Largest Class Represents Group This year, expanding along with Beachwood Junior High School was the eighth grade, a main foundation not only of the new school, but also of the Junior High Student Council. The class supplied the new organiza- tion with a secretary, treasurer, and many active mem- bers. This was the eighth grade's first year in the high school building, but its students took it in their stride, participating in many extra activities. The eighth grade daily schedule was not monotonous. For those advanced in mathematics, there was a junior high class in Algebra I. This past year, for the first time, the students with an aptitude for language, had a choice of four foreign languages: French, Latin, Span- ish and German. In the middle of the year, the boys were turned loose in the shop, where they learned about woodcraft, plumbing, and plastic molding. The girls were offered a course in home economies featuring elementary sewing techniques. Twenty-two eighth grade students were involved in the junior varsity band. Neither was the eighth grade lagging in extra- curricular activities. This fall, its boys participated in the flag football tournament and some held key posi- tions on the freshman football team. With the coming of the basketball season, an eighth grade team was formed and cheerleaders were selected. Many eighth grade students took an active part in the new bowling league. The eighth grade is awaiting the prestige of being leaders of the Junior High School next year. EIGHTH GRADE CHEERLEADERS--Susan Eisenberg, Chris DelSangro, Wendy Harris, Donna Rothkopf. 110

It was not until November, 1962, that the seventh grade was able to make the permanent move into Beachwood Junior-Senior High School. While the completion of the new high school annex was in progress, the seventh graders attended classes at Bryden and Hilltop Schools. Their con- tact with the upper grades was limited to the courses for which they were transported to the high school: gym, shop, music, art, home economics. It was fortunate that the new addition was finally opened by the time the largest class arrived. The youngest class is divided into six sections; each re- mains together throughout the school day as it moves from class to class. The seventh grade is involved in the multi- lingual program which exposes its students to four foreign languages. This method is used as an aid in the selection of a language in eighth grade. The choice of taking either one semester of art and one semester of music or an entire year of band was offered to the individual student in addition to basic English, history, mathematics and science courses. Although this class seemed separated academically, they joined together ambitiously in extracurricular activities. They supported their own seventh grade basketball team. A Sunday bike hike wit h Mr. Griffin and Mr. Berlin was the highlight of the fall season for the boys. ) The seventh grade students have adjusted well to junior high school life. In the next two years they will take even greater advantage of the opportunities afforded them. 112
