We were divided into two groups in the first grade, half under Miss Etta Berger and half under Miss Watt. At the end of the first grade, we began t0 separate, some of us going ahead and some dropping behind. This has happened every year, but the main group is the same. The next year we were under Miss Louise Berger who had charge of the second grade; from there we went to Miss Ethel B. Hetriek who taught the third grade. Our chief interest in the first and second grade was saving our pennies to buy Thrift Stamps. In the third grade we helped win the Liberty Bell contest for the grammar school. Nothing else of particular interest occurred in the first three years of our schooling except that we increased in wisdom and stature every day. During the third year we had been looking forward to the fourth with much interest because then we were to begin departmental work. At first :E: we were a bit confused as we were not used to going about from room to? 4:: room, and having so many different teachers, but we finallybeeame accustomedi 13 to arriving at the right place with the right book and decided we liked it. 3' 5 Athletics were organized in the htth grade when we had a class base- E; ball team. Each year since then we have had one which has been more 01' 5E! less successful. :5: We now entered the sixth grade where we felt our superiority to the 22: rest of the grammar school. The year passed pleasantly and uneventfully. a At the last part of the year we had a picnic to celebrate the. fact that we I were going over into the new building; During our grammar school days we had the misfortune to lose two of our members by death, Frank XVilhehn, in the second grade. and Frederick Storr, in the sixth. September, 1923, found us members of the Junior High, which marked the greatest event of our youthful careers. We entertained the Home and School Association one night by giving a geography project. The Junior High had a very successful basketball team; the seventh grade claiming the star player, Theodore Reed. We had our first class party in February, which was enjoyed very much; 'On VVashing'tonts birthday some of the mem- bers of the class gave a play which was said to be one of the best ever given by a seventh grade. Although it was thought that we were too young to have student govern- ment. at first, yet we have shown that it is a great success and we hope to prove that we can beat the eighth grade in that respect. Our history is brief because we are only halfway through school, but in the next six years we expect to make some interesting history for B. A. H. S. J. A. H.
