. 4, , The Edgar A. Guest Group 4 E all feel very proud of the name of our group. We are especi- K ally interested in our name since Mr. Guest was here with us in . ' . our own home room talking to us laughing with us, and writ- ll , f . 4 Sf' Nftci- . . ' ' ing his autograph for every one of us. We are very happy in our life at junior High. Since our entrance in September as seventh graders, we have completed a year's work, and we are well into the first quarter of the eighth grade. In our group there are several members of whom we are very proud. Foremost among our leaders is William Schaeffer. He has shown great spirit in all of our activities, and he has taken good care of us in the office of president. We are prouder of him than ever since he has been awarded the Blewett B for citizenship. Then there are Ralph McKee, Virginia Williamson and Dorothy johnson who are our leaders in scholarship. Virginia Yost and Kenneth Kennel have ably represented us in the seventh grade congress. In the list of very live members we must not forget William Goodrich, the captain of our baseball team, who with his nine have won many victories for us. As bugler William Goodrich also enjoys the privilege of frequently calling the citizens of junior to salute the flag at the opening and the closing of the school day. Virginia Rodgers-8th Grade. The History of the '6Torch Bearers gg f - BOUT two years ago, a badly frightened, meek looking group of if new sevens met in room 129. Our minds were filled with ques- tions enough to lill a book, such as: Where is the elevator? or When do we eat? After much signing of slips and cards, we were put into Mr. Grossrnan's group. As he was a new teacher and we were new pupils, all went well till we were transferred at the end of the half to Miss O'Hare. This was but temporary, however as Miss O'Hare soon deserted us. We were semi-orphans for -a while until Miss Rothman, who is now our adviser, adopted us. We are now quite busy finishing up the eighth grade, and expect to be much busier next year, doing bigger and better things, when we shall be in the ninth grade. To our great sorrow, many of our friends have left us, going to different parts of the world: but we have received many new pupils, who have almost taken their places. Our class officers are as follows: President .... Rosalind Unterberger Congresswoman ..Madeline Khano Vice-President ....... Melvin Gray Congressman ...... Gunner I-Iurtig Treasurer ..... Benjamin Beckman Junior Life Reporter Willard Turley Secretary . .. . ., .... Paula Bottorff Willard Turley-8th Grade. G9
