ALL FOR 8 AND 8 FOR ALL Class Motto Work Work Work Watch and Pray By CHRISTOPHER BRIX The class motto was submitted by Anne Moore and Jane Grimbleby. It was designed and painted by Anne Archer and Anne Moore. It was found in one of Mrs. Eddy's works. The eighth grade since the beginning of school has had six elections. The presidents have been: Donald Kreiger, Carol DeWindt, William Cox, Gail Osherenko, Jeffery Jarvis, Anne Moore, and Anne Archer. Our secretaries have been: Carolyn Sage, Melody Paxton, Christine Downey, Anne Moore, Erin Jurow, and William Cox. This year the eighth grade has had ten blue card winners. They are: Anne Archer, Kent Attridge, William Cox, Carol DeWindt, Jeffery Jarvis, Erin Jurow, Donald Kreiger, Virginia McCormick, Anne Moore, and Gail Osherenko. Goals in Literature By JAYNE PESANTE This year Mrs. Dlouhy mapped out new and interesting goals in literature for our class. We have explored the interior of a continent of poetry with such renowned bards as Longfellow and Whitman. We delved into the worn pages of several classics such as A Clarirtnzar Carol, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Evangeline. Not only have we learned to analyze and evaluate poems and stories but some of our classmates have endeavored to create poems of their own, and with considerable success! Future Citizens Training Now By BILL Cox This spring the eighth graders have been busily working on their Constitution notebooks. We have put all our efforts into making them marvelous masterpieces. We are well informed on every detail of how the Constitution was made to the steps in passing a bill through Congress. Using every magazine or newspaper we could find, we searched diligently for pictures of Senators, Representatives, Cabinet members, and the like. The recent presidential elections offered an opertune time to increase our knowledge of how a president is elected. This Constitution study has given us a greater appreciation of our government and its functions. Mr. Richard's Junior Physicists By MICHAEL DAY This year in Mr. Richard's science class We have studied a wide variety of interesting subjects. They are: weather and the earth's atmosphere, astronomy, electricity and magnetism, which were made interesting by Mr. Richard's sometimes successful experiments, different kinds of energy, especially atomic energy, sound, the petroleum, and mechanical devices. We also studied out of a booklet published by General Motors dealing with automobiles, airplanes, rockets and diesel engines. Last fall, Mr. Richards took us on a tour through the Griffith Park Observatory. We saw many interesting science exhibits and an informative show about the stars. As you can see, this year has been a rich and full year in Mr. Richard's science class. Tuning in on Music' By DON KRIEGER Music has been great fun this year. It started with our Christmas Assembly in which we sang Carol of the Drums - Davis, Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light, and a few others. As a special privilege in the Eighth Grade we went carolling in the evening which we all enjoyed. We sang many old favorites, and carolled at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. After the Christmas season we continued to buckle down and work. We learned The Blue Danube -Strauss, Vesper Hymn, I Believe, and Joshua Fight the Battle of Jericho. These songs were sung at our music assembly in June. Sheep and Lambs May Safely Graze by Bach was sung on the supreme day-Graduation. Garden Gift By LARRY SANsoNE The eighth grade garden of 1961 has really gotten under way. We were surprised one day before dismissal to find a beautiful garden planted outside our room by the Osherenko family and their gardener. Among the plants are Hibiscus, Begonias, Daisies, Ferns, Roses and Iris, some of which bloom according to seasons while other bloom year round. Many thanks to the Osherenko family for making possible a lovely garden and to Memphis for keeping it in condition. Budding Artists By ANNE ARCHER Through all the past fortnightlies the eighth grade girls have been working diligently to put the colorful decorations on the auditorium walls. They found the work rewarding under the loving guidance of Mrs. Richards. She gave them many hints on how to make our decorations more elegant, cheerful and eye- catching. For each dance the girls chose a theme and worked around this theme. For the Christmas formal they all made Christmas cards with different illustrations on them. For the spring formal the theme was flowers, and each student made different flower arrangements. Some of the other themes for the decorations were made especially to be appropriate for the occasion. For Halloween they made witches and pumpkins. For the Valentine dance there were red, pink and purple valentines to brighten the auditorium. Those funny cartoon characters, the Flintstones, were also a theme. When the parents were permitted to drop in and take part in one of the dances, the girls used a mother daughter, father son theme. They have enjoyed thoroughly this happy experience and they know it will help them in later schools if they should take art courses. Christian Science on the Front Lines By CHRISTINE DOWNEY Mr. Kenneth Fisher gave a talk on World War Two. He told how the men lived on the battle fronts, how they felt about the war, and the destruction they saw done, the boxed meals they ate, and the many hours of training each day. He had a map to show his travels with the Ninetieth Division. He had many pictures and medals of honor including a purple heart. Mr. Fisher also had many Nazi medals which he had found and many Nazi flags which he acquired from Nazi buildings or on the battle fields. Mr. Fisher explained how he used Christian Science at every moment and in every experience.

From our studies we have discovered that fish can talk, that plants grow in total darkness, that rough objects heat up faster than smooth ones, that you should never hold a lighted match near gasoline, and that flour can explode. I think science is one of Berkeley Hall's best classes! A Visit to the Cardozo Card Company By JANALEE MEYHAUS One day early in March, the girls in our class visited the Buzza-Cardozo Card Company. We were conducted on a tour of the plant by a member of the staff. We were shown through every department of the plant, including the art department where the cards are designed, the construction department where the cards are printed, and the selling department. It was very interesting, and we learned to appreciate cards more. This Year's Football BY TOR KENWARD This year we had an exciting football season. It started off with the Whites winning most of the games. But the most remarkable thing that happened was the ball game at the end of the season that really brought excitement. Everybody was there to see us-from the 4th grade to the 9th grade. There were cheer leaders also. After the opening ceremonies, the game began, and the unexpected Blues had a defense which the Whites could not break. At the end the Blues won by one point. THREE HUNDRED NORTH SWALL By STEVE ARTHUR We are the Class of Sixty One. Our troubles have only just begun, Two more years at Berkeley Hall, That wonderful school, 300 North Swall. Two more years of work and fun, Expressing kindness, love to everyone, Arithmetic, spelling, literature, too, Working hard to avoid that All united we still stand Knowing that victory will be grand, With faith in each other, one and all, In that wonderful school, 300 North Swall. A TALE OF JOY By MELISSA BOSLER Of all the tales that I've been told There is one I like the best. It happens on a midnight cold When every child is at rest. Across the sky streaks Santa Claus And his reindeer all so gay. You can hear his hearty Ho's and As he hurries on his way. HI-Ia-,Sv He visits many a happy home Before his night's work is done, Through many a sky he will roam Sharing joy with everyone.

From Abstract to Fossils By CAROL DEWINDT On May 2, our class toured the Los Angeles County Museum. Miss Nugent, was our very excellent guide. After looking at the birds and learning the difference between a crow and a raven, we gazed at the Natural History dioramas. The backgrounds of these scenes were extremely real, and the animals themselves looked as though they would move at any moment. Miss Nugent showed us the different steps in making the animals to be used in the dioramas, and we surveyed the scenes with renewed zeal. Our faithful guide gave us a very wonderful lecture on Picasso and explained that in modern art the artist does not try to paint the outside appearance of an object, but attempts to express the emotion connected with the portrayal. While we looked at a painting of Saint Bernardino, Miss Nugent explained the meaning of the three miters arranged around the saint as thus: Thrice had Saint Bernardino been offered the office of bishop and three times had he refused. The honorable saint loved to teach and he taught that all men, regardless of human lineage and family, are the children of God. It is for this man that our present city of San Bernardino is named. Miss Nugent finished her fascinating tour by saying that a museum is a link with the past and future, joining all men in one grand brotherhood. The class then divided into several groups and surveyed such things as dinosaurs, chickens hatching, and a bee hive. Funfilled Frolic By CAROLYN SAGE The Eighth Grade Picnic Day was held on May 16th at the Cheviot Hills Park. Arriving around 10 a.m. at the park, the tennis and volley ball courts soon filled up, as well as the baseball diamond. At noon a delicious lunch was served by the Mother's Play Day Committee. The lunch tasted extra good because we barbecued our own hot dogs, ate home made baked beans, relishes, and drank many bottles of ice cold soft drinks. The lunch was topped off by the most delightful assortment of cakes ever seen on a picnic table! Around 2 o'clock, the class returned to school to swim in the pool which was reserved especially for us. Famous Faces, Places and Events By ANNE MOORE Before beginning our Constitution study the eighth grade finished the second half of the history book which we started in seventh grade. After finishing each unit, which contained two or three chapters, each student selected a famous man, woman or event for an oral report. After going to the library and making other extensive research work we gave a complete oral report to the class on our character and showed pictures from books to illustrate our talks. For each report every student drew a picture of his character or of some- thing pertaining to this characters life. Some pictures were painted, some were in pencil or ink, and others were in colored pencil or chalk. There were also many other original ideas such as silhouettes cut from colored paper or pieces of tapestry. These pictures made a colorful and attractive border for our room. Presentation of the Flag By GAIL OSHERENKO p For our April assembly the eighth grade told the history of the flag from the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to the 50 star Old Glory of today. Reports on each flag over that period of time were written and given by Bill Cox, Anne Moore, Carol DeWindt, Don Krieger, Carolyn Sage, Kent Attridge, Mary Cameron and Anne Archer. Pictures of flags illustrating the talks were drawn- by Mike Day, Jane Grimbleby, Erin Jurow, Jayne Pesante, Christine Downey, Virginia McCormick, Barry Greenslate, Gina Killough, Melody Paxton, and Don Durran. Then the assembly turned from the 50 stars and 50 states of the American Flag to a big surprise. Last year our class held a record auction in which almost every class of Berkeley Hall participated. Some of the money raised by that auction had not been used. The gift we chose to present was one that we thought was needed and one we took great pride and pleasure in presenting to Berkeley Hall School. Larry Sansone and Chris Brix dra- matically opened the curtains and there was a new beautiful 50 star flag. We all stood and saluted Berkeley Hall's new 50 star flag. .
