REAQHING GOALS IN c1T1zENsHiP by Diana Daniels Early this year we enjoyed a talk given by Miss Kathleen O'Conner, a former citizen of England, on how she became a citizen of the United States. The gratitude and love she expressed for our Constitution, made us eager to learn about it. Our second semester started with the Constitution. Under Mrs. Hall's expert guidance, we learned how the Constitution was formed, how the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Departments work, how a bill becomes a law, how a foreigner is natural- ized, and how to use and display the flag. Near the end of the year, we put our findings into a beautifully decorated notebook along with all the pictures we could find of federal officials. Our Constitution study has pre- pared us for becoming good citizens. CHRISTMAS CHEER AT HOME Q ABROAD by Richard Larson TWO Eighth Grade customs were once again carried out by the pres- ent Eighth Grade. The sharing of . Mrs. Eddy's Writings on Christmas was carried out with a great deal of reverence. It was shared at both an assembly and the Christmas Formal The Eighth Grade once again helped the world's many needy through CARE. A total of S35 was collected and given to many countries. We received letters of thanks from Mexico, Hong Kong, Korea, India, and others. Once again it was a very busy Christmas for the Eighth Grade. BRUSHING UP ON ART by Deborah Boughn We artists of the Eighth Grade Class of 1963 have been working diligently to perfect our perspective of art. We have received wonderful advice and guidance from Mrs. Richards, our art teacher. I For each Fortnightly, the Eighth Grade girls picked a subject o work on. For the Parent's Fortnigh ly we chose Hawaiian scenes because the Ninth Grade had perfected a few Hawaiian dances for the Fashion Show. The Eighth Grade has many excel- lent artists. Don't you agree? FUN AT THE PARK by Mary Ann Baker Our Eighth Grade went on their annual picnic to Roxbury Park on May 16. Here the class played base- ball, tennis, and other exciting games. Some of the mothers and fathers helped to prepare hamburgers and other delicious foods for the day. The class returned to school and went swimming from 2:30 to 3:30. The class enjoyed their day and thanked Mrs. Hall and the parents for helping.

EIGHTH WORKS FOR PASSPORTS by Lindsey Nicholl This year, because of an abundance of Hblue cardsu the Eighth Grade Class went on a field trip. It led us to the Chevrolet Plant in Van Nuys. There we saw the process a car goes through as it is being made. We learned many interesting things. We saw the assembly line, its workers, and how each person performed his own individual job. After our tour, we had lunch in the executive's dining room at the plant. HARMONY IN MUSIC by Charlotte Pahlavi The year l963 has brought harmony to the hearts and voices of the present Eighth Grade. Our singing career all started with our Christmas Assembly when we sang carols. We brought joy to many when we shared our Christmas caroling on Saturday evening. Throughout the year the Eighth Grade has been kept busy with skill- ful four part harmony songs and with our Eighth Grade Talent Show and Junior High Music Assembly. FUTURE EINSTEINS by Paul Appleby In the science class, future Einsteins were able to conduct an excellent assembly demonstrating air pressure, inertia, the pull of gravity, and centrifugal force by using simple experiments which were all successful. Last fall, Mr. Richards treated the whole class with a tour of the Griffith Park Observatory. WINNING A WAR WITH SONGS by Linda Vogel At the beginning of the school year, the Eighth Grade Class stud- ied about the Civil War. In our enthusiasm, we gave an assembly on the War. We sang songs that the Northern and Southern soldiers had sung during the weary or happy days to keep up their morale. Several members of the class gave reports on the war and its certain events. -..i.......l GOURMETS OF LITERATURE by Bradley Scott There is no doubt that the most achievements in literature have been accomplished by the Eighth Grade Class of this year. From Sep- tember of 1962 our twenty-eight literary students have handed in four literature notebooks each, gleaned the acquaintance of almost one hundred books through oral re- ports, provided a well received lecture on books by Mrs. Campbell, and at the same time, presented in assembly, three of our best oral reports. Mrs. Dlouhy will testify to the quality of our compositions, poetic minds, and our admiration for good literature. Literature is the luminary essence of beauty. Coriginall TA LEN TED TEENS by Christine Sansone On May 13 the Eighth Grade gave a talent show for assembly. Debbie Boughn, Charlotte Pahlavi,and Christine Sansone danced the Baccon- ale from Sampson and Delilah direct- ed by Miss Doris Niles. Kent Bils- borrow played a popular piano solo. Paul Purtle and Mr. Carlson, his drum teacher, played a difficult drum duet. Tb close the program, David and Jon Drake played two numbers on drum and piano. SPECIFICS ON THE PACIFIC by Susie DeWindt World War II was brought into sharp focus by Mr. DeWindt who out- lined the War in the Pacific and illustrated it with personal experi- ences. He showed that the War in the Pacific was unique and unprece- dented because of the widespread island battlegrounds, the tremendous expanses of sea, and the continuous necessity to land troops on islands in amphibious warfare. He traced the Pacific War from Pearl Harbor to its farthest Japanese advance followed by the American buildup and the counter-attack which terminated at Hiroshima. Mr. DeWindt told of his work as an amphibious scout in the Naval Intelligence and the many occasions where he used Christian Science.
