BERKELEY HALL SCHOOL If once you've gone to Berkeley Hall You'll never be quite the same, For there you'll grow so straight and tall with your education game. I'll never forget what I have learned - In Literature, peotry was the best, In games it was to catch swift balls, But I finally passed each test. My heart rejoices with gratitude, Secure in comforting attitude, For many hurdles feared last Fall Have been resolved at Berkeley Hall. by Penny Hill SPRING - ONE SMALL WORD Spring - one small word! what does it mean? The world's most bewitching, delightful Treasures now heard and seen. Spring is the song birds are singing Twittering like tinkling bells gayly ringing. Spring is the delicate fragrance of flowers Scenting the air with enchanting powers. Spring is clean rain falling over the ground Playfully splashing, an entrancing sound. Spring, the soft subtle, beneficial breeze Rippling, friskling, flaunting the leaves. Spring is the rich resplendent sky, A royal canopy for trees grown high. s Spring is a convention of brilliant stars at night illuminating the dark to a shimmering bright. Spring is a wondrously divine rebirth Of waiting, slumbering, eager earth. by Patty Lee Reeder These two poems were selected by Mrs. Dlouhy to represent the Seventh Grade in Literature in the Annual. They were chosen for the message each one carries and for the sincerity of the effort by the students. David Marshall THE BOOK FAIR Dave Hocker Mrs. Campbell.

OUR IMPRESSIONS OF JUNIOR HIGH Yvette Monroe - Ellen Fishburn A new desk, a new teacher, and a new room is how Junior High began. Berkeley Hall has meant a lot in our first year of Junior High and we are deeply enjoying this exper- ience. Junior High is like a whole new world of an endless variety of exciting activities as well as im- portant responsibilities. We new- comers are now the youngest in Jun- ior High, and we must show the Eighth and Ninth Graders that we can act old enough to be included in their group. Our class meetings and class parties are also something new and different. To be able to plan and organize them ourselves is a wonderful experience. In class meetings we discuss and vote on all important matters. The class parties offer a marvelous op- portunity to use wisely our class money from dues and fines. Our school subjects are challenging and interesting this year. Litera- ture and American History are some of our newly explored regions. The Fortnightlies were greeted eagerly by one and all and have given many happy memories to look back upon. In art, our project of nighly decorations for Grade Invitational CBe making Fort- the Sixth careful with that purple paintll was executed beautifully. We had many laughs when painting the funny characters of the Addams Family. we delved into the world of music by studying the orchestra and the origin of its instruments in our Music Class with Mrs. Purtle. The stiff competition between the Blues and Whites in all our sports, added to our enjoyments of Junior High. Last,but certainly not least, is our BEWARE OF MAN-EATING PLANTS!

Lately, thanks to walter, some more ground-covering plants were added. This gave us another oppor- tunity to set our green thumbs to work. OUR PICNIC DAY Yvette Monroe G Gale Ricketts One May 28, to Julie's house went the fun-loving Seventh Grade and their teacher, Mrs. Evans. The very kind hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Gross was extended to all. During the day we enjoyed swimming, volleyball, handball and dodgeball.
