A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE Debbie O'Hara Jon Jespersen Marnette Cooling Our very first ride in the new school bus to the Beverly Hills library is an experience we will never forget. We arrived at the library and viewed the lovely fountains. Around the top of the build- ing there is a mosaic made of different colors re- presenting books on a shelf. Once we were inside, we could hardly hear a thing except the kind voice of Mrs. Zweiback, the librarian, welcoming us to this wonderful house of books. The library even has a theatre and a stage! We were conducted through the various de- partments and invited to stay longer, but our pre- cious time was over. As we all piled back into the bus, we were all so grateful for being able to have the privilege of being the first students to be taken through this beautiful library. NIGHT TIME FUN Marnette Cooling Lee K. Nicholl We finally made it to the Seventh Grade and the Berkeley Hall Fortnightlies. Each month we enioy the different types of dances. The Box Social and the Christmas Formal are our favorites. The Corner Dance and the Lemon Dance are fun. We think the maiority of the Seventh Grade prefer the Box Social with the original and cleverly decorated picnic supper boxes to all of the other dances. TWO NEW FACES lN THE SEVENTH GRADE Part l - Tom Asher Long-haired, blue-eyed Karon Gessler is the latest addition to the Seventh Grade. Coming to us from Warner Ave. School, Karon states that it has not been hard for her to fit into the Seventh Grade class. French, literature, and science are Karon's favorite subiects. When asked what she liked best about this school, she said, the two grass fields and the swimming pool. Karon has enioyed her first year at Berkeley Hall, and the class has en- ioyed having her as a member. Part Il - Barry Brookins Charles McArthur, the new boy in our class, came to us from Windsor Hills School. He likes math, P.E. and geography and shop. He also ad- mires the warm, friendly atmosphere of our cam- pus. Charles plans to stay with us through the Ninth Grade. He and his family attend the Twen- ty-Ninth Church of Christ Scientist. We are all very happy to have Charles with us this year. A MAN WITH A GREEN THUMB: Our Special Guest Randal Craft and Elisa Belvedere The Seventh Grade was asked to research on the trees of the Berkeley Hall campus. So, we in- vited Mr. Luerssen, who knows a great deal about trees, and is also a good friend of Berkeley Hall, to come to speak to us on this subiect. Mr. Luerssen gave us a brief talk before taking us around the campus. He explained to us the origin, foliage, and growth of many trees. A few diagrams revealed to us many interesting facts about trees. On our tour of the campus we took notes and listened to everything Mr. Luerssen told us. After- wards we reported on the various trees. We are very grateful to Mr. Luerssen for giving us so much information about our beautiful campus trees. OUR TRAVEL PROGRAM Patty Toberman Ricky Wilson lt was a bright, sunny day when our program called, Travel Time , was given. We presented it for the Mothers' Club and again for o Junior High assembly. The program included material from our study of Europe. ln our skit, fifteen lively and persuasive travel posters of European coun- tries convinced an undecided traveler that he should go to Europe rather than the Orient. Our skit was fun to present and gave us val- uable experience before an audience. NO VALENTINES FOR ME? Patty Toberman 7th When will I hear the mailman's ring? Like an angel's harp that ting-a-ling. Surely he'll pause on his merry way, To leave me a card on this heart-shaped day. Will there be a note from a secret masher? Or an awkward scrawl from young Tom Asher? Will there be a lace-covered card for me? Or a scribble from bashful Lee? A parcel from Marshall? A canary from Barry? A trick from Rick? A praline from Dean? Candy from Randy? Some barley from Charlie? A bon bon from Jon? Games from James? In spite of my watching the mail box with zeal, I never did hear the door bell's peal. If Valentines Day is to be any fun, My parents will have to send me one! OUR FIRST TRACK MEET Robin Charlston Tom Asher Barry Brookins Markers for the beginning and ending of races, chalk lines surrounding the back field, and a high and broad iump pit are all n'ew sights on the Berkeley Hall athletic field. Here, for six weeks the Fifth through Ninth grades practiced earnestly in preparation for the track meet with Clairbourn School. On the day of the meet the Seventh Grade sent R 45UF3l90 lln9 COST Of l6 members, the largest par- ticipating class of the five grades of Berkeley Hall. .Competition in dashes, relays, high iump, brood lumps and shot put made this a rewarding and competitive day. Competing with Clairbourn is another step for- Word 'V' me CllC 9'fWg and progressive activities of Berkeley Hall. YOU SHOULD SEE Karon Gessler 7th I went to the toy store and you should see, I bought a bunny as big as me. He has the colors of pink, red and rose, And was I surprised when he wiggled his nose. Then all of a sudden he hopped around, And his ears flopped over and touched the ground. What surprised me most was he started to talk, And instead of hopping he decided to walk! TURNING OVER A NEW PAGE Christie Harman Judy Ripkey Along with a new room, and a new teacher our class ventured into New Math this year. The Seventh Grade has had New Math through- out the entire school year. We are solving prob- lems using methods that enable us to under- stand math better. It is a challenge but once we catch on we find it a lot of fun. Geometry, for instance, became an appealing subject. Learning to use compasses and protractors, and understanding geometric symbols helped us be- come familiar with the meaning of geometry. We have learned about numerals, symbols, fac- toring and primes, operations, equations, and prob- lem solving. ' New Math will prepare us for the coming years, and especially for algebra in the Ninth Grade. I7
