And last but not least, the seventh grade boys show great promise of being star basketball players, although the Jr. High basketball team had lost a few games, the boys have great futures before them. The seventh graders have done very well this year and hope to continue to do so throughout the rest of their school life. EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY The children were tired of the strenuous work of playing cowboy. So they gathered around their grandmother and begged her to tell them a story. “All right,” she said, I will tell you a story of when I was in school. About my eighth year I entered the Berrien Springs High School. There were around thirty pupils in our class. We had a motto which seemed very funny to me then but it sure was a fine one as I see it now. Let me see, if I remember right I believe it was “Plan your work, then work your p’an.” I believe our Sponsor was Miss Mann and she was a sporty one too. I remember we had a Halloween party the first semester and it sure was fun. It was a masquerade and everyone came dressed in funny costumes. The gymnasium was decorated in orange and black. For refreshments we had sandwiches, apples, and cider. You know that man that lives down here on the corner, Merle Roth, I believe he was our president and the great Movie Star we all saw last night, Maxine Wooley, was our vice president. Arthur Wagner, the man that built this house, was our Secretary and Ethelvn Shearer was our treasurer. I don’t know where she is hut children I want to tell you this, make the best of your school days ’cause they don’t last forever. Now run along and play. Charles Harris. Jr., don’t forget to tell your father I said “hello” and ask him if he remembers this storv I have just told you. “Here is a rose for you “Aunt Marv.” “Oh thank you Helen that was our class flower. You are a dear child.” Merle Ro h TO OUR UNDER-CLASSMEN “If the first time you fail—Try, Try Again.” “Though the impossibility of the thing seemed too great; still we succeeded.” It would have been impossible for us as highest Classmen to complete, successfully, our plans if it had not been for your splendid cooperation during the passing year. To you Juniors we wish to express our hearty appreciation for your ability to get out and help us raise the finances which went toward the publication of this book and we sincerely hope that during the year to come, when you are Seniors, your Junior Class will get out and work for you as you worked for us. It would not only take up too much space but also be impossible for us, as Seniors, to enumerate the little favors and acts of kindness you have done for us. You have given up part of your fun and broken your plans so the last year for us in this high school might be a pleasant one. Maybe you have not done this as a group but it certa’n'.y has been accomplished many times individually. We are able to publish this book, “The Canoe,” which we, as Seniors, are proud of; only because during the month of November, nineteen-hundred and thirty-four, you worked diligently with us to complete our plans for the Carnival, which was a success due entirely to your splendid cooperation. There is only one thing which we regret and that is, that we will not be here next year to help you, in turn, with your plans and thus show you our appreciation for what you have done for us. Thus we justly take this space to heartily thank you for your cooperation in the past year. To you Sophomores, Freshmen, and members of the Junior High, we also wish to give our thanks. You acted as advertisers and barkers for our Carnival. You also helped to finance our book. So for you also we take this space to thank you. We sought your assistance when help was needed; you have often sought us when the task proved too great. Thus through cooperation comes success. Class of “35” f28l 1935 THE CANOE
