SEVENTH GRADE On September the fourth, nineteen forty-five, we found ourselves wandering around in a strange new atmosphere wondering how long it would take us to get into the swing of it all. But very soon we were copying after the classes that had been before us by electing, for the first time, class officers. James Badertscher was voted to be our first class President; William Augsburger came second according to votes so we made him our Vice-President; and last but not least we elected Ruth Anna Lee to be our Secre- tary and Treasurer. Then we had a Thanksgiving party and also a party this spring. Some of us play musical instruments in the Junior Orchestra and some play in the Band. Blue Triangle claims some of our girls as members, and a few in the class belong to the 4-H Club. More than one-half of the students in cur class took an active part in the games that were played in the gymnasium during the noon hour. With Miss Steiner as our advisor, we feel very much a part of this B. H. S.

Eight 10 14 21 24 27 28 SEPTEMBER lst day of school. Those poor ignorant little guinea pigs. Just like lambs to the slaughter. Practice football game with Mt. Cory. Do they have to play that rough? There they’ve gone and have taken another chip off Cuby’s nose. Football game, Kenton, there. Not bad, not bad at all. Game, Ada, here. Grandma, that’s a referee not a convict. I know, but those stripes don’t mean a thing. Teacher’s Picnic. First course, papers, so they would not have to grade them. Candy bars that Bobo was going to eat in English class. Assembly. Now children this is going to be a very exciting and help- ful year, quoth the vulture. Game, Pandora, here. Poured cats and dogs. Pretty fair business sell- ing hot dogs. Just call us the mud hens. End of first month of school. Seventh graders decided to go back to grade school. ;

A A As our second year in this high school building draws to an end, we are becoming more interested in the opportunities offered us. Athletics, music, and the different clubs and organizations claim many members from our class. To show that we are athletically inclined, both, girls and boys in our class played in the intramural basketball teams and many of the other games that were played during the noon hours. Musically, we show our ability by playing instruments in Band and in Junior Or- chestra. Some of our girls take an active part in Blue Triangle. A number of our boys be- long to the Boy Scouts. Two classmates are reporters for the Cutlass. Richard Steiner, our class President, and Carla Schumacher, Treasurer, have planned three class parties which we all enjoyed. The first one was a Halloween Party in Willa Hilty’s barn, the next was one in the gymnasium, and the last was an outdoor party. Miss Weed has been our helpful advisor.
