Junior high gets active The seventh graders excitedly start- ed their first year as high school students. They participated in many events during the year in- cluding homecoming where they built a float entitled Chomp Up the Hornets and performed a skit called Pac-Man Fever. Doing the play, They've Sunk the Lusitania and learning how to give speeches helped to develop their English skills. The eighth graders started their year out on the right track by win- ning second place on their skit We've Got What it Takes and their float The Hornets are Stuck With Us on coronation night. Their big project was raising $50 for the Statue of Liberty renovation fund by holding a cake raffle at a basketball game. As a social studies project, they held a mock school election for President in Novem- ber. CLASS OFFICER.

Grades compete in field day Grades four, five, and six were de- partmentalized again this year. Starting band was a highlight for the fourth graders while the fifth and sixth graders continued with their band and vocal activities. Many of the students presented so- los at the grade music contest in Selby. Besides basketball, the grades also participated in a local track and field day. The qualifiers then at- tended the conference meet in Selby. All three grades increased their dramatic skills by presenting plays throughout the year. The sixth grade presented Rip Van Wrin- kle to grades K-8 using the stage in the gym. Damon and Pythias was done by the fifth grade and the fourth grade presented IS There Life on Other Planets, Wise Peo- ple of Gotham, and Puppet 24 Plays.
