This year for tin first time in tin history of tin 1 Irmly schools the work of tin 7th and 8th grades was departmentalized, giving the students the oppor- tunity of more intensive training in the four major fields of study— mathe- matics, social Science, English, and science, together with work in manual training, home making, and music, all under teachers trained especially in these fields. The junior high school pupils may tako part in certain school activities formerly open only to the senior division. Electa Peeler, Mildred Thompson, and Gladys Johnson are in the hand. Until Uouns, Gladys Johnson, Wilma Johnson, Kachel Jermunson, and Viola Zimhelman are. in the Glee Club. For many students the break from the eighth grade to high school is too great. The change is apparently too abrupt. With the junior high school arrangement the gap is filled and the passage from grade school to high school is more gradual. 'Though the junior high is new to us. we realize that it is not new in this country. It has been in use in the larger and more progressive schools for years. The idea is a natural growth from the study of tin needs of hoys and girl —another step in the progress of education. . s the modern truck and car is advanced over the ox-cart and horse and buggy days so it is felt that the junior high school provides enriched oppor- tunities only dreamed of in the crowded country school, with all grades and only a few minutes devoted to each recitation; and that the chance tor con- tacts, development of initiative and self-reliance, and varied program is far in excess of that possible in ;i one leaclier, one room nrrniigeinent.

On a bright smmy September morning tin doors of tin high school were thrown open to admit sixteen freshmen. Ambitions and enthusiastic, yet hest.it a ting, they marched into the assembly and neeupied the desks on the “east side.” Wll went wall until the fatal day of September, tin thirteenth, when the sophomores performed the annual feat of initiating tin timid freshmen. The activities were carried out in tin wide open spaces at tin Teton river. I'pon resuming the activities in the school after the initiation the fresh men found themselves to he more at “home! 4 It is queer to note that only an “introduetion was necessary to bring to light 1 Ik hidden fine qualities of Some ot tin members ot tin class The first semester found lnosl of the mem- bers of the class sailing along clear of the ruts, and with added enthusiasm and determination the second semester began. We selected “Face tin sun and you will not see your shadow' for our class motto and blue and gold for our class colors. Lenore Kow and Marthelin Kincaid have taken part in ttlee Hub. All of the freshmen girls have joined the Pep Chib. The following students took pari in band: Frederick Froebel, trumpet; ('arter •lermunson, clarinet; Helen Weikum, drum. Frederick Kroebel has been the hoys' basketball manager, (‘arter Jeriminson is a substitute on the hoys' basketball team. Other freshmen boys hope to make the team next year. The freshmen class eon tri buted 1° the carnival's success by helping in the different booths. Lor- raine Hit and Marthelin Kincaid were the only girls in tin freshman class out for basketball. Ibe freshman class is probably the most self-confident class in the high school and expects to do great things in the next three years. The class officers were Carter dermimson, president; president and reporter; Helen Weikum, secretary. Lorraine Hit , vice 20 Lorraine Hit ..

By pant experience it 1ms been discovered that music is essential to form well-ba lanced t m r r i n I uni in the school. Dm to this re? is on and past prae tiros a Glee Club was again organized in tin I irmly Nigh School this year. Those wiio became members of the (ilee (Mnb were selected from the “roup by a test of their voices at the beginning of the year. This year the Glee (Mnh was under the direction of Miss Stockton. Fewer girls turned out for tryouts this year than usual In order to secure tin best results it was necessary to select girls from the seventh and eighth grades To fill tin places vacated by the absence of some of last year’s members. Because of interference of other school activities it was impossible to de- vote as much time to (ilee (Mid) as could have been done. However, during the latter part of the year it was possible to hold regular practices. a whole the girls have found that the (ilee (Mnb is a pleasant and worth- while activity. Joyce Garner.
