History On the 8th of September, 1931, fourteen meet.: little Freshmen climbed the high school stairs and bashfully entered the seemingly large Assembly. It took them several days to become accustomed to so many bells. I'he first class period seemed never to end, for the fifteen minutes of recitation that they had been accustomed to changed into a dreadfully long hour. Days went by in which laughs and jeers met them on all sides. Initiation came and went while things gradually became more peaceful. Those v?ho under-went these hardships were as follows: Ronald Morgan, Virginia Peck, Duane Williams, Clifford Pristine, Janette Ekola, Margaret O'Brien, Martha Lilley, Coralene Varney, Patricia Balden, Ruth ore'r, Donna Dorey, Charlotte Hollenback, Lou is Philpott, Lola Pope joy, and Erma Quigg. Walter Morgan joined their ranks two weeks later. Three of these members, Erma yuigg, Walter Morgan, and Ronald Morgan left us toward the end of the year. Several class meetings were held dur- ing the year in which parties were planned, officers were elected, and the class colors: Blue and Gold and the Class motto: Sailing Along, were chosen. The end of the year saw all the Freshmen re- joicing at the pro's oect of being Sophomores in 1932-33. Things went much more smoothly in the Sophomore Year and most of the Sophomores went out for Declamation m which Virginia Peck placed third. Although Ronald and Walter Morgan did not attend school regularly, Mary Ellen Phillips and Tom Gregory made up for their absence.

SENIOR BOOSTER . . Grade Notes y • s ’ , At the opening of the school term this year we found our grade attendance slightly smaller than last. The primary room had an en- rollment of nineteen; the intermediate grades, twenty-three; and the upper-grades, sixteen. Since that time six new pupils have brought our total to sixty-four. The grade school faculty is composed of Miss Ferguson, upper- I grades; Miss Shierson, intermediate grades; and Miss Walker, pri- , mary department. Miss Ferguson again taught art throughout the grades. The | pupils have been instructed in an appreciation of many famous paintings aside from the regular art construction work. '•The boys and girls of the intermediate and upper grades have had an opportunity to take manual training and sewing this year. Mr. Mattill instructed the boys in manual training, while Miss Walker has taught the girls sewing. The girls are completing a baby-layette as their major project of the year. This will be exhibited at the County Fair in Lewistown this fall. Miss Shierson has taught gradeschool music this year. Much of the music time was devoted to preparation of the special musical programs presented by the grades. In the upper grades a particular study was made of the History of American Music and Composers which was correlated with an appreciation course. The Intermediate sec- tion made a special study of Instruments of the orchestra. The big event of the year in the primary room was a Spring Festival. Invitations written by the third grade language class were sent to the mothers of the pupils, and to the first graders of next year and their mothers. The program was planned to show the work of the three grades for the year. The third graders gave reports on foods studied in Geography during the year. After each report, the food, whose story had been told, was served, A delightful lunch was thus served.
