' GNSKD Honorable Mention, Poetry Contest My Last Doll By HELEN DAVIS, 7A Down in the depths of an old trunk 'Neath clothes, 'ctures and 1u.nk, There lay a doll? My Last Doll. Its clothes were musty, And old and dusty, And many a day had it lain there, But it had known some tender care. It had lain in some arms Who had sheltered it from harm And now it was put away Q 'Till some day, Some tender hands would get it out., It was a doll My Last Doll l QJQWD . Food Classes The seventh grade foods class consists of planning and serving breakfast menus. The eighth grade girls spend their time in plan- ning and serving luncheon menus while in the ninth grade we follow a varied pro- gram. The :tirst semester is composed of serving and planning dinner menus. The second semester. invalid cookery, market- ing, and fancy cookery. History HE last semester of the seventh grade we take up history. We started with the ages of mankind and the great ex- ploration. Following this we took up the diEerent periods, arts, the rise of nations, the growth of trade, and then Europe be- came interested in the East which taught men to plan for a new way to get to India. This lead to the forming of the 13 colonies. Our eighth grade history class started out reviewing the explorers, and how new lands were discovered by adventuresome, courageous, men. We learned about the settlements and the Declaration of Inde- pendencef' The Americans sent this to the king, and war began. Washington cour- ageously led his countrymen to victory after struggles in which the characters of men were tested and tried as never before, Washington had as his task the estab- lishing of a new goverment. Adams was not as successful as Washington, due to his many prejudices. England and France in- terferred with our trade, causing J eiferson no little concern. When Madison took the helm he had to declare war which ended in our victory. After Lincoln's election came the Civil War. After the war, our country had to be reconstructed. The North and South became friends, but there were still bitter feelings. Vera White, 8A Virginia Troy, 8A QIQID General Language In the study of General Language many things are included. Among these are try- outsin Latin and French, both covering a period of three weeks each. After this we had experiments on the origin and nature of language in general. Ourlanguage, English, is our background so a review of the most common grammar rules is made. At the end of this course brief try-outs in German and Spanish are given in Academic groups in preparation for eleventh grade language work. The relationship between English and other languages is always stressed . This proves a very interesting study and widens know- ledge. Marilyn Muentener, SA

In Valley League play. the boys won 5 and lost 5, beating Handy twice, South, Eastern, and Webber each once.
