Before that they had a welnle roast at Bennett park. In March the pupils had a St. Patrick's party and at the end of this year they will have their picnic at Pine lake. Olivet. There are several girls who have been cut for buskctbull and all Interclusa sports. They ure; Twila Haines. Glenna Mae Snyder. Joan Barnes, Katherine Conley. Anns gene Carroll. Louise Will- ard. and Jo Ann Parker Although the boys aren't allowed to compete for sports, some of them shall be a great help in the future on the varsity teams. Miss Winifred Wells. Mrs. Marie Taylor, and Mrs. Looru Weymouth have been the class ad- visers. The officers elected for the seventh grade were: president. Calvin Csatlos; vice-president. Zahn Tuckey; secretary. Robert Hart; and treas- urer. Jimmy Thornton. Upon the announcement of the W. K. Kellogg l»ook drive, the seventh graders organized them- selves. Both the 7A and 7H groups divided up Into separate teams, the Imys against the girls. The reward for the victors was a picnic given by the two losing teams. Thus, under the capable leadership of Mrs. Marie Taylor, the 7B group with a team of thirty- three. turned in 1101 old books; while the 7A group with 54 members, presented the school with 1602 books. So the seventh grade merits reward and recognition for their work that will give the Charlotte high school library over 500 new books.
