Dear Mr. Dugan: Do you remember the naughty class you used to teach? We are now studying hard, hoping to graduate into high school next year. Shall we tell you something of our class? We now number fifty-two. The two new members of our class are Ted Apple-man from McConnelsville and Faye White from Pennsville. The hoys are in Mr. Snide's homeroom and Miss Snell is in charge of the girls. We are sad to report the death of Clarence Corbett who died suddenly in October. Clarence was noted for his cheerful disposition and pleasing personality. We are inclined to be musical. Bonnie Levering, Robert Lawrence, Russel Hull, Jim Freriks, Bob Brannon, C E. Tatman, and Mary Eloise Hawk are members of the Senior Band, while eight of our students are in the Junior Band. Martha Bowers is our accomplished accordianist. She has entertained us many times this year. Donna Ruth Price has appeared on the radio several times. On February 12th our sch x ] presented an operetta, Taffy Ann.” Ruth Ann Eveland and Robert Lawrence played the leading parts. This minstrel was very well received by the public. We have taken an active part in various school activities. Bob Brannon and Donna Ruth Price represent us in Student Council. The boys won the Student Council sales tax contest with $100. The next event on our calendar will be an all sclvxil party to be given this month. We wish you could be with us for this “big affair. All of us are looking forward to your return to dear old C. H. S. Your mischief makers, C. H. S. Eighth Graders. SEVENTH GRADERS BEAT THE DRAFT, ENLIST IN HIGH SCHOOL AFFAIRS Our class is proud of its members in the Junior and Senior band. We have eight who are in the Junior band: Patty Joe Heskett, Bob Rice, Billy Cundiff, Caroline Mclntire, Carol Darling, and Billy Cundiff, our pianist, and Carol Lee Williams, our talented artist, are bound to go places with their accomplishments. Our class romeos, Billy Roush and Maurice Fauley, are having quite a time battling for their Juliets, who are not only in the seventh but also the tenth graders. On February 12, the students of Junior High presented an Operetta entitled “Taffy Ann. Part of the cast from our room were: Pat, Taffy Ann's brother, David French; John, Pat's companion, Keith Brown; Neil, the candy man, Billy Cundiff; girls of the slums, Rosie Atkins and Caroline Darling, and the chorus. Billy Cundiff won a pair of skates when he wrote an essay on How To Make Our Streets And Highways Safer ? Good work, Billy. Our outstanding characteristics are well shown by Rosie Atkins, who is always talking; Carol Darling, who always escapes the tardy bell by inches, and Keith Brown, who drank pop, pop and more pop at the Hi-Y dance.

Our Future Recruits 1. We're the first grade of the North School. Undoubtedly, our most outstanding talents were revealed when we took part in the annual North School assembly at the High School. 2. Are they afraid on just shy second graders? Maybe it's the photographer? 3. One of our second grade classmates, Glee Showers, gave the closing lines of the North School program. Many of us sang in the chorus. 4. It seems Eddie He Kips will defend anyone there or at least try. Why doesn’t someone take him up on it? 5. Our mascot is in the picture with us. All the teachers think we will make promising high-school students. 6. Some seem to he attracted to other things. We're going full speed ahead for greater ranks! We t xik part in the East School Assembly, mainly our classmates, Rex Luster and Marjorie Donaldson. 7. Attention! We are the seniors of the North School. We have worked hard these four years, and we hope we can continue our accomplishments when we enter high school, as the class of 1950. 8. We help the sixth grade, with the safety patrol. Ruth Moore, our talented fellow student, plays the trumpet and sings as our contribution to the assembly. 9. Smiling sweetly, the first grade pose for a picture. With such willing and seemingly intelligent people we expect to accomplish much. 10. No elaborate plans give us a send-off when we graduate from the East School and go to the Junior High.
