EIGI-ITI-I GRADE HISTORY CContinuedJ This year we considered ourselves very lucky inasmuch as we have been invited to attend many entertainments presented during assembly period in the auditorium. During the first semester we enjoyed a puppet show in the auditorium. From this we learned the effect of correct lighting on the eyes. At Christmas time we were the guests of the seniors for their Christmas program. A one-act play was presentedg and following this, Santa Claus presented each teacher with a gift. Later in the year, for a small fee we attended a magician's show. When the magician could even extract money from the ears and nose of one of the students, we were startled by his amazing tricks. One Friday morning in February we were invited to attend the sophomore program in assembly period. An enjoyable one-act play, Mrs, O'Leary's Cow, was presented. After the play Mr. McKelvey made the announcement that the cheerleaders would lead a pep meeting in prepara- tion for a decisive basketball game with Ligonier. When we heard this announcement, our hearts began to beat a little fasterg for although we had often heard the high school students cheering in assembly, this was the first time we could actually participate. Throughout the re- mainder of the period, the auditorium rang with noise. Our class has always tried to help the high school students in every way possible. We cooperate with them to the best of our ability by buying and selling tickets to all the different high school functions. This year our class was granted another privilege which no other eighth grade class had ever been given. We are to have a part in the Derrian! In order to show our appreciation to Mr. McKelvey and the high school, we shall try to promote this Derrian and contribute to its success. This school term is slowly drawing to a close, and then we shall no longer be students of the elementary grades. We shall be high school students, the Freshman Class! !

As the bell rang loudly, we hurried into the classroom early to start the new school term. We were very much pleased that the eighth grade classes were in the high school building, for this seemed to place us high above the ordinary grade school children, and when we were informed that we were now in junior high school, we seemed to assume a new dignity at once. But very soon, with the clattering of pencils, the falling of books, the ringing of bells, and the bustling confusion of the high school students going through the halls, we started our first semester in the high school building. Our class was immediately divided into two sections. In one section there are thirty-four pupils, and in the other, twenty-nine. Miss Young and Miss Vitale are the two teachers of the eighth grade, and under their direction it did not take long for disorder to be changed into order. Time Hed swiftly, and soon our period tests were over, then came the major grief of our young lives-our report cards. Some of these little yellow cards showed effort, whereas others did not. Not long after the semester examinations had been given, we took the Westmoreland Mid-Term Achievement Test. Since the eighth grade students last year did not have this test, we were greatly surprised when the papers were passed out. How different the activities were this year from the previous years! We were delighted when we learned our class was to be the first eighth grade class ever permitted to take physical education. Under Miss Boyd and Mr. Williams, the high school physical education instructors, we soon learned to play volley ball, to build pyramids, and to do many other things which were entirely new to us. Twice each week we have music in the auditorium, where we have the use of the piano. THIRTY-SIX
