-n f EDWIN SPERRY We learn the fundamentals of good citizenship We realize that while we may be presently regarded as the schools small fry. it won't be long before we can join our sophisticated upperclass brothers and sisters as the wheels of the school. Meanwhile. we accept our lot in our school life and look forward to davs beyond the first step and enjoy square dances too

MR. RICHARD WERNER MR. ROMEO MARTENS THE FIRST STEP . . . the beginning of a long journey comes when we enter our first year in Junior High. Here we are faced with new responsibilities. we are given even greater freedom. and we are treated no longer as children. but adults with minds of our own. In various classes. those of Mr. Sperry. Mr. Martens, and Mr. Werner. we learn the fundamentals of good citizenship. we are taught to stand up on our own two feet and speak our minds-all a part of growing up. By means of visual aids. we learn. we absorb. more knowledge. Our social life becomes more important. too-basketball games. class socials, and parties are a part of our school life. We learn through visual aids . . .

'w PG 15 S nfl R' NE 2 'VIrs Cam leads song just for the fun of it LET THERE BE SONG . . . let the strains of an exciting concerto fill the air while we relax and gradually forget our everyday troubles and problems. A world without music would be a dull place indeed! There would be no songs to sing, no dances to dance, and life would be dull and tiresome. to say the least! Who has never experienced a feeling of delight upon hearing a symphony, an overture. or a popular tune of today? In our own music classes, conducted by Mrs. Cain, we learn to appreciate and enjoy to the fullest this wonderful medium of expression. By records, we can hear command per- formances of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra or attend the opening of a smash Broadway musical. We get a taste of both classical composers and modern. We savor the delicate rythms of the down-to-earth simplicity of our own American folktunes. Group singing, too, is an important course in our musical menu. Mrs. Cain can enlist likely pros- pects into the Chorus or the band. In our music classes we jump from Beethoven to Bop, and we deal with both extremes. But it makes no difference whether your tastes are highbrow or lowbrow-you can still enjoy good music, you can still sing just for the fun of it. MRS RITA CAIY uf' 1:4590 lil-15-7'
