THE FRESHMAN CLASS Hrs is the largest class in the school at the present time and perhaps its size causes the mem- bers to be seen everywhere, doing all sorts of things. Needless to say they are a peppy group of boys and girls. The class boasts several good ath- letes and school spirit evinces that the entire group is athletically-mind- ed. The girls serve as excellent rooters for their boys and spur them on to victory. Dramatic ability is very evident in the freshman class. When occasions arise needing special speakers, the members of the ninth class are very often chosen to do this Work. A great number of these boys and girls have conducted radio programs, or have recited poems on these programs. A freshman girl, Mary Jean J orae, rep- resented the school in a recent speech demonstration for junior high schools in Dearborn. As a class perhaps the freshmen have not achieved prominence, but as individuals they have attracted a great deal of attention. When they become older and begin to assume more responsibilities, it seems certain that this individual prominence will be replaced by class prominence. KEY TO PICTURESVON OPPOSITE PAGE 1.

THE EIGHTH CLASS LTHOUGH we have humorously tagged the eighth class the baby class, we must now qualify our statement, for they have indeed shown signs of growing up. A class that is the youngest in years often has a problem on its hands, when it is forced to buck against the remarks and attitudes of the older students. However, we respect these coming leaders, because they have shown consistent and noticeable im- provement in all their eHorts. In this, their first year of declama- tions, they displayed remarkable tal- ent and we were surprised at the ease with which they delivered their ora- tions. One can see that they are learning to cultivate poise and assur- ance already. The eighth class also has an able cartoonist amongst them, for one little lad made a clever draw- ing for the cover of a scandal sheet that we published. The older classes are not the only ones who have talent in vocal solos, for there is a young lady in this baby class, Catherine Miller, who has a charming voice, and many times she has been an indi- vidual performer on our broadcasts. This group of students recently fin- ished a project in connection with the Village and museum, where they completely furnished the little Log Cabin in the Village. The pupils made an extensive study and research into this matter, and are to be com- plimented for this work so well done. Many new things lie before the babes,', and if they continue to tackle their future problems as they have tackled the ones which con- fronted them this year, We can expect to hear big things about them.
