Junior High The Ellensburg Junior High School has given every student in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades protection, shelter, and new oppor- tunities. New pupils, like settlers of olden days, came with a vague fear that they would be lonely, but seeing friendly teachers and stu- dents, all fears vanished and they quickly became a part of Junior High life. The Junior High School building, which l1as been in use for just three years, with its excellent facilities and fine auditorium, has been like at fortified stockade to the students. VVith sports of many kinds, numerous club activities, and a dramatic production to supplement their regular school studies, the year has been an enjoyable and worth- while one. Each student was given an opportunity to choose the club activity i11 which he is most interested, and to which he has devoted one hour each week. Eleven different clubs in which students have partici- pated this year are: Orchestra, boys' athletics, girls' tumbling, book lovers, dramatics, shop. agriculture, nature study, ne-edlecraft, person- ality, study group. Many interests have been aroused by the weekly activity period. A The Junior High School has been fortunate in having a select and competent faculty, headed by Mr. Jess Mills, as principal.
