The Eighth Grade history to some people wouldn't be much different from other classes. But we Eighth Graders think that we have a very peculiar background. Most of the children in the Eighth Grade have been together from first grade on up, but each still treats the other like a brother. In the fifth grade the room got to be so big that it had to split up, and it has been that way up to now. Each room has its own opinion of the other room, but yet the two stick together. When the class had the election this year, everyone was pulling for someone else. But when all had voted, Pat Kinder had become Student Councilorp C. Schramm, who's been in with the class a long time, came up with Vice-President and L. Loseman, also an old member of the group, came along and took the Eighth Grade Presidency. Some of these children are getting into trouble frequently, but still they are a nice group, when you come down to earth, be- cause everyone can't be an angel all the time. When we came into this class, we thought that we owned the world, just because we were going to graduate into high school at the end of the year, but we learned differ- Page Twenty-Ofne Eighth Grade ently, for before we graduate We have to be fit. There were many new comers this year, but when We got to know them they seemed to have been with us from the first of the year. Some have contributed to the brillance of the Eighth Grade. The most unfortunate thing happened to our class president of last year. He had to move and now he has to go to a school called Iennings. We all wish that he were here. When all these people were back in the sixth grade they had a hard time keeping time so they bought a clock with the money they had. At the end of the year they left it for the teacher. However, he is in the armed forces now. When Miss Gehring had a small play, there were many people out of the Eighth Grade who had very important parts in it, so you see there are really some actors who are very good tthey think? out of the Eighth Grade. There is not much you can say about the history of the class, because after you get from one grade to another you try to forget what a horrible time you had working in the grade before.

Very few of the pupils in the Seventh Grade were together in kindergarten and the first grade. Most of the class has been attending Fairview since the fourth or fifth grade. The class is made up of thirty-seven pu- pils. The girls have a hard time holding their own, being outnumbered almost three to one. An example of the power of the boys is apparent in the officers of the class. They are I. Heuer, President: L. Cochran, Vice- President: Pt. Harvey, Secretary: R. Cottner, Secretary-Treasurer and C. Viviani, Student Councilor. There are quite a few mischiefmakers in the room. The main one may be seen in the detention room every night or so. On coming into the high school l believe that most' of the students felt rather shy, and out of place, because of the many different rules and regulations. After the class got used to the change, the inferiority complex vanished. We now, proudly feel we are a part of Fairview High. As for talent in the Seventh Grade it has been widely distributed among the children. Most of the talent displayed is musical, how- ever, as we have not had a chance to show our acting avility. Page Twenty-Three Seventh Grade The class still remembers Miss Gordon, and is glad to have her back, even if she is no longer its teacher. The seventh grade is interested in a wide variety of subjects. In intermural sports the class had boys' basketball and baseball teams coached by Mr. Hill and a girls bas- ketball team coached by Miss Hirsch. There is also a first aid class which meets after school and is instructed in bandaging, artificial respiration and other emergency care by Mr, Hill. The seventh grade has also participated in other Red Cross pro- jects by donating money, knitting and serv- ing in any way possible. Whenever the opportunity to help the school was presented to them the seventh grade cooperated fully. This was evident in their help in the scrap and paper drives and in their willingness to buy war stamps and bonds. The children are looking forward to their graduation in Ianuary, l945. The class is trying to conduct itself in such a way so that the high school will be proud of it. We hope that we will be successful in our efforts.
