Dear Diary: 1951-1952 (7th Grade) The day has finally arrived, we are 7th graders. In Sept. 1951, we came from north, south, east and west to begin our first year at Flemington Jr. High School, There were 56 students entering into Flemington as 7th graders and (boy did tne 8th graders think we were green), 'jfe wer3 all a little scared at first and inocantly traveled the halls the first fev; days» but after we get acquainted with the faulty, the other students and the building itself that all changed We were very glad to lenru that Vr?n Oardot and. Corbin ware cur class sponsors, hut Mr» Corbin ’-rent into service and Mrs . K-imp .cry: replaced him for a while and then Mi . hwseker replaced Mrs, Kurphoryj ptn-3i.u-ent.ly, but by that time wo wore sc confused in our school wox-k that we c'.idnft know A fron Z‘' about it, but Ur. Swecker soon straightened us out ar.d we got back in tne familiar routine of school work. One big event of the year was our assembly program, which was our first performance in front of a large group. Another highlight of the year was our class party. We had a weiner roast on the Athletis Field. I think that was one night that everone got filled with hotdogs. When time for the inter-class tournments rolled around, we choose black and white for our class colors and Pari hers for our name. In the class tournments both our boys and girls team lost, (I think we needed a few of the players from the 7th grade of 5?). We vren for best cheer- leaders in Jr. High and we were very proud of our three cheerleaders who were Nancy Johnson, Charlene Blake, and Pauline Devart. At the close of our first year at Flemington Jr. High, we were all eagerly waiting for our return when we would be in the 8th grad® . 1952-1953 (8th Grade) Dear Diary: In Sept. 1952, we returned to Flemington to begin our second year in Junior High School., We had 50 students enrolled on our class roll, six less than had started with us on our adventure in the 7th grade. Our sponsors this year were Mrs- Johnson and Mr. Hal Findley.' (boy did we live rough those nine months), but we enjoyed every minute of it especially our class party. One highlight of the year was our assembly program, which wae held in honor of Halloween, Oct, 31« We tried to frighten everyone with our goast and Subline and come to think of it we 'did. In the inter-class tournments, our girls were really soma basketball players. They defeated the ,'th and 10th grade girls, but our boys were defeated the first evening. This year in the tournments our class won fr best cheering section in Jr, High. • — n r' summer vacation and next year we - —“ — n .Senior
