I 1930 THE NON-sea 1930 of laid? il7i'iJD6?':4dD5? -Zdiai ifliflli 3036? 57673417 Junior High Activities The Junior High School, with an enrollment of two hundred and sixty pupils, has grown rapidly during its first year. liiiany activities have helped us to enjoy our new organization. The plays have been our source of greatest pleasure. The Hallowe'en play, 'fShadows on the Moon , was our first. Closely following it was Magic Windows through which we say old and new book friends. A number of. seventh and eighth graders participated in the Christmas pantomime representing Christmas in other lands. Sixth graders were sometimes our guests. A visiting group gave a program, Safety First , introduced in a unique way by Seven One and Seven Two pupils. Our first party was fittingly a Thanksgiving party, and a beautiful and enjoyable party it was. The gaily colored balloons, the artistic hand-made turkey favors and the cafeteria in party attire were typical of the occasion. The wheelbarrow races, rooster fights, balloon wars, and strange animals will never be forgotten. The story hour was also an enjoyable feature. The next party was at Christmas time. Caroling seemed to reach the ears of a fat, jolly Santa Claus with a very familiar voice. His pack was filled with gifts and lollypops for all. A holiday atmosphere filled the air. The Junior High's first year of athletics was a success. During the basket-ball season the team won three games out of five. The interclass basketball champions are Eight One and Seven Two. The classes of Eight One and Eight Two have adopted the military formation and have to salute officers. The best tumblers are pupils from the rooms of Mrs. Spraker and Miss Schwab. We are a music-loving school. Music is becoming more and more a part of our daily school life. The girls' chorus has assisted in several programs. The orchestra began with six members and it now has thirty. The band includes thirty-five of our pupils. A resume of Junior High activities would not be complete without mentioning the art department, which has so generously supplied our library, class rooms, and halls with posters. Through these posters many of our activities have been reflected. VERA SALUSSOLIA '34. S8
