GALLAMO Cfhe Gallatin union High Schcml HE Gallatin Junior High school was organized in September, 1924, with seventy pupils enrolled in the two classes, under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Ferguson as principal and Miss Mary Florence U'Toole as assistant. The two classes enjoyed many more privileges during the year than either ot' them would have as separate grades. The classes each strove to surpass the other in all work undertaken, but worked to- gether excellently for tl1e good name cf their new organization. Subjects required in the Junior High were Mathematics, English, liiterature, Gergraphy, History, Hygiene, Spelling, Government and Peninanship. A Junior High Library was established, containing four hundred and ninety volumes ff the woi ks of the best known authors and poets. These were shelved, catalogued and kept in order by the librarians, elected by the student body. Georgia VVhite, Marguerite McDowell, Mary Martha McCrary, ct' the eighth grade and Irene Smith and Frances Scott of the seventh grade acted as librarians. A number ot' books were added during the year. A Meissner, Hbaby piano, was purchased by tl1e school to be- come the property of the Junior High and was placed in o11r assembly loom. lt at once became very popular 11ot only with our pupils, but with those ot' the Senior High as well. Music was added to the pro- gram with Gcorgia NVhitt of the eighth grade as pianist. A girls' quartet was organized during the year. lt was composed of lrene Arnr ld, Georgia Whitt, Sarah Etta Chapman and Louise Whitt. The P. E. U. Music Memory contest, conducted each year in the graniniar grades, was won by the pupils in grade seven of Junior High with a grade of 99.93 per cent. The chapter presented the grade with a beautifully czlcred picture of The Flower Girl of' Holland, which hangs in our assembly. Instead of the two fifteen-minute recess periods as in the lower grades, the Junior High had one thirty-minute recreation period. This period was given over to supervised play and games. During the year fifty-five pupils received the State Athletic Badge, after having successfully passed the badge test requirements of the state. Most 14. er- X -,r ows
