With two years of Garrett Junior High behind them, the 8 Pointers are preparing themselves for high school entrance. They have concen- trated much time and effort toward planning their high school courses, which are based on the type of study and work they wish to pursue. To these students a number of courses and subjects are available. Their choice depends largely upon the interests and abilities they have shown during previous school years. A College course prepares students for advanced training, including more mathematics, language, and science than the other courses. To acquaint students with business life, Garrett High School ' s Commercial course affords a chance for them to gain a knowledge of shorthand, typ- ing, and bookkeeping. Industrial Arts course equips boys with knowl- edge and skills in manual arts and mechanical drawing. In the Home Economics course, girls are taught cooking, sewing, and the fundamen- tals of home management. As a pro- gressive measure, the Agricultural course provides careful study of the best and latest methods of farm care, and production. Students are advis- ed and directed individually by their teachers in maki ng choices of their courses. With these years as spares com- plete, the eight pointers look forward to entering the Senior High School, where they will ration their interests not only scholastically but also socially. 21

Freshmen hold a very definite po- sition in Garrett High School life, and if they were Too Young to Drive they were learning the ways of high school life and how to ration their time and talents to the best advan- tage. When they become ration book holders, these freshmen will know how to make the best use of their op- portunities and will further the glory and sportsmanship of G. H. S. Everything was very different to these newcomers, when they enter- ed high school, and they were per- haps awed by what they saw and by what they were to do. Never before had they to contend with what x • — • v — 2 equals, or with how many legs a centipede has, or with the meaning of memoria teneo, but these stu- dents learned fast and have become masters of many situations. Guid- ance periods gave the freshmen a time to discuss useful topics among themselves and with their advisers. Some of these topics were: How to Study, What is Good Citizenship, and The Qualities of Real Friend- ship. Throughout G. H. S. freshmen have blended into the atmosphere of student life, and have established themselves as up and coming citi- zens. Freshman girls sold war bonds and stamps, freshman boys played on Garrett ' s athletic teams, and the band was well supplied with fresh- men. Mr. Woodcox, Miss Macklin, and Miss Haffner were sponsors of the class; and Joyce Barnes, Edwin Mor- torff, and Ned Schlosser were home room presidents. 20

In these days of rationing, seven points are comparatively few, but evaluation increases with time and demands. As seventh graders, these pupils still have much to attain, but by the time they are full fledged ra- tion book holders they will have gained the experiences and knowl- edge necessary for the tasks con- fronting them. When these spares registred as junior high students, they met new worlds to conquer. With diligence, conscientious efforts, and sympathet- ic guidance they have approached one point nearer their goal. Many of them have demonstrated various abilities and qualities which lead to success and happiness. In the intra-school athletic contests the junior high teams learned the value of team work, cooperativeness and good sportsmanship. In their classroom activities, not only did they acquire subject information and abil- ity to think and to reason, but also did they discover the values of ac- cepting responsibilities, thus prepar- ing themselves for the days when they will become book holders. 22
