Rodman Clement, Robert Wilcox By Main' JANE Mmxan June, 1947-One evening be- fore the close of school, four eighth graders, Jane, Shirley, Bill and Jerry, were sprawled over the furniture in Jane's liv- ing-rooni. The girls were at- tempting to do their homework while the boys were stuffing themselves with pop and candy. Their conversation turned to high school and college. You know, said Jane, eighth grade prepares us for high school. It gives us an idea of what to expect in our fresh- man year. Speaking of high school, what course are you taking? asked Shirley. Well, answered Jerry, I'll have to take a college entrance because I want to learn mechani- cal engineering. That's strange, spoke Jane. To go to a school of nursing I have to take a college entrance course also. I wonder, just what is this college entrance course? It's this way, said Bill. You .nust take the subjects required by the high school. When you choose yeur college, you then take the subjects needed to meet its requirements. I don't want to go to college, stated Shir- ley. Isn't there some other course I can take? Jerry explained, Many peo- ple want to take art, shop, or homemaking. John is going to take agriculture. A business or general course is what Ann wants to take. Because of a variety of aims like this, many different courses are offered. In this way one is further helped in deciding what he wants to to do after school. This may range from school teaching to engineering. We're lucky, said Jane. Eighth grade prepares us for high school and high school pre- pares us for the world, where we will be on our own. Yes, added Shirley as the group rose from their chairs, eighth grade starts us on our way looking ahead.

VALLEY BUGLE IUNE, 1947 21 Seventh Grades Spend Busy Day February 6-Today, Thursday began with an assembly pro- gram. lt happened to be the Quiz Kids , broadcasting from the stage in the auditorium. One of the seventh graders, Phoebe Torrance, won second prize. The gal is clever! Luckily the program was long so the usual second period study hall was cut short. From there students ambled to 214 for social studies in which they are mastering the facts of the hist.ory and govern- ment of New York State. They enjoyed making maps and doing the current events test in Young America magazine. Next came math where they struggled for forty minutes with per cents. Everyone was pre- pared, so Mr. Jackson was very pleased. They really do try! Fifth and sixth periods were spent in English class. Today students didn't mind the double period because Mrs. Trombley played the records, Christmas Carol, made from Dickens' fa- mous story. Having already studied the story in class, they especially enjoyed h e a r i n g Slcrooge and the Cratchits come to life. There was not any time wasted getting down to the cafeteria for lunch. Slips obtained at roll call made it certain that there would be food for all. tOne of the seventh graders, Lulu Stein- fatt, works in the cafeteriaj. It was refreshing to have the break at noon between two per- iods of English. As usual seventh and eighth periods were spent in 216 where everyone studied diligently t?J in order to be ready for tomor- row. Having been too busy all day to get into trouble, at three o'c1ock most of the students de- parted happily for home. Two boys' teams went to the gym for an intramural basketball game, the bulletin board committee stayed to labor over a rather complicated art project, and one poor unfortunate went to the extension room because she had been tardy. All in all, it has been a good day. Copy Boys Enjoy Junior High Program 1 1 1 1 1 TOP PICTURE- First Row: William Overfield, John Walker, John Howard.
