liighteen Q U55 gig QTCLCZE Eighth-graders didn't have a hard time getting acquainted with our teachers, because we knew them from last year. However, we had to get acquainted with some of the new pupils- Nancy Lanehart, janet Phillippy, Hen Greathead. and lfred Stine. Doris Harris and Frances Harmon came in about the middle of the year. Our class, of -ll members, is quite industrious, well hnmored, and talkative task the teachersj. At the beginning of the year we elected class officers, changing them every six weeks since then. XYhile the girls studied nutrition in Home liconomics, the boys in shop were learn- ing to make things from wood needed at home. Just as we were heginning to settle down to the routine ol school work, a diversion ap- peared in the shape of Army Trucks. Hundreds of them went hy in never ending lines, and we couldn't resist waving to the soldiers. Finally the lines ended, and at last the teachers had order onee more. Une week a group of our classmates had an exciting dehate over a question in a geog- raphy test. liach side presented its argumentsg then the class voted. Luckily, it was a tie, so there were no hard feelings. VVC continued from last year the writing of our class paper. Ivan Finfrock was elected to the editorship, and the paper was renamed the l'Stars and Stripes. Mysterious happenings took place during the earlier part of the year-such as windows sliding down of their own accord, hlinds flapping, thus making a distracting noise, and mice run- ning around in the cloak room. XYe had a pretty Christmas tree, with decorations, and a nice program. Anne Ziegler directed our play. Our class was well represented at the -lr. Tri-Hi-Y play, Girls of the U. S. A. Ont of the cast of seven, five were chosen from eighth grade. Although we thoroughly enjoyed our year in eighth grade, we are eagerly looking for- ward to being members of the freshman class next year. Ugg .ivanfg gzczcfa The Seventh Graders, upon entering jr. High School found quite a few changes, but soon we became accustomed to them. To care properly for onr hnsiness, we elected officers, namely, Lloyd Xlcllonald, president 3 XYilma llrowu, vice-president: lletty Mae liriner, secretary: Richard Cline, treasurer. To show what lirst-rate salesmen we are. consider the tact that we stole the champion- ship from the eighth grade in the magazine drive. Nte receivd two hoxes of candy, 'and Mr. Kaley received a handsome pen. The Halloween party was a swell one, and nearly everyone in our grade turned out. VVe had some hitter arguments with the eighth grade about which had the better Christ- mas tree, hut remembering the trouhle we had getting' ours, l think we could have won easily. The otl'icers distributed valentines on St. Yah-ntine's Day, and everyone received a few. The most surprising event ot' the year was the visit of the stork to the home of Klr. and lllrs. lialey. lint Mr. lialey didn't hand out cigars.

H. S. The school was new to many, but after the hrst few weeks, most of them got to know their way around. After the first six weeks we elected officers, and a chairman was appointed to name per- sons to read the Bible, pass the waste paper cans, take care of the window shades, and dismiss the pupils. Many freshmen obtained Curtis 'Magazine Subscriptions. Persons receiving subscrip- tions were given attractive prizes. The freshman class was divided into three sections: section A is composed of those taking Academic and a few Commercial subjects, section B, Commercial, section C, Home eco- nomics, Vocational, and a few Commercial. ln English sections we wrote short stories and read books. NVe did many interesting experiments in Science. In Civics we studied the government and did many other projects. During the Christmas holidays a pine tree, brought by some of the boys and decorated by a few of the girls, brightened the front of the room. On December 23, 1942, we held a Christ- mas party. We sang a few songs, and several stories were read. VVe then had refreshments and exchanging of gifts. Many contributed to the iron drive, the Tuberculosis Fund, the Red Cross, and the March of Dimes. Many went out for sports. The girls engaged in hockey, basketball, and gym, the boys had soccer, basketball, and gym. Almost all freshmen belong to some club. One member of the class belongs to the orchestra. Vlfe of the freshman class wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the teachers who have endeavored to aid us in our high school work.
