High School in 1934- wh- en the class nurnbered only six: later that year, however, another member was added. So we can say the original non-drifters were seven. The next year six members entered the class, which led a peaceful, serene existence for several years until the final two members were added: Phyllis Van Huss in the sixth grade and Maurice McClain in the Freshman year. When in September, 1942, we found ourselves in high school, we had, already, an out- standing record in the first eight grades. Our many parties in the first two years of hidi school really gave us a reputation never before achieved. In our junior year with Maurice McClain for president and Mrs. Fortner as sponsor, we contributed three boys in boys' basketball, eight girls in girls' basketball, musicians, and several typists. We gave a successful play, People are Funny which we hope to surpass this year with Double Trouble. Here we are, seniors, all hoping to graduate and still contributing to basketball, mu- sic, art, commerce, journalism, and so on: as to class parties, we have always managed to have very exciting and enjoyable parties, with skating, movies, watermelon hunting, spaghetti suppers, and the like. We hope that the lower classes all enjoy themselves as much as we have. We all feel that we owe an immense debt to all our teachers and advisors during th- ese beginning years of our existence and who have prepared us for much more happiness and success in the future, and who have prepared us for the School of Life. i , . 1 n K X 1 I 4 I I i - ----' MM-- CLASS WILL Being of sound mind and body fwe hope, we, the students of the class of '46, bequeath the following to the underclassmen: To Gerald Gooch, Tom Fordice leaves the right to sleep in the assembly totally undisturbed. Evelyn Dooley wills her dear, well-worn book, How To Catch Q Man, to Lu- cindy Gordon Appleby Clodfelter, as she has no further use for it.

Or married to Van johnson, g-e-el But if you are in show business with great fame. You will probably be another Majorie Main. Maurice McClain With your bright and sunny nature COlllDlf!fl with the wealth you will attain, You will always be quite happy, And can treat the world with proud disdain. Phyllis Van Huss Your insatiable curiousty, , For which you often take the blame, Will some day lead to a discovery, That will bring you great fame. Evelyn Dooley Those curls on your forehead, Are just a beginning, Of all the beauty prizes, You're sure to be winning. Bob Van Huss You may like to pull curls, And tease all the pretty girls, But someday you'll know that was only a fake, For a right good dentist we're sure you will make. Naomi Walden With all your talking ways and smiles, We're glad to say to you, fair lady, The future holds, without a doubt, A loving husband and a. pretty baby. Dorothy Thomas Like a fairy, You shall become the president's secretary, And with many charms, Land in his son's arms. Tom Fordice Detective stories you've read and read, And some night just before you go to bed, You'll find out in very truth, x 'Ihat you've become a famous sleuth. jean Phillips Pretty clothes have always been your hobby And could anything be finer?

Robert Rusk You may think you want to be a sailor, With a girl in every harbor, But you had just well make up your mind, That you'll make your living as a. barber. Lois Gross You are capable and efficient, Of becoming a dietician, Your fortune will fill your purse, So that you may become a nurse.

Rob: Yes. but only if kindness fails. Phyllis W: fpassing the fudge, Here Evelyn, sweets to the sweet! Evelyn D: Thank you and won't you have some of these nuts? Mrs. Banta had forbidden the eating of candy and the chewing of gum during schoolti- me. One day she became suspicious of a lurnp in Bob Dooley's cheek. Bob, are you eating candy or are you chewing gum? she asked. No, ma'am replied Bob. I'm just soaking a prune to eat at noon. It was Miss Tyler's first ride in a taxi. She watched with growing alarm the driver as he continually put his hand outside the car as a signal to the traffic following. At last she said: Young man, you look where you are going and keep both hands on the wheel. I'll tell you if it starts to rain. Teacher: Parse the word kiss. Student: This word is a noun but it is usually used as a conjunction. It if never de- clined and more common than proper. It is not very singular, in that it is usually used in the plural. It agrees with me. An old Scotsman was smoking in the waiting room of a railway station. The port- er said to him: Don't you see that notice on the wall, 'No Smoking Allowed' ? Yes, I do, replied the Scot, But how can I keep all your rules? There's another sign over there that says Wear janella Corsets'. If a fellow tries to kiss a woman and gets away with it, he's a man: if he tries and doesn't get away with it, he's a brute: if he doesn't try but would get away with it if he tried, he's a cowardg but if he doesn't try and wouldn't have gotten away with it if he tried, he's wise. The stingy farmer was scolding the hired man for taking a lantern when courting h- is best girl. The very idea! I never took a lanter. I went in the dark. Hired Man: Yes, and look at what you got. The judge fsternlyj: Well, what's your alibi for speeding sixty miles an hour th- rough the residence section? The Victim: I had just heard, your honor, that the ladies of my wife's church we- re giving a rurnmage sale and I was hurrying home to save my other pair of pants. 1 I S 1 1 i i I 1 i : i i I I I i i I z I l n n I g:1,E?5-Exzgmynxiz-vrm1gf ,, -T - . hw, x...4,b,.,, - , .

Aces had only a fair record this year. The record was better than la- st but still not like it should have been. Their record is five games won and seventeen lost w- hich makes an average of 2.9.4 per cent. The scores of the games are as follows: Russellville 34 Greene 19 Bridgeton 50 Greene Z1 Waveland 61 Greene ZZ Rockville 31 Greene 18 Tangier 80 Greene 24 Bellmore ZZ Greene 40 Wallace 15 Greene 34 Bloomingdale 25 Greene 19 Rosedale 50 Greene Z1 Mecca 51 Greene 2.6 Russellville 42 Greene 12 Clinton Center 19 Greene 30 Bellmore 27 Greene 2.6 Montezuma Z4 Greene 32 Bloomingdale Z9 Greene 25 Marshall 47 Greene ZZ Clinton Center 2.2 Greene 39 The Aces were defeated in the County Tournament by Bridgeton by a score of 34 to 30 The Aces played a grand game but couldn't win. The boys missed eleven foul shots and if they could have only made five that would have won the game. In the Sectional Tournament the Aces met H- illsdale in the first game of the Tourney and were defeated by 6 points. The score was 36 to 30. The first ten consisted of three Seniors--Robert Rusk, james Irelan, Bob Van Huss, three juniors--Gordon Clodfelter, Loren Back, jerry Huxnphreys, and four Sophomores--Donald Ru- sk, Bob Dooley, Russell McCormick and Max Greene. The Senior boys were awarded sweaters for their services on the team during their school days. SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL The Greene Twp. Seconds has a good year this year with a record of 9 games won out of 17 games played. This makes an average of 53 per cent. The scores of the games are as follows: Russellville 15 Greene 22 Bridgeton 21 Greene Z3 Waveland 9 Greene 1 7 Rockville Z1 Greene 17 I r I 1 Y z I I I v , r s I 4 L M .

Baseball team did not have a very high average this last season but it is hoping to have a better season next year. The record is 3 games won out of 8 games play- ed which makes an average of 38 per cent. The scores of the games are as follows: Mar shall 7 Greene 3 Tangier 18 Greene 2 Bloomingdale 5 Greene, 4 Bellmore 1 Greene 5 Mar shall 5 Greene 4 Tangier 13 Greene Z Bloomingdale 3 Greene 5 Bellmore 0 Greene 2 GIRLS' BASKETBALL ACETTES The Greene Twp. Acettes had a very good season this year in basketball. They had a top county record--six games won and one lost which makes an average of 85.7 'Zh They started off by downing the Marshall Bobcats--28 to 9. The following night they we- nt to a strange floor for a bitter battle with a new foe, Kingman: when it ended the Acettes w- ere beaten Z5 to 16. Their second victory chalked up, was Tangier--29 to 14. Their next r- ough and tough game was with Montezuma, but as usual the Acettes ended on top with a score of 33 to 41. The next challengers were Kingman: the Acettes had vowed that they would win. and they tripped Kingman with a 10 point lead--23 to 33. Montezuma came to the Acettes' h- orne for another whipping, the score was20 to 33. The Acettes couldn't be beaten. The thrill ing season was ended by the Acettes beating Marshall 14 to 36. The second team has a 75? average---three games won and one lost. The team knows it owes all of its victories to Mr. Fechtman, a very dependable, patient, I I I I I r 1 I I I I I I I I I I I M' -- and understanding coach. I The first ten consists of six seniors: Evelyn Dooley, Naomi Back, and Phyllis White as f- orwards. jackie Harbison jean Phillips, and Naomi Walden as guardsg two juniors: Margar- et Ruth Harbison--guard and Joanne Harbison--forward: one sophomore: Margaret Fordice --guard: and one Freshman: Anita Back--forward. The first six regulars are: Evelyn Do- oley--center, Naomi Back, Phyllis White, jackie Harbison, jean Phillips, and Margaret Harb- ison. The team says that some people hang on to a rabbit's foot or a four-leaf clover for their good luck charm but it will take Mr. Fechtman's red neck-tie any old time for its good luck. He wore it starting with the second Kingman game, and from then on the tie was its official g- ood luck charm. ' Five of the six seniors have been playing together for five years, starting in the eight gra- de, and the sixth has been playing with them for four years. Four of the six were on the first team both times the Acettes won the Parke County Championship--1944 and 1945. The seniors will sure miss the old team and its fellow players but they have had very vic- torious years to remember. So, we say good by to you and wish you the best of luck for years to come. ACTIVITIES 0. N5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I 1 I I i I I I I I I DRAMATICS The graduates of 1946 left with the school pleasant memories of two successful class plays. Their junior play, presented on November 10, 1944-, and coached by Mrs. Ruby Fortner, was a three-act comedy entitled People are Funny. p The plot centered around the Budd family, consisting of jussie fNaomi Wa1den,, the ambitious mother: Kenny fBob Van Huss,, her only song john or Pop fMaurice McClain,, only her husband: Helene fPhyllis White,, her older d- aughter: and Betty lEvelyn Dooley,, her younger daughter. Winnie Wehle fDorothy Thomas, was the girl from next door and her father was Elmer Wehle fTom Fordice,. Two young men from Chicago, jack Whitman fRobert Rusk, and his friend Arthur Fairchild Uim Irelan,, were unexpected dinner guests. Three other guests at the Budd home were Florence Fairchild Ua- cqueline Harbison,, a social queen, her secretary Gladys Bliss fNaomi Back,, and her trav- eling companion. Olga Ogiuspanski Uean Phillips, Furthercomplications were caused by the a- rrival of Prudence Paine fLois Gross,, an aunt from the country, and her awful Pamela fPhy- llis Van Huss,. Their Senior production, presented on March 2.2, 1946. was the comedy Double Trouble.' This play was under the direction of Mr. Moore. Glad Bliss, played by Phyllis White, Sand- ra Soon, played by Evelyn Dooley, and Helen Wintergreen, played by Naomi Walden were the ones who started the trouble along with Lois Gross in the role of Mrs. Stratford-Smith, a d- ramatic coach. Phyllis Van Huss acted the part of Mae, the maid. Duke, an ex-fighter K.O.'d by Mae, was Robert Rusk. Lance Davis, who helped the trouble along, was acted by Maurice McClain, and Bob Van Huss as Bruce McFarlin also did his best as a trouble-maker. Lord D- elemater or jim Irelan mixed things up rather well. Jean Phillips, in the role of Pert Bliss, was in love with his Lordship. Auntie, acted by Jacqueline Harbison, was not so slow in star- ting things herself. The officer, played by Tom Fordice, was just a cop. A dash of spice in the trouble cocktail was thrown in by Naomi Back as Mildred Massingale and Dorothy Thomas as Dorothy Barringer. This year's junior class play, A Pair of Country Kids, was given on january 22, with Mrs. Moore as director. The action of the play occurred in the Starr hotel where Joanne H- arbison as Mrs. Sarah Starr was propietress. Her daughter April was played by Evelyn Goo- ch. Sis Spooner, maid-of-all-work at the hotel, was Margaret Harbison. Gordon Clodfel- ter and Gerald Gooch had the parts of Lucindy Appleby and Susan Grimes, both on the look-o- ut for husbands. Hi Hawkins, who was the village pest, was played by Loren Back. A horse doctor by the name of Ambrose Sneggins was Max Beane. Jerry Hurnphreys acted the role of Philip West, a young lawyer. Two guests at the Starr hotel who caused much confusion were Arthur Roberts fEugene Peters, and Albert Roomer QHerbert Wright,. 1 fx 1' N if ,'1.f'3 e. - 311 -ey-, '1QI?-if iff? 9' V ,,',. 4. r., ,A y.- w, . ,., , . .51 r-,J-1, 'mu , f ,NM-'iffi ' 1:-l 1 fav.

As for t- alent, that is universal too. Wherever we find children we find talent--not alw- ays cultivated talent, but the seed is sown already for harvesting. Already this year we have done some harvesting in our school. First of all we have accomplished a step in ear training by singing of scale sequences among the grade children. They can sing songs much better than at the beginning of the year. In the Sth 8: 6th grades the study of song flutes has served as ear training, n- ote reading, and rhythm study. A foundation for instruments has been laid, and more talent has manifested itself. The Band group consisting mostly of 7th and Sth grades has proved that we h- ave our allotment of talent in Greene Twp. School. They have worked hard and good results is the reward. Members of the group are: Lois Ewell, Cyrus Har- bison, Judy Hazlett, Ann Norton, Francis Wright, Claude Martin, Melvin Pressl- or, and Keith Alexander. We expect to build our band by adding another 12 me- mbers next year. We need an oboe, bassoon, trombone, saxophone, tenor andba- ritone saxophones, and more clarinets. Our goal is to acquire a membership of 2.4 for senior band. We hope to develop a junior band which will feed into an ad- vanced group thus allowing full membership as students leave school. We wantto encourage students to buy their own instruments so far as possible. The school with the help of the P.T.A. has agreed to buy a few at a time, of the more costly instruments which are not used for solo work. We have organized a beginning string ensemble group which is making avera- ge progress. It takes a longer period of time to see results with string study as it is more difficult. Members of our group are: Clara june Presslor, Velma W- right, Phyllis Bruin, Don Harbison, and Herman Beane. We would like to add at least 6 violins to the ensemble next year. We hope to have more music appreciation included in our department as soon as we can get a record player and other equipment. We can determine our rate of progress more easily when we can make a record of our own work and then d- etect our own mistakes. The equipment would include not only record makers b- ut a machine for test measurements, etc. Our chorus has taste for good music which is to be commended. We intendd- oing some Handel and perhaps and operetta next year. The members this year are: Naomi Back, Phyllis White, Naomi Walden, Phyllis Van Huss, Jean Philli- ps, Evelyn Dooley, Donna Kruse, Janice Phillips, Margaret Fordice, Wilma Hoo- d , Anita Back Grace Gibbs, Norma Magill, Carolyn Richardson, Doris Alexand- er. My goal as the present teacher of music is to lay a foundation for a well rou- nded program for the future. Dorothy Moore I I I I I I r I u I I I I A i I 1 v I I i z I I I I I . I Q v . I I I I I THE VOCATIONAI.. AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT This year the Vocational-Agriculture Department was re-established and the work which was dropped last year due to shortage of teachers was resumed . The enrollment this is the highest in the past seven or eight years. The juniors and Seniors are combined in one class of ten boys. The Freshman and Sophomo- res have fifteen boys enrolled. There has been much interest among the students in an outside farm shop to be equipped with the necessary small tools plus a forge, welder, post drill, bench saw, lathe, and others to do practical work on farm machinery. Also the extrar- oom, in which hog houses, feeders, brooder houses, and other smaller practical farm constructions are made is an important factor. The Vocational-Agriculture classes voted to take the job offered them on the proposition that they split out 500 locust posts for half. Those 2.5 boys did the j- ob in seven days' work, one and one-half hours per day. This work netted their departrnent S2.02.00. They also served a meal for a meeting held at the school building and were reimbursed to the tune of 543.00 by the commercial company after the janitor d- onated his check for the extra work he did. The mothers aided by sending cook- ies, doughnuts and cakes. 5 In the fall sale, the classes helped in soliciting and collecting the contributio- ns, and the P.T.A. voted them 5300.00 of the sales net. Are these boys indust- rious? Do they want a farm shop? Well! they raised 5545.00 for the equipment of that shop. L.et's help them get it. The class work for the 11's and 12's this year has included problems in rais- ing, harvesting, testing and grading of soybeans and wheat. This work was foll- owed in the early fall by study of culling poultry and preparing the flock and equ- ipment for winter. A few flocks were actually culled by the class. During the winter a study of Beef Cattle, Hog, and Sheep enterprises was carried. Spring brings on grain judging, poultry judging, and livestock judging projects. The class work for the 9's and 10's has included a primary study of grains and feeds and their qualities and values when used for different classes of live- stock. Supervised study of Hogs and Dairy Cattle has made up the bulk of their class room work. The judging of grains and seeds, poultry and livestock is also being carried on in preparation for district and state judging contests. For all agriculture classes the study of complete farm records in analyzing and improving the farm business is of paramount importance. 5 1 v 5 I PW m Q VOCATIONAL. HOME ECONOMICS The first experience of all individuals in sharing occurs in the home in accc- pting responsibilities, developing spiritual ideals and civic appreciation, anfl p- racticing personal and social hygiene. This dependence of society makes it imp- ortant that education in home living be provided for all individuals. The natural place for education would seem to be the home but many learning situations can be made available to a greater number of individuals through a w- ell planned school curriculum. Home and school together can provide a variety o f problem-ns, suggest solutions and provide testing and e 'aluating opportun1ties.T- he home economics program which is organized to meet the individuals capaciti- es and needs takes into account the changing values in respect to the above expe- riences giving him conscious recognition of the issues involved, contact with them and guidance in relation to them. Home Economics will provide experiences in home and social adjustments at different developmental levels. Seventh and Eight Grade: In the first semester the students have learned how to improve their habits which will help them to live more happily in their homes and with others. They spent the remainder of the semester in learning how to prepare simple foods, ta- ble service, and etiquette. Since Christmas, the students have spent all their ti- me making simple garments. Ninth and Tenth Grade: The high school Home Economics program is divided into four years I, II, III, and IV. Each year the programs alternate. Since Home Economics Program II was offered last year, Home Economics I is used this year for the ninth and tenth grades. Last semester the girls planned, prepared, and served meals. More empha- sis was placed upon preparation of individual foods at the beginning of the seme- ster and then they were incorporated into menus. In the second semester two units have been stressed--Art in Everyday Life and Clothing for High School Girls. Twelfth Grade: If advanced Home Economics is to be effective it must meet the needs and in- terests of the students. For this reason a unit in Housing and Advanced cmthing was offered. In looking forward to future Home Economics classes, the learning would be more meaningful if some new equipment were added to the departrnent. n ? I 9 1 s A A I . S r X 1 E 1 x s X w u i i 1 1 r 3 i 1 1 GRADE NEWS FIRST AND SECOND When school opened August 31, 1945 there were nineteen enrolled in the first and second grades at Greene. These were--Lou Hesler, Iviarjorie Scott, Shirley Hood, Errol McBride, Patsy Martin. Sandra Harbison, George Sewell. Robert R- ichardson. and Robert Pitzer in the first grade: Marjean Smiley. Richard IVICC- ampbell, Marlene Pyle, Mary Cheek Marjorie Davies, Martha Presslor, Judy Fechtman, Darlene Shillings, Shirley Shillings, and Gary Norman in the second. Herman Williams came to the first grade a few days afterwards. janet Star ks came to the second grade in October: we were sorry to lose her again the la- st of December. The first graders were eager to get acquainted with the ways of school life. The goal was to learn to read and write, which was accomplished after much ha- rd and tiresome work. The second graders were eager to continue where they had stopped last year. A masquerade party was enjoyed on Halloween. Games were enjoyed by all. As favors a whooee whistle was presented to each. Light refreshments were se- rved. We presented the toy band, some playlets, some recitations, and sang a few songs for the Christmas program which was in the assembly. After the program we returned to our home room. Upon our arrival we dis- covered Santa Claus had paid a visit leaving our treats on a small table near the tree. The gifts were distributed, after which we were dismissed for the begin- ning of the Christmas Vacation. School reopened for the second semester. Mr. Myers paid us a visit soon a- fterwards. He was well pleased with our work. S Herman Gorham enrolled in the first grade in january. He came fron. Greer ncastle, Ward three. Cecil Stewart entered our first grade in February. He ca- me from Bainbridge. On February 14, 1946 a Valentine party was held in our room. The valentine box was made by the teacher with the assistance of the students. Everyone was well pleased to receive a variety of valentines. Light refres- hments of ice cream and cookies were served. In the first and second grades some of our goals have been met but when we reach these, there is always a new one set to take its place. . v s I n I i I u 1 I l I f I 1 i I i .

Robert Hood came from Anderson Sc- hool and Shirley Richardson came from Waveland School. Sue Hesler had been t- he only girl in her class, all of her three school years with the exception of a few weeks in her third. Now she is happy to have Shirley with her. The fourth graders welcomed a happy industrious group of third graders who came into our room. Most of these children have been together since they started to school to Miss Hauser, better known now as Mrs. Hazlett. The enrollment of this grade is fourteen. They are joan Bruin, Madeline McCormick Harriet Mas- on, Kenneth Irelan, Robert Thomas Gary Leatherman, Ronnie Gillogly, Hazel Re- ed, janet Hazlett, Helen and Bobby Peterman. Spiegel Pitzer, and Paul Shillings joined the group in the second grade. Max Richardson, a lively little fellow came from the Waveland School. We have had only one withdrawal this year and that w- as Christine Bray who came here from Russellville School, stayed about two mon- ths and went to Bellmore School. We were sorry to lose her. Although we have had colds, flu' ', pink eye, and bad roads, we have two in t- he third grade who have perfect attendance. They are janet Hazlett and Paul Shi- llings. We have had our usual parties at school. We always have a good time at Hall- oween parties, where we dress up and guess who is who. At Christmas time we helped give a little program, had our tree and gifts in our rooms later. We didn't have a party in january but we had a most welcome visitor, Mr. Myers, ourSuper- intendent and friend. Our Valentine Party was one which we enjoyed. We had a huge box full of valentines which were read and distributed. Refreshments of ice cream and cakes were served. We have made movies to help illustrate our work and we have been working on a puppet show for our third grade Health work. We made Comic Books for the ju- nior Red Cross. Our latest project is selling seeds. Our grades have sold about ten dollars w- orth. Our slogan this year has been I'll try or I'll do my best. We have tried to do our work so that we may continue our work in a higher grade in 1946-1947. i E 1 V p FIFTH AND SIXTH In September 1944, Jimmie Alexander, Herman Beane, Phyllis Bruin, Max H- arbison, Donnie Harbison, Donald Lee Roberts, Melvin Greene, Donnie Norman,j- ames Smith, and Alice Van Hook ascended the stairs at Greene to enter Grade 5. Early i' 1945 Alice Van Hook and james Smith withdrew and entered school in A- ndersdn, Indiana. Work during the year was lightened by a masked party at Halloween, a Chris- tmas party at the Ritz Theater in Rockville, and a Valentine Box and party on F- ebruary 14, 1945. Finding that we were deficient in spelling, reading, and vocabulary we strove throughout the year to improve these deficiencies The tests at the end of the ye- ar showed some progress in meeting our shortcomings. The end of the year 1945 came with six promotions and three conditioned in Grade 6. In September 1945 the eight original fifth graders returned to occupy the seats on the North side ofthe room fPreparing for the assembly across the hall? de- signated for Grade Six. They were joined by Mildred Wrightsman, Eddie Link, Louise Martin, Jimmie jack, Martha Mason, Harold Norton, and Richard Hood fr- om Hazelwood School, Anderson in Grade 5. The year moved on apace the orig- inal fifteen remained fifteen. Work was broken into by preparation for a Christ- mas playlet to be given in the assembly. After the program in the assembly we returned to our home room for the tree and refreshments. Flu played havoc with our attendance during December and January. None were spared not even the teacher. All things must end, so we are now on an even keel so far as our attendance is concerned. On january 28, 1946 our enrollment was increased by the entrance of Betty G- orham from Greencastle in Grade 6 and Mary Gorham also from Greencastle in Grade 5. On February 19, Grade 5 welcomed back a former member, Vergie St- ewart, who had attended school at Bainbridge this year. Again on March 8, 1946 our number in Grade 5 was increased by the entrance of Charles Dean Jarvis fr- om Marshall. Our old demons spelling, reading, and vocabulary have pursued us again this year, but we are making progress against them. Our special project this yearis a booklet, Children of All Lands , to bring to our minds the obligation of us to understand and appreciate the people of other lands. The boys of the two grades have enjoyed one gperifbd of each week in the gymnasium practicing basketball u- nder the Supervisions Mr. Ransay. My Weekly Reader has furnished mate- rial for current history and geography. A break in our routine work was furnished by our Valentine box on February 14, 1946. Refreshments of ice cream and cookies were served. Much work remains to be done before April 19 when the year ends, finding us a year older, a year wiser, and ready for the grade ahead' I r i r I I I 1 x - - 1- - -mhofcen ak - JUNIOR HIGH Seventh Grade Class Officers Cy I-Iarbison-President Melvin Presslor-Vice President julia Hazlett-Secretary In the fall the seventh grade enjoyed a class party.
