, jars,-Q .big . , 1' 'if'-2 T History of the Junior High School In September, 1928, it was decided to combine the seventh and eighth grades into a junior High School. There were to be three rooms and three teachers. lt was to be departmentalized, and one teacher would teach all the pupils one subject. The teachers and their respective subjects are as follows: Mrs. Everts-English, I.iterature, and General Language: Mrs. Hill, History and General Scienceg Miss Heffernan, Arithmetic and Geography. The other minor subjects were divided among them. The eighth grade was divided into two parts the first half of the year. One division is made up of those pupils with the higher averages, the other di- vision being made up of the opposite. Most of the pupils of the former took Regents in all subjects except English in january. Those that pass the Re- gents take high school subjects in their places. During the second half of the year there are two seventh grades and only one eighth grade. Those pupils in the seventh grade who have the best. averages and pass geography in january are put in a room by themselves while the others are kept separate. This plan has enabled the quick learning pupils to go ahead as fast as they wish. The girls and boys have been very glad to become a part of the Hamilton High School. They have taken part in the chapel periods, mass meetings, exhibits, and social activities. This is the first year that the junior high school has had a part in the Hamiltonian Both girls and boys of all divisions have had basketball teams and played among themselves. The boys have also had baseball and football teams. These teams were supported by their respective divisions as loyally as the high school students back their teams. When the junior high school plan was introduced, the teaching of two new subjects was begun. They were for those of the eighth grade who passed Regents in january. The subjects were General Science and General Language. The junior high school has had parties at the end of the year. They have given plays for the school entertainment. Altogether, the junior high school plan has been a great success. M. LANG, 7th grade. Twenty-four
