t Our eighth grade started the year off with forty-three boys and forty-six girls. The average age is fourteen years. There are two home-rooms: Eight A and Eight HB . The A group consists of students interested in Band, Orchestra, or Mixed Chorus: some students taking advantage of all three. All students participate in English, Social Science., Mathematics, Science, Music, and Art classes. All boys have Industrial Arts Class while the girls are in Home Economics class. For Physical Education we play Mushball, Soccer, and Tag Football, outdoors, when the weather permits.

Our life is just a great big plan, So important to modern man. If it were not for this, Many of us could not exist. Successful activities are planned ahead. Some people are sorry, who wait instead. Their parties go down with a great big flop, Like a tired worker just out of shop. The plans for a house must be ready indeed, When the carpenters start with alarming speed. If they weren't your bedroom might be in the hall, How convenient for those who call. You have no plans of a birthday cake, So you throw everything in and put it to bake. When it is cut you find ketchup and spice, And instead of icing. a layer of rice. So plan your hours with accurate precision, You'll find your success is not just a vision. Your work will seem done in advance, Your favorite book will get more than a glance. Nancy Warren

'7oaz'Z4Zl With only tive lettermen, Richard Bretz, Don Faller, Boyd Eaglen, Gordon Aikens and Howard Wilkinson returning from the 1944 team, prospects for the football team this year did not appear too bright. However, Walter Harrington, Harry McQueeney, Bill Scallen, Bill Sheehan, Otto Wendell, Dave Witherow, Walter Dearborn, Dick Yost, Wally Stanley, John Kaminski, John Langer and Milton Dougan were on hand for open- ing practice, and through their willingness and co-operation worked in with the five expenienced men to form a line team. With the squad intact, the Huskies marched through to four straight triumphs. In the Corry game, Dick Bretz broke a hand, put- ting him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season, and this loss, along with a similar injury to Harry McQueeney in the following game, probably cost the Huskies the championship. The all-round play of Don Faller was especially outstanding throughout the season, and Don will long be remembered as one of the finest backfield performers in County League football. Bretz, a converted tackle, gave Don ample support in the ball-carrying duties. In the forward wall the play of Dave Witherow, Boyd Eaglen, Walter Harrington, and Howard Wilkinson, combined with the fine spirit of Walter Dearborn, Bill Scallen, Gordon Aikens and Milton Dougan gave us a rugged charging and hard line. Bill Sheehan and Otto Wendell were very capable line replacements while John Langer, John Kaminski, Harry McQueeney, Wally Stanley and Dick Yost rounded out a well balanced backlield. Faller, Bretz and Wilkinson were three fine representatives of our school in the annual Lionls Club All-Star game.
