SEVENTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY September 16, 1935, brought two hundred enthusiastic, seventh grade people to Harding High School. After having finished the work required by the elementary schools of the westsern part of our city, we came as new people to a new school. We were bubbling over with interest, excitement, and expectation. At first we were all in a state of confusion for it took us some time to get accustomed to keeping our supplies in lockers, using com- bination locks, and changing classes. Aside from finding our places, we had to learn how to please five teachers instead of one and that was no easy task. Our teachers were: Miss Morella Polk, Mrs. Lois Beaver Summerville, Miss Rebecca Henderson, Mrs. W. T. Shore, Miss Mary Brockwell, and Miss Virginia Robinson. Our class was determined to set a high standard and live up to it, so we elected Tom Lefler, an A honor student, as president. The other officers belong to the honor society. They are: Ed. Watt, vice presi- dent. Louise Hag'er, secretaryg Jack Greene, treasurer. Norma Muse and Wallace Bunn were elected cheer leaders. Mrs. Summerville. our arithmetic teacher, was chosen to be our class advisor. We have had interesting class meetings of different types. Our activities have been varied. We have had debates, plays, and a concert. Two of the highlights of our chapel prograins were: Pan American Countries presented by some people from each home roam class and directed by Miss Virginia Robinson, and The Courtship of Miles Standish presented by home room 107 and directed by Miss Morella Polk. Our athletic activities have been: deck tennis, newcomb, hikes, games, and baseball. Miss Polk was our director in charge of all sports. More time was given to inter-class indoor baseball. Many of our girls belonged to a Junior Girl Reserve Group advised by Miss Virginia Robinson. Mrs. W. T. Shore coached a public speaking team and put on a very interesting chapel program. They gave a debate, Resolved: That Harding High Should Have Honor Study Halls. The affirmative side won. As we look back over the school year, we see one of the most enjoyable and mast successful school years of our life. Our happiness and success have been due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Hawkins, our principal, each one of our teachers, and the undivided cooperation of all of the members of our class. Page Eleven
