EIGHTH GRADE We, the eighth grade class of 1953, consisting of twenty-one members, have taken part in many worthwhile and successful activities. We have had class meetings on every other Friday. Our class officers are as follows: President-----------Herbert Schweitzer Vice President------Marvin Hansen Secretary-----------Amelia Lyon Treasurer-----------Merry Jean Hurteau Our motto is “Now or Never”; the flower, the rose; and our advisor, Mrs. Van Buskirk. In October, we helped make the school float for the “Sesqui-Centennial”. At Halloween we made some decorations for the school party held at the gym. In November we had a bake-sale, and for “Thanksgiving” we made a mural on the bulletin board. It was called “Pilgrims Landing”. December was, as usual, a busy month. We had a Christmas tree and a Christmas party with the seventh grade. We also made a miniature pipe organ with a choir of angels. A picture of it was featured in the “Oneonta Star”. January found us selling Kwik-Kuts. We contributed $3 from our treasury for the “March of Dimes”. In February we made a valentine Sunshine box for a sick member. We are looking forward to a pleasant field trip which we have planned for early spring. This, all too soon, will be followed by regents and our graduation, which means the end of our grade school life.

Coleman Freshmen President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Advisor William Bresee Dorothy Turney Richard Conklin Willard Davis Mrs. Loretta Coleman The Freshmen have had only one money making activity this year, a bake sale. However, many of these students are active in sports and dramatics. Five of the boys went out for football, Bill Bresee, Bill Davis, Richie Mistretta, Dick Conklin and James Campbell. Then Dorothy Turney and Susie Renwick went out for J. V. Cheerleading and all the boys played basketball. This spring all the boys plan to play baseball. It seems that the ’-’future hope” of H. H. S. is in the Class of 1956! Bill Bresee 27

The seventh and eighth Grades were responsible for the “Old School” float which the school entered in the parade. With the help of the Agriculture Class and many others we were able to get it ready. Although it did not win a prize, it was an educational project and helped us to realize how much schools have improved since the early 1800’s. Late in October we took part in the “School Presidential Election” which was sponsored by the Freshmen Class. We regis- tered on “Registration Day’s” and cast our ballots on “Election Day”. Before Christmas Vacation, we had fun making reproductions of Christmas designs which we took from old Christmas cards. These were put up in the Eighth Grade room as part of the decorations, after we had en- joyed looking at them for several days. During the drive for funds for the March of Dimes, we voted to give to it a sum of money from our Class Treasury, In these ways and by studying the devel- opment of democracy in Our State we hope to H Ly0ns, R.Gage,R.Campbell.M.Jones 29 be better fitted to take our places as good citi- zens in the future.
