M s U1- , 1 1. , EQ lbllljlg whiff nh ' Q A K g Eighth Grade Class History In the fall of 1926 we entered the open doors of H. H. S. as Seventh Graders, all desiring to gain knowledge. The eighth grade class was very successful in accomplishing big things-even in making the Freshmen work to keep up with us. Great enthusiasm was displayed along all lines of student activities. We elected the following class officers: President, Elsie Boemkerg Vice-President, Anna Mary Scheppeg Secretary, Dick Rogers, Treasurer, Henry Schneider. After three months of vacation we enrolled as Eight Graders-the smallest class in the school-a group of twenty-five. Several weeks later we elected the following class officers: President, Harold Golladayg Vice- President, Frances Russell, Secretary, Pearl Gilkeyg Treasurer, Elsie Boem- kerg Historian, Anna Mary Scheppe. On December 28th we gave a skating party at the Eleventh Hour Service Station, and spent a delightful evening. If the eight graders are as loyal to their class and school next year as they were this year, although we may be the smallest in quantity, we hope to be the finest in quality that has ever worked, played, and graduated from this H.

In ff BLUE Seventh Grade Class History The seventh grade class of the Higginsville Junior High School is com- posed of thirty-six girls and twenty-eight boys. When this class was or- ganized it was not nearly as large as it is at the present time. Seventeen of our present number entered the Emerson School in the year 1922 and twenty-two of us entered the Irving School the same year. The other twenty-one joined us in the other grades. We can never forget the happy days spent in work and play while in those buildingsg but we enjoy our Junior High School work in our new building, under the present system. We like going from room to room to recite our lessons to the different teachers. We like climbing' the stairs to the study hall and attending the assemblies. We will in time, out-grow our childish ways and become more like our Senior classes, especially the Freshman who are our ideal students. But as the years go by we will mount in our ideals and the Senior class of the high school will be our goal. We hope as we proceed joyfully on our climb, that we may continue to increase our number, but most of all to increase our knowledge, so that, when we are graduated from the High School in 1933, we may leave as wise, true, and loyal citizens as our present Senior class is doing.
