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.

BLUE sw BIRD 4' PAGE 50 Great Men in History--Old and New Patrick Henry was a great statesman, So I'll learn about him all I can. For I have heard some people say, They wished more were like him today. And yet, there still are others, too. George Washington, for me will do. For he was a great leader brave, And the American homes, he helped to save. Next comes Paul Revere, He was a man who knew no fear, He warned the people and their horses they mounted Then the British army soon was routed. Yet, too you must not forget, Lincoln also with me makes a hit, Through his honesty, he, a great name made, For later he was called Honest Abe . But Lindy is the best, , He sure did beat the rest 3 Although Washington crossed the Delaware, Lindy crossed the Atlantic in air. -ANNA MAE CAROTHERS. -4511? L ,gwg W gl, it
