Representatives. The biggest social event of the year was a Christmas party held in the cafeteria on December l7.After all had received gifts and had refreshments, the class began its Christmas recess in the proper holiday spirit. Although having good times themselves, these students didn't forget that many others in the world are not as fortunate as they. Inspired by actual snapshots of hungry European children taken by their teacher, the children showed a fine, generous nature in sacrifi- cing to contribute money to buy a CARE package. They were the first group in the school to reach this goal. In connection with this and their study of business CLASS OFFICERS and friendly letters, several groups wrote letters to American children who are with their soldier fathers in Germany and also to some Genman children. Such activities gave many of the class members ideas for their essays on Americanism which were written when the class participated in the contest sponsored by the American Legion. The winner whose essay was submitted to the County contest was Mary Laks. The second best essay in the boy's division was written by James Bogucki. Junior candidates for the Hollywood W0scarn made their appearance when the Eighth Grade presented a one-act play, WIt's the Simple Lifed on April 9. Although rehearsals were interrupted by Easter recess, the co mittees worked very efficiently on properities, costuming, etc. On March 19 the county spelling contest was held in H.C.S. Eight menu bers of the class participated. Geraldine Potter was among the last four to go down. Her obstacle was the word Nconsciencen. The final activity of the year was an outing at Emery Park where much fun and frolic took place. Theresa Matuszak Walter Lewis Jack Kirkby 23

A better understanding of our community life was the core of the seventh grade curriculum for this year. Visits to points of interest in the community and talks by town officials helped to make this study practical and meaningful. The class is indebted to Supervisor Harold Haws and Justice of the Peace Donald Moore who gave freely of their time to visit the social studies classes and explain the duties of their respective offices. Two events stand out as highlights of the year's activities. They are the assembly pro- gram which was presented before the junior-senior high school students in March and the other was the trip of the honor society to the Buffalo Zoo and Museum of Science. The class is proud of John Dooley who won first prize in the elementary boys' division of the Americanism essay contest. Also Suzanne Brumsted and Florence Dynarski brought honor to the class by winning second place in the essay and spelling contests respectively. A Christmas party and a picnic at Emery Park in June were the most important social ewans on the 7th grade calendar. Both of these events were enjoyed by all members of the class. Despite a crowded schedule of work and play the seventh graders did not forget their duty to others less fortunate than they. The class contributed liberally to the United Chart ties Drive and they also sent a CARE package to a needy family in Europe. 21+
