Eights 'horsing' around at a party Some of us take French and some of us take Spanish, but we all take science and mathematics. In science we have studied nutrition, in connection with which experiments were made on rats and guinea pigs. WBlondieW, our Ndeficient-in-vitamin-CH pig, failed to live. An autopsy was ordered. The bloody-minded members of the class, especially Barry, Joel, and Jay, enjoyed this immensely. Many of the rest of us were there, but mostly from force of ill ' w . A study of the pig s body followed, and again those with the strongest stomachs triumphed. Mathematics, they say, is an interesting subject. We find that statement only partially true. Here again, some members excelled either in their ability to argue with the teacher or in their genius in the subject. As we plod along, we think to ourselves WThere's a lot we do not know.N Very popular are the classes in the arts. H0h, the sewing machine, the sewing machine, my only pride and joy,W chant the girls as they puncture them- selves with needles trying to create Hthe.new lookn. Lathes and saws buzz with activity as some of the Eights continue their acquaintance with the shop,while others, in the fine arts rooms, ponder over block prints, models in clay, and portraits of their companions.

They ranged geographically from eastern Canada to Plymouth Colony to Georgia. They were made at the cost of innumerable arguments, despitethe fact that co-operation was heavily stressed. Along with Social Studies comes English Our original stories reall ' - 1 Y afford superb entertainment. When we remember Nicky Steiner's story about his project, it is always with a smile. Then, too, there was Suki's masterpiece which causes us to say, nPoor Oaky Tag!N when Oaky wails, NMy wood pilp is having indegestion.W Susan's advice on how to spend a quiet Saturday afternoon Wbrought down the housen along with Charlie's reading of some of his hilarious stories. We cannot forget grammar whilein this atmosphereg neither English, French 3 nor Spanish. It's the French that troubles most of us. We hope that with ef- fort, we Rights will be talking like real Frenchmen and Spaniards soon. Al- though the languages are not free of difficulties, we always enjoy ourselves. l Qrfo ,DG 51 Q lk NM fl 5-L, Q -u gs '-'N Page 32

Across the hall in the dark-room other portraits are perfected by those Fights in the Camera Club, a private club just for us. Its organization required David's determination, Madame Browne's cooperation, and Mr. Foshay's final consent, plus the assistance of Mr. Swift.

Some people said it was out of proportion, but in our eyes it compared favorably with any other, even the Trojan one. With its help, we had a marvelous Nwesternu partyj11February, from which every- one departed with a full stomach and a happy heart. And as we leave the eighth grade with mingled memories of merry doings, heavy books, social studies reports, and lunchroom antics, we still have happy hearts.
