'Al 'F' ---- -' 'M' -f-:iQ IEII-ills Eigth B News During the month of February, five members of SB-12-5 were appointed to make a plan for a bookmark, which is to be distributed to every pupil in Hutchins. Many anxious days were spent in which the committee worked feverishly to com- plete the plan. Finally, on March 6, it was turned over to Miss Fitzpatrick, who is now making ar- rangements for having it printed. The committee consisted of Jimmie Smith, chairman, Margaret Ann Crawford, Steve David, and Raymond Cole. Many plans were sub- mitted by other members of the class. The castle in the upper left-hand corner rep- resents health, toward which we are all striving along the pathway of life. The following poem appears on the bookmark: THE ROAD TO HEAL-TH The road to health is hard and long ' But, if you follow it, you'll always be strong. Late to bed, early to rise, Will bring you to school with drooping eyes. Brush your teeth, morning and night, This will make them clean and white. Eat a breakfast of oatmeal and toast If you would of good health boast. Turn out for all the sports of the day And don't from baseball stay away. After leaving school each day, Spend at least an hour at play. When health is lost, be timely wise, With health all taste of pleasure flies. The boys of 221, with Harry Modell as cap- tain, won the 8B championship in swimming. The captain of the boys' baseball team is Bill Higson. The girls of 8B-221 .have entered all of the girls' sports this term. The class captains are: Vera Fleming, swimmingg Mary Byard, baseball, Nancy Bean, track. They played baseball games with 124, 125, and 308 and won the SB cham- pionship. In swimming, the girls of 221 defeated 321, 222, 401, 1215, and 210. The 8B Practical Arts girls have learned to smock this term. Before the first card marking, samplers were made. There were eight stitches in each sampler. Several of the stitches were hard and most of them were new to the girls. Now we are applying our knowledge of smock- ing to trimming a dress. As summer is coming most of the girls chose to make summer dresses. Vena Welo and Vera Kaiser were the first girls who finished. Vena made a baby dress and Vera made a summer dress for herself. Both of the dresses were splendid. We are proud to announce that 8B-321 had the largest sale of the Vocatiomtl Issue in the school. They ranked first with thirty-seven copies sold. A new nine-hole record score was turned in by Willard Marshall of 8B-321. He scored a 40 on the Palmer Park course. His average low score for this season gives him a place on the Varsity. Jean Webber Eigrh B Party The 8B Party was held Friday, March 1. The party began with the Grmzd Ilfltlflfh. It was fol- lowed by an entertainment, including dances, stunts, songs, and -poems. Then the dancing be- gan. After dancing several dances we went to the cafeteria, where we had refreshments. I am sure that every 8B departed with a smile on his face.

' tdgti l 'f f Eight A The Fourth Panel On the walls of Hutchins near the auditorium, hang the beautiful pictures of The Quest of the Holy Grail by Edwin A. Abbey. These pictures have 'been enjoyed and loved by all the pupils of Hutchins. The 8A's chose these panels for special study this term in the auditorium, under the di- rection of Mrs. Lardie. May 8 they entertained their mother by explaining and posing nine of these glorious pictures. One of the most interesting of the panels pre- sented was that of The Vow or the Oath of Knighthoofl. Here the Kni-ghts, Sir Bors and Sir Launcelot, kneel behind Galahad and buckle upon his heels the golden spurs of knighthood, while he takes the high vow of chivalry: to speak the truth and maintain the rightg to protect the poor, the distressed, and all womeng to practice courtesy and kindness with allg to maintain the honor and the cause of God. Behind Galahad stands a company of white robed nuns who hold great candles that have burned low, showing they have spent a long vigil in the chapel. This panel represents the ending of Galahad's period of training, the passing of his boyhood with his entrance upon the active phase of his career. T.he pupils portraying these characters were: Sir Galahad, Jack Bristolg Sir Launcelot, Arthur Yousonfiang Sir Bors, Donald Griefg the Nuns: Alice Welton, Ruth Morgans, Ruth Gallagher, Ethel Handelsman, Leanore Gamsu, and Eliza- beth Smith. Each knight made his own costume, including his sword and armor. The nuns looked very pic- turesque in their white robes and head dresses. The splendid lighting effect and costumes gave the panel a realistic effect. 'fi IE-TI-TILE? -- Page Forty
