A school building that is unexcelled anywhere. But the money expended has, by no means, been wasted. To the Junior high each year come, several hundred students of the seventh and eighth grades. Their knowledge is materially broadened by the fact that instead of having only one teacher as they would in the seventh grade, they have the ad- vantage of five or six. Moreover, this is the age when the boy or girl begins to think of quitting school. With the advantage of a Junior high however, the student becomes so wrapt up in the school activities, that the thought of quitting school never occurs to him. There is another important advantage-one which strengthens the Senior high school activities. From the time they enter the Junior high, the students, through their gym work, under the direction of the coach himself acquire valuable athletic training. This advantage is especially true of basketball. Then they have the advantage of musical training, both instrumental and vocal, under the heads of the High'School music department, and lastly they receive debate training. In short, all the various organizations of the Senior High are materially strengthened by the addition of students who have been trained beforehand in the Junior high. Altogether, we are most fortunate in having such a Junior high school. As .has been truly said, the Junior high is What Independence should adver- tize to the world. -JAMES GILMORE '25 Page 14 e.s' scene--e. 'A M-fix, s I -1 .ff-+r1.,Qre : il' fm' 'ef Q Q' +1
