Having the same homeroom teacher for two successive years would have disturbed most classes, but when the teacher was Mr. McMunn, they did not mind a bit. They loved to hear Joe's jokes and to postpone a class by skillfully getting him started talking about sports. An unusually large number of eighth graders were outstanding in scholarship. Those on the honor roll were Larry Milburn, Janice Cooley, Mona Lee George, Colin Nor- berg, Charles Patton, Jean Sam, George Schade, John Waugaman, Paul Cole, and Lynn Holloman. Almost all of the members of this lively class found time to take part in at least one of the school's activities. Those boys who will be future members of our varsity squad and who this year played on the junior high basketball team were Bill Cummings, Don Good, John Waugaman, George Gongaware, Colin Norberg, and Charles Patton. Larry Milburn was the team manager. Jean Sam and Mona Lee George were two of the junior high cheerleaders. The eighth grade was also well represented in the high school band and the Junior Girls' Chorus. Taking the parts of Santa's two helpers, Janice Cooley and Joanne Marchand had important roles in the Christmas Operetta. Having an interest in photography, Paul Cole and Stan Lunn gave their services to the Camera Club. Lynn Holloman and Janice Cooley were selected to represent their class at the Junior Red Cross meetings. So we see that the many at- tributes of this group will make them val- uable members of our senior high and an asset to our community in years to come. Being fun-loving and socially inclined, the eighth grade staged several parties. The first of these was a Hallowe'en Party which they held with the freshmen and seventh grade. Mr. Dudley, Mr. Shirley and Mr. Bowers highlighted this party when they arrived dressed as women. To have twins as classmates is quite unusual, but the eighth grade has them. Twins, Jean and Joann Sam, are quite popu- lar. Is it because of their smooth dancing? Will the boys and girls of this class ever forget such things as: Emory Lear and his late library books, Paul Cole's bashfulness, Sleepy Cook, or the kidding Colin Norberg took about his basketball scores? As next year's freshmen we are sure they will not lack talent and enthusiasm.

THEY ARE OFF TO A GOOD START Having ended a very enjoyable school term and hoping for one as successful next year, the ambitious seventh grade, guided by the experienced hand of Miss Wiley, is proud of its many accomplishments. The class chose as leaders David Koury as presi- dent and Jerry Sandson vice-president. Keep- ing the books were Secretary Kay Daniels and Treasurer Kay Johnson. Ranking high in scholastic standings were Jerry Sandson, Bill Lomicka, and Ei- leen Lohr. Exceptionally good in math were the popular David Koury and David Gram- lich. Though a little awkward and especially shy of the sewing machines, this class showed its ability in home economics through the fine work of Dolores Blystone and Eileen Lohr. Mrs. Stauffer has been pleased to find that Eugene Shorthouse and Lloyd Simpson demonstrated artistic talent. Adding greatly to the success of the junior high squad was Lloyd Simpson who showed good form and will probably be varsity material in his high school days. Ad- ding zest to the cheering section, Sonny,' Koury, an ardent supporter of the team, helped with loud and hearty yells. Darlene Cloherty showed special talent in tap-dancing by winning the amateur con- test sponsored by the Lions Club. Ken and Bill Lomicka and Eileen Lohr all play clari- nets in the Irwin High Band. Everyone likes to hear the fine singing of Eugene Shorthouse and Jerry Sandson. An oddity of the class is the repetition of the name Kay. Three of the thirteen girls have this name, Kay Davis, Kay Daniels, and Kaye Johnson. Few of the pupils will ever forget when Francis Caserio, the livliest boy in the class, let a praying mantis loose in the room to the terror of all the girls. Nor will they forget when Jerry Sandson was caught singing the Star Spangled Ban- ner in front of the room when he was sup- posed to be conducting class while the teacher was out. Miss Cason was heard to say that they were extremely proud of what they made even if it might be only an apron. Joe Mc- Munn, their math teacher, said that in gen- eral they were an outstanding class. Very active and industrious was a comment of Mr. Balog. This class has set a high standard which all future junior high classes can strive to maintain. 29
