WILMA HESTER After eight hard years as underclassmen, we of the “transition grade” that “in between time’’ we must all go through, is over . . . the great day finally arrives, we shall graduate to full fledged high school students. Mow is the period for sober reflection and self-inventory to determine whether or not our pattern of study is sound. We must he sure that our attitude towards study is not characterized simply by an effort to ‘get by.” Such an ap¬ proach can only lead to future failure and disappointment. Since 194S, the year the eighth grade was included in the Fredericksburg Public Schools, there has been a constant trend toward higher standards in scholarship and each year we reach further attainment. Our eighth grade is the largest ever with 68 girls and 78 boys, a total of 146. We are proud to have this years graduating class the biggest, and we think the best, the first to finish in our new James Monroe High School.
