Seventh anil Eigtk Grad PS As the bell rang on last September 11. thirty-five seventh and eighth graders assembled in their seats, ready to begin in a new grade. There were twenty-one seventh graders and fourteen eighth graders, seven of whom were from other schools. This was the largest group of junior high school students since the two grades were combined. The girls predominated, outnumbering the boys two to one. The boys were not allowed to assert themselves too strongly, especially in class elections. We followed the old tradition of parties which had been set by previous grades. October 28th the seventh grade were guests at a Hallowe’en party sponsored by the eighth grade. The seventh grade reciprocated as hosts at a St. Patrick’s Day party. A contest between two teams of the girls’ gym class, in which the attitude and appearance of each individual counted points, ended in a party given by the losing team. The boys missed out on this, however. As usual the Junior High Department participated in the magazine campaign which helped to replenish our class treasury and furnish money for a radio.

Tie I eacliers .1 raining Department The Teachers’ Training Department of 1936-37 consisted of ten members all girls. They represent the large cities of the county three girls coming from Lake Mills, one from Fort Atkinson, one from Watertown, and the remaining five from Jefferson. The group, being small, showed an unusual spirit of friendliness and goodwill. No task seemed too difficult for these girls who knew that cooperation in a group aids the success of any enterprise. The girls received training in specific subjects to be taught in a normal rural situation. In addition to this, practice teaching in the city grades made their appreciation of the subject grow. No year is complete without program and parties. The Spring Party was quite an event, but the crowning feature is the Cadet-Teacher dinner held in April. To this, each cadet invites a teacher from a rural school to be her guest and later to guide her through the test week cadet teaching! Graduation climaxes the year’s work. PAGE TWENTY-TWO

Our civics club which we organized the early part of the year has greatly helped us to learn parliamentary procedure. Officers held their office for one semester. The first semester Barbara Dabareiner was speaker and Bill MarkgrafT clerk. The second semester Lois Henry was elected speaker and Oscar Beale clerk. Meetings were held each Friday afternoon. The annual declamatory and oratorical contest occurred March 15. An unusually large number participated this year, a total of twenty-one. The year, as you see. has been a happy intermingling of work and recreation. Officers of Eighth Grade: President. Lois Henry; Secretary. Bob Serns. Officers of Seventh Grade: President.

As Juniors we are the cream of the crop, Starling at the bottom and working to the top. A very smart class, without a doubt; Whose brains and genius, teachers can’t do without. Our goal we set exceptionally high. We are bound to make it—will never say die! Before I go further. I think you should know, The talents of those, who want to make dough. In our hall of fame, we have Eddie Jung; If he keeps on acting, he’ll surely be hung. In business, we have Tiny, the Sausage King:” Who talks a lot of baloney, not found in a ring! A very smart girl this little Tony” Made her grades in Latin without a Pony.” Now who do you think it is, who leaves the boys in a lurch? No I won’t say who I’m going to Church. Sleeping all day is a difficult art. But to Leroy Zimmermann it is only a start. Dolores smiles, and her dimples Get the boys down—the rest is simple. When it comes to fancy drawing, there’s Chip Who draws anything from a pin to a ship. Marion is noted for making curls; She is constantly called upon, by the girls. If I pass. I’ll see you next year To tell you more of a class, whose future is clear. CLASS OF THIRTY-SEVEN Hail to the June grades of ’37 Our hats are off to you. You’ve had a difficult task And successfully carried it through. Twelve years ago you started a ship That would be great and strong, A ship to sail on any sea And go both far and long. The keel was laid the first four years, Strong, straight, and true. One that would be able to take all knocks And safely carry you through. For the next four years you fit the ribs And laid the perfect decks. And nothing but the best was used So there would be no wrecks. MEMORIES A reminiscent smile, A far away look. We dream awhile Over the latest book. We remember days of youth, We remember the gay rush. We remember Chip and Ruth, And then we begin to blush. All our friends we see, Friends of the past, These last years the finishing touches The straight masts and cabins trim, The sides all bright and shining Seaworthy in every seam. You’ve crammed her hold with treasure From all ports of the nation: Pearls of wisdom, gems of facts. And called her Education. So launch her now with happy hearts And point to her with pride; Your primary task is finished And you can sail outside. To meet the storms and the future sends The squalls, the calms, bad weather Your treasures if rightly used Will help you on forever. Richard Greig. We remember Bob and Dee Memories come fast. We remember school days. We remember gay parties. We remember debates and plays And all our datees. Remember our Junior Class! How we worked for our prom How we managed to pass. Memories! What Fun. —Genevieve Church. PAGE I WEVn I Ol II
