SEVENTH GRADE Class History On September 7, 1937, twenty-three seventh graders, later joined by four more pupils, anxiously took up our duties as students of Junior High. One-fourth of us come from rural districts. In the election of class officers, John Mueller was selected President; Barbara Hetland, Vice-President; Wanda Houghton, Secretary; and James Reul, Treasurer. During the year we have had many interesting projects. From our language books we conceived the idea of editing a class newspaper which we called the “Tattler” and published every three weeks. We chose Barbara Hetland as our editor-in chief. In reading, the boys studied inventions and the girls, prospective careers. Since the beginning of the year, we have listened to the Ranger Mac Radio Programs on Conservation which are broadcast from Madison every Monday morning. We made a scrapbook project on conservation based on every tale Ranger Mac presented. Another activity in which the entire Junior, as well as the Senior High School, participated was the magazine campaign. Members of the team selling its quota of magazines were given lollipops which they were allowed to eat during school. The seventh grade was the winning team, and therefore it had the privilege of enjoying these suckers. The old tradition of giving a Christmas operetta was again followed this year. All the children from the public grade school took part in the operetto, “The Legend of the Snowman,” on December 17. The leading role was played by a seventh grade boy, Quentin Copeland. The elaborate costumes and appropriate songs, well sung, make this an outstanding event. During the year we also had parties which we have enjoyed very much. One was given at Thanksgiving and one at Christmas. We hope the years to come will be as happy and full of tun and joy as this year has been. —-Betty Dabareiner, Seventh Grade. s E V E N T H G R A E 1 PAGE TWENTY-THREE

E 1 G H T H G R A D E EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY The crew of the good ship Study” gathered at noon on September seventh, at the home port ready for another year’s voyage into the Sea of Knowledge. Miss Olson was again our crew adviser. We selected Oscar Beale as our Captain; Joanne Moen. Second Mate, and Gloria Harder, our Recorder. We were glad to welcome four new’ members, Phyllis Hake, Junior Stock, Donald Plymesser, and Dorothy Freepartner to the crew. In a few w’eeks we had set sail and docked in Brazil and in no time found ourselves trekking through Amazonia capturing vicious adjectives and adverbs in the dense tropical jungles. We were unexpectedly called out of the jungles to participate in the magazine campaign and tried valiantly to surpass the seventh grade crew, but it captured the honors. Then came the magazine costume party w'hich was a tremendous success. Amos and Andy”, who were impersonated by Wilbur Kortman and Calvin Krause, wfere prize winners. After visiting Mexico, we sailed back to the home port to participate in the Christmas Operetta, The Legend of the Snowman.” Shortly afterwards, we spent a two week furlough with our parents—a vacation which seemed all too short. In January, the crew embarked for Africa, and upon arrival there, tramped through South Africa and the Belgian Congo jungles fighting ferocious hypotenuses, square roots, and subordinate clauses. Then we encountered the Bog of Despair , but Calvin w'orked hard to extricate us with his antics and funny stories. About this time our spirits rose at the thought of a Valentine’s party with the seventh grade crew as guests. The party was a success and the refreshments disappeared with incredible rapidity. Among other outsanding events of the year were the gym demonstrations, the art exhibit, and the forensic contests. Of course, one of the principle chores on the good ship Study” was that of preparing the meals. The mess.” uhually prepared by the Junior Home Economics class, turned out fairly successfully for the beginners. Toward the end of the year, we published an annual depicting the highlights of the year’s cruise. June seventh finally came and we sailed into home port for three months of glorious vacation time. —June Durkee. An Eighth Grader. PAGE TWENTY TWO
