QVX lm r S6 z 'fif.1 . 1 'L T T T- ' I Ullmi k by 4 Buttoufsrls spfcml 53 rv K f 1.5. .Ili .M , W Zi Wi - N v T Growing ains Junior High--A mountain to be climbed in three long stpigsz' Looking back, how a short a time it seems, but, OH, the agony of enduring the growing pains. aa ,Agia The first day, a poor little B7 scrubb, trembles in the auditorium not knowing where to go or what to do. They're tremendous hurdles of new classes, new teachers, and new classmates. Confusion reigns humiliations on us due to the higher grades, take the elevator to the swimming pool , etc. At last, stronger in our knowledge, so we think, we go on to the A7, and new pitfalls await us. The social activities release the tension of more difficult work. lt seems that the rest of our years will be gravy, but oh, for the grow- ing pains to come. Now the offices of the Junior Assembly rise before us, Nominating petitions, speeches, and then the final elections. We have risen to the height of Senior-B, but again in the A8 we are scrubs of another kind. ls it always to be like this? We are now becoming social minded, some ioin dance classes, others ioin clubs-baby fat, braces, and all. We now understand the ways of life. The girls are starting to wear lipstick and, oh, what a mess! Electives now have confronted us and we must make up our minds ourselves-AH, moturityl The girls may choose homemaking, and the boys may choose one of the shops. By A8 there are tests that direct our minds toward our future career. Our social life steps up a bit now with the A8 dance. At last through our struggle we achieve the 9th grade. ln the B9 there are more electives, harder work, and some preparation for high school. During this semester there is plenty of work. We may not receive U's for then we would end up in a B9 homeroom in the A9 term, which would be a great calamity. The Student Body, Boys' Council, and Girls' League offices are also facing us. Again there is nominating petitions, speeches, and the final election. As our social life develops we have the Burrs and Belles for ninth graders, and many other clubs, in and out of school we become afflicted with tetephonites. We are now the seniors of the school, A9's. We are the ones who are looked up to, we set the example. During this term we have many things to accomplish. We have preparation for high school, in a big way. We have to prepare for our future career. We have to work even a little harder to get the grades required for high school. By now our social life has taken a big step in our growing pains. There are outside activities ond jobs. We are now becoming more conscious of our appearance, cleanliness, and clothes. We are getting new wardrobes for high school, and the girls are trying out new hairstyles. Most of us by now have nearly attained physical maturity. We are taller. We are now ready for high school, and the new growing pains that await us.
