The very name sug- gests and brings to mind diminutive people. scattering around the hulls, voicing slang and wise cracks and ramming into those dignitierl upper classmen. But they have their con- sslatlons. They are not as annoying as the seventh grade, nor as green as the freshmen: they are merely acutely conscious ot coming into their 'teens. But what a grand bunch of en- thusiasts they are. They always turn- ed out for any football and basket- ball game in full force: always made the gym ring with their treble voices, even though their booing was quite obvious at times because of their older instigators. This class also produced the junior high cheerleaders who were ready with reproaches for booing, though they were smartinzg with indignation at some seemingly unfair play or decision. Now to change the topic. Have you noticed what cute girls they have. So cute that upper classmen turned their heads for a second glance and were so satisfied they went a wooing, and were either suc- cessful or repulsed. And last, but not least, their boys are regular chips off the old block. Sturdy, peppy, little kids, sometimes refresh- ing, ,but generally vexing. Now to expound on their class loyalty. This is the class that was the best represented in intramurals, with the largest turnouts, and had pleny of vim, vigor, vitality and all of the other appropriate synonyms. The eighth grade has these un- usually good signs for a successful senior year. To add to th-em are their scholastic abilities. They have man- aged to keep their average to a superior degree, and have been well represented in Junior High sports, for they furnished a goodly number for the triumphant Baby Blue Jays. Raymond McKellar, a well-known member' of this class, seems to be following in his broth-er's. footsteps along athletic llines. Ray was on the junior high basketball squad this year and you're bound to hear more about him as time goes on. Flonence Gormley is another one that is apt to make herself known during the next few years. She made a name for herself by her characteri- zation in the junior high operetta this year. Do you remember her sing- ing Lullaby La.nd ? Bill Wenger, president of this group, is another mighty cute eighth grader with a genial personality. That's no foolin', either. Carl Myers and Beecher I.-icklider were the two who led the junior high in yells and cheers at the basketball games last winter. Watch them. folks. You'11 see and hear more of these two. Therefore expectations are highly motiivated for the senior class in 1938, with honors in sports and scholarship, with pep and buoyancy supreme, and cute girls and winning boys, undaunted and trlumhant with the swe-epstakes in their hands. Here they are. folks. Look 'em over. Robert Aeker, Ernest Ain, Arnold Anderson, Marcella Anderson, Justes Ashley. Herbert Bunker, James Baker,

In September, 1933, the largest class in the history of the Junction City Junior-Senior' High School was enrolled. Like all oth-er seventh grade classes it was scorned by the students above and kindly admonished by its teach- ers to study hard. But in a short time, by its willing coclceration in intramurals and other school activities., it won the respect of the upper classes and, by its high grades, it won the praises of the teachers. Now that the 1933-1934 school tum is almost over, these seventh glade students are beginning to lift their heads a little higher and to take notice of their surrounnsngs. Now and then they receive a kind look and smile from the juniors and seniors, but their greatest satisfac- tion comes from knowing that they vrill be regarded wxtn awe by 'he seventh grade class of next year. At l2 o'clock noon on the first Cay of school 153 of the 160 seventh graders. running loose in the halls of old junior-senior high, were lost. The other seven were safely accounted for by older brothers and sisters, who, much to their embarrassment when confronted by fellow classmen, were putting' into execution parental instructions received before leaving home on that fatal day' of Sept. 11. Following the procedure of the up- per classes, because they knew no better, the seventh grade convened Cif so conservative a term may be ap- plied to the unorganized body that it wash and elected officers-Tom Martin, presidentg Mayselle Shilling, vice-presidentg Sally Sumner, secre- tary-treasurer, and Robert Weary, pailiamentarian. Even though these seventh grade youngsters are thrown into daily contact with the statliness and reserve of the upper classmen, their un- restrained vitality forces them to re- sort to such annoying' pranks as darting' through the halls busily -en- gaged in a game of tag or dodging follow students while on roller skates or throwing pap-er wads and snow- balls or plugging locks or copping the choice seats at the basketball games. Try as they have to assume the sophistication of their superiors, they slid back the distance they had g3ined when at Christmas time they wrote confidential letters to dear old Santa Clause and spent innumberable evenings browsing' around in the toy departments. Seriously though, the seventh grade is to be congratulated upon achievements made in extra-cur1'icu- lsr activities. In intramurals, the Cc-ops, under the captalncy of Doris Crawford, were named volleyball champions in their tournament, de- feating eighth grade teams composed cf larger and stronger girls. Here's an orchid to you. In dramatics and music there are three. Geraldine Vineyard, as Fairy Moonbeam, appearing at the summons of the magic ring, and Mayselle Shilling anl Marjorie Miller, as Sprites of the Night, offering the Dance Grotesque, carried off honors in the junior high operetta, Prin- cess Chrysanthemum. Again and again the seventh grades will be remembered for the co-operation. loyalty and support they considered a requirement punishable by the severest of means if neglected. They set an example in completely filling their part of the cheering sec- tions at all athletic contests. Joe 'Roe-snfield led them in their lusty
