THE ORACLE CLASS of '38 OR. the first time since the beginning of the school system all of the eighth gradesof Malverne are housed under one roof and under the ge same supervision. Now that the whole junior high school is combined, more activities of the seventh, eighth. and ninth grades are possible. The first of these is the junior high school boys' basketball team. Coach Hanson decided this winter that, because of the unity of the grades, he would form a team of junior high school boys. Later Mr. DeSormo took charge and guided the boys through their first season with an enviable record. Another of the new activities is the junior high school glee club, which, under ' the direction of Mrs. McConnell. has achieved great success. The newest innovation was the organization of the junior National Honor Society. whose members were selected from the eighth and ninth grades. For the first time the junior high is being represented in the year book. It is an experiment which will, no doubt, be as successful as the other ventures. The combined eighth grades are taking part in all of these activities, and Malverne may well feel proud of its junior high school. PAGE TWENTY-ONE
