Remember the first day we entered the chemistry room? Everyone at us was iust positive that he would be the one to blow up the school. But we made it through without any casualties by helping each other. We each had a lab partner which meant we shared our equipment. Together we did our experiments. Right or wrong, they were fun to do. Some of us in cart never thought we would be able to draw a straight line, but we reatly turned out some beautiful pictures. The new art room was a reai blessing in every way. Some had waited so long to take ceramics and now it had become possible. Although we did not have the vaguest idea how to boil an egg, we soon learned in Home EC. Why! some of us can now sew and cook aimost as well as our mothers. a The saws in the industrial arts room were always buzzingt Beautiful obiects of wood were produced and many wonderful gadgets made for the home. That clEckety-clack that we heard in study hall was the typing class busily typing together. We had many stiff : fingers but we certainly learned to type. classes in action I61 i

In gym we learned to be good sports. Oh, at times it was a temptation to be mad because the other team won, but we soon realized that it isn't iust winning that counts, but learning to be a good sport, win or lose. Then come the time some of us tried to get elected to Student Councilt The midnight oil burned the night be- fore trying to prepare 0 speech that would convince our class that we should be on Council. We had some wonderful assemblies this year. It made us especially proud when we participated in them, Those lunch periods were so much tun! That is when we really got the chance to meet new faces. We re- member some of the things we discussed over that good cafeteria food. Those of us that were part of the bond really learned to work togethert We had to and by doing 50, gave the school one of the finest bonds that it has ever had. After school we often had informal sessions with our teachers enabling us to get better acquainted with them, This year proved to be very beneficial and enioyoble in every aspect. Everyone of these classes taught us what togetherness means, and to the seniors, it is a word with 0 meaning we shall never forget. Gail Jurgens I71
