Metppxl £jiqM(i Q iodefCA. ' I T he eighth grade has had a successful and pleasant year made more interesting by participating in our various activities. Some of these activities proved to be profitable. The bake sale, in which we figured prominently, netted over $150 for the Athletic Association. A patriotic program on Flag Day, consisting of various poems and songs, was given in assembly. A Bird Day program was also presented. A playlet, given in connection with this program, was written by several of the eighth grade pupils. Many proud owners turned out with their pets to the pet show given by the Junior High School. Several of the students participated in the operetta and athletics. We have enjoyed bein g eighth graders, and are enthusiastically looking forward to our ninth grade year. 28 lilililililililiittiiai

S amth I Amis year I am sure that both 7A and 7B have enjoyed the work of the year I and are looking forward to a few more weeks when each pupil will know whether JL the grade for the year has been made. We wall all be happy if each pupil has reached the eighth grade level. Best of all the seventh grade has enjoyed Gym, their favorite lesson, then Home Economics for girls, and Shop for boys. For people who like to read, the eighth grade library is the best place for them. Then, too, there were the seventh grade assembly programs in which the children enjoyed taking part. In our Nature Study club I am sure both classes learned much about bird life and many interesting things about the world around us. Our Junior Orchestra has enjoyed very much the music played this year. And to add more fun to the Orchestra Club the members with the help of the teacher, enjoyed a delightful party. 29
