ENROLLMENT ACTIVE W E STARTED the fall of 1941 with an enrollment of about sixty pupils. Several were strangers to Marple-Newtown, but they soon became accustomed to our methods. The two Ereshman Classes combined and gave a very successful Christmas Party. During guidance periods many took part In discussions of various topics. Several members of the Freshman Class took part In the operetta as dancers and in the chorus. Some of the members took part In athletic activities, assembly speeches, and assembly programs. Since this is our last year m Junior High, we hope to do bigger and even more successful things In the forthcoming senior years.

T m EIGHTH GRADER Miss Gearhart Mrs. Hoopes Advisers THE EIGHTH GRADE REVIEW A nother year is almost gone. But looking backward, hasn’t it been fun? Remember the skating party and the hot-dog roast when we worked and planned together for the fun? V e can still remember how proud we were at the Bake Sale when the good news reached us that one hundred and sixty-five dollars had been made for our Athletic Association. Our eighth-grade boys won the Intramural Championship in Junior High Basketball — another pleasant memory. Remember the assembly programs and the Christmas play? What fun we had adapting Dickens ' Christmas Carol and then dramatizing it I We are looking forward to the ninth grade when we’ll work and plan together for another successful term, but we shall never forget our eighth grade classes where we had such good times and worked so earnestly.
