Mr. Bennett The Eighth Grade is the senior class of the elementary school. As such we try to be worthy of this position. The girls now have three classes weekly in Home Economics and the boys in Industrial Arts. We have art and music, band, vocal and dancing lessons. We enjoy Physical Education twice a week. In our academic subjects we ere looking toward our June regents examin- ations. In Mathematics we are learning about insurance, taxes, stocks and bonds and we hope to be on a nodding acquain- tance with Algebra and Geometry at years end. The action of forces on elements, the changes in matter, the mystery of Astron- omy are some of the things we study in science. Literature, composition and gram- mar are our main interests in English while in Citizenship Education we learn of the founding, growth and” development of our great natibo. We trust that all these act- ivities will help us to become even better citizens. Mr. Kahn Mrs. Johnson Seventh nuCc One of our first activities was to elect class officials. Every week we have a meeting conducted by parlimentary procedure. A new activity this year was a course in Shop for the boys and a Homemaking Class for the qirls. Our projects have been quite successful and will help us in the future. s part of our Social Studies we have seen odustry at work by visiting several inter- sting places of business. This helps us nderstand how our state has become the rmpire State. Other activities included dancing, basketl all. and band. As part of our Science program we did experiments in Ub. This was an interesting privilege as weli as educational. You can see from our activities that we 3re iearnina to be aood citizens. ScxtA tyiade Our year started with the study of civil- ization. We made a large and colorful map to show Where Our Civilization Began . From there we continued our Social Studies by exploring the old world and visiting its places of renown. We were especially in- terested in the lands of our ancestors. Out of this developed our assembly program and writing the play, MHS Tour-O-Rama of Europe . Parliamentary law was studied, class officers elected and class meetings held. Three pupils joined our group, Barbara Page from Greenport. Raymond McCam- bridge, Paoli, Indiana and Kurt Klotzer from Mausdorf, Germany.
