D11ri11g tl1e school year of 1951 and 1952, tl1e eighth graders of McGraw Central School boasted a menibership of Go pupils at one ti111e. Tl1is year the eighth graders have elected as their president, Donald Niver, and as their vice-president, Beverly Nauseef. The position of secretary is l1eld by Delores Crozier while James Goetcheus controls the capital for the class. Mrs. Hopkins is our advisor. The main activity for the eighth graders was selling cards. The profits that were made from tl1e selling of these cards will be l1SCd to pay for the eigl1tl1 grade trip to Albany. They sold 351,250 worth of cards, about half of which is clear profit. At Albany the class visited the capitol building, Schuyler's Mansion and many other places of interest and education. The eighth grade girls put on a play for tl1e P.T.A. during the month of February. Eight girls participated in this play. The eighth grade also had a party during the 111o11th of May and the seventh grade was i11- vited to attend. During tl1e Cl1rist111as season a high school Clll'lSllI1ZlS party was l1eld and the junior high grades were invited to participate in the fun.
