Opening the book and glancing at the pages. his eyes fastened on the notes of the Eighth Grade. His heavy brows wrinkled and a smile broke over his countenance as he read the following: lfarly one September morning in 1920, a group of intelligent looking students entered the great halls of Mineral Ridge High School. The teacher seated at the desk was Mrs. llall. This being our first year and also the first time we were ever in school, no doubt we were very noisy. After a few weeks we became accustomed to the discipline of the school room, and were much quieter. This year came to a happy close and we were all glad to go home for the summer, and do as we wished. The next year we had a very large class, although only 28 of our number were pupils who had started to school at Mineral Ridge the previous September. Our teacher this year was Miss Beitman. However, she was forced to remain at home on account of illness and Miss Doud, a substitute teacher, took her place. Time passed very rapidly and September 1925 found us again entering school. in the 6th grade. By this time we were beginning to think that we were a very essential part of the school. Mrs Given guarded over us this year and under her direction we look one more step toward the goal for which we were striving. In the fall of 1926, we started our seventh year together. We elected officers for the first time. and had our first class paper. This year was brought to a close with a party. The school is spick and spang every window shines forth a happy welcome. lt must be expecting a visitor today. Why, to be sure-today is September 8, l927,the first day ofour school term. Groups of students flocked joyously into the rooms. For a few weeks nothing especially exciting happened: but then came whispers of Where are we going to make plans for our annual school fair? Then everyone began to hunt for the largest pumpkin and the oddest shaped squash. We had a football team for the first time this year and two of our number were chosen on the varsity squad. They are David St. Clair and John Howell. Our class also boasts of a boy's and girl's basketball team. Many of our class have moved away: others have fallen behind. Although we have I-l members at present, only seven of the original 35 who started in with us are now in the Eight Grade. They are: Lillian Elias, Alice Clemson, Ruth White, Joseph Polanski. Joseph Vandegrift, Willis Pearce. and Robert Springer. Lillian Elias Willis Pearce Robert Springer Th irly-sir
