They had to adjust from being the oldest and most looked up to, to being the youngest and having to look up, themselves. They showed both class and potential, howev- er; they handled the situation like pros. They became very active in the Middle School way of life. Both the boys and girls basketball team had a successful season. They joined clubs such as Student Council, Junior National Honor Society, Drama Club, and band. When asked about their seventh grade year Rick Boyd commented, It's new. You don’t have to get in line. You get free time between classes. You can get snacks. Jeff Custard replied, It's harder. You see your friends more. Some classes are fun. Basketball had more competition, but it’s fun to switch classes. Angie Robinson, closed the conversation with, “It s been fun. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be. I feel closer to my friends.” Forty students proved that they could handle change.

Eighth Grade A Role Model For the Middle Schoolers It was a busy year for the eighth grade class. As they moved closer and closer to their high school years, they had to make many adjustments to pre- pare for this. They were the first class to graduate from the middle school. Their many activities in- cluded their own student council, membership in Junior National Honor Society, drama club, and band. Both the boys and girls basketball teams fin- ished their seasons over .500. As they spent their last year in the middle school they were the “big people” in the school. They will have to start over and climb their way back up the ladder to be the BIGGEST as they start their high school years.
