The eighth graders started off their first year as veteran Upper Schoolers under the leadership of Lucy Dodge, their President, and Kate Penney, their Secretary. Many eighth graders participated in the Junior Committees of the League, and as members of the recently organized Junior Choir. This fall they won the traditional seventh-eighth grade hockey game, and this spring they lost the traditional eighth-ninth grade basketball game. (Those results follow the tradition, we might add!) The girls were honored in having Virginia Salford as a guest in one of their cooking classes during the winter. They were very active during the exciting Christmas Season, had charge of the decoration of the big tree in the down stairs main hall, and participated in the “Oratorio.” Under the patient guidance of their adviser, Miss Nottbohm, the eighth graders have had a very successful year.

With their adviser Miss Ellin-wood, Marcia Brooks, president and Liz Graham, secretary, showing the way, they have had more than enough to keep them busy. Not to be outdone by the skits of the older classes at The Old Girl’s Party For the New, at which they were the guests of honor, they gave an exhibition of folk dancing to the delight ol their audience. In accordance with tradition, the girls collected great piles of toys to give to underprivileged children for a Merry Christmas. For the first time in many years, the seventh grade organized their own dramatic club, and many of the girls participated in the Junior Choir and the various Junior (Committees. Miss boss has found the seventh graders to be her strongest arguers for the merits of skating. We congratulate the Class of 1957, for their many accomplishments of this year, but keep it up, ladies, you’ve got a long pull ahead of you! 18
