Eighth Grade . . . Sept. 3. This was a big day, and a sore one for our toes. We were half scairt to death until we glimpsed Mrs. Pearson going to our room.

V i r ginia Miller The thirty-three members of the Freshman class have proven a real asset to the high school this year. To quote one of its members: Our hilarity has been exceeded only by our good intentions. The freshmen held two parties this year and did their stunt at the all-school mixer. They have taken an active part in all A. S. B. activities. A number of the boys have been active in athletics and have turned out regularly for basketball practice. Some of the Freshmen girls have appeared publicly in the Girls' Glee Club and several of the boys have been taking band with Mr. Walker. CLASS POEM We've tried to keep our pep up, And mentally to step up, Also to keep our rep up, As cheerful Freshies must- We've made our mouths like grinners, We poor young Freshman sinners, And we'll turn out as winners, Before we turn to dust. l15l

This course is required of all Seniors. Social and vocational civics is required of all Freshmen. Miss Berg has 35 members in the class this year. Social and vocational civics aims to instruct students in better citizenship and to introduce them to the vocations, explaining their advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Putnam teaches world his- tory, an elective subject. ' SCIENCE ' Mr. Putnam is science instructor in the high school. His department offers general science for the Freshmen, biology for sophomores, and, on alternate years, chemistry and physics for upper classmen. Mr. Putnam has forty-nine enrolled in the three sciences this year. One year of science is required for high school graduation. MANUAL TRAINING Manual training is a very popular department with the boys. Mr. Hall has charge. The department has recently acquired a turning lathe, which permits the making of a greater variety of projects than was possible before. The first year course offers drawings and woodwork. First semester the boys take up drawing, producing twenty-five plates. Second semester is woodwork, in which the student draws his project, choses his material and constructs the pieces. Two small, simple pieces or one larger, more complex piece is made. Second year work is cabinet making. Forty-two students, including eighth graders, are enrolled this year. l17l
