In the seventh grade, our class organized and elected oiiieers. In October we held a hot dog roast- on the school grounds, At the end of the year we held a picnic at the home of l'lstl1erWl1ittleton where each had his or her share of fun. The eighth year has pre-nninenee because it is our graduation year. In Uctober we held our first class meeting and elected our officers. NVe elected president, Bernice Keeleyg vice-president, Bruee Thompsong secretary and treasurer, Beth lfloley. VVe drew up a constitution and selected for our name Junior Citizens. For our class flower wet ehose the red rose, and class colors blue and silve1'. Honest ltlffort brings Suecessf' was the motto we selected. To take care of the financial end, we1 had our regular dues. We also sold seeds which added to our funds. NVe had our meetings each month, and after tl1e business session we had a short entertztinment. We have had three parties this year, a Christmas Party and a Hallowelen Party in our 1'oom. flames were played and light refreshnients served. Valen- tine Eve we had a party in tl1e gymnasium of the sehool. NVe played games, daneed, and served refreslnnents. This was the best party of the year, one reason being that we had plenty of room. The remainder of the year we were busy preparing for Regents and our Commeneement night. The valedietorian was NVilma llarris and the salutator- ian, Itllizabetli Mepham. ,C :,I,:::t:i:...e:..:e:..-.::f: -............:..1:..-......:.,.. :::.:w..,...1a........,.......... 40:0 fa 1 5 1 l 1 1 1 1 l l 1 1 l l l l 1 l 1 l l l ll ll 1 1 l l 1 l l l ll ll l tl ll 1

Early in the fall Mr. Drews announced that assem- blies would bc in charge of a committee of teachers headed by Miss Rix, chair- man. The teachers were to plan the programs in advance and the central idea was to be student activity under teacher guidance. l Practically all meetings were conducted in the main auditorium where these weekly gatherings featured celebration of important holidays, educational talks by outside speakers, a debate, several plays and also groups of entertainers and magicians. - One ofthe high lights of the assembly schedule was the exchange of assembly programs with Sodus High School. XVe presented a program at Sodus which was well received by the Sodus student body. Later on in the year Sodus came here with a fine program built around music, and a short play. Such pro- grams should be continued as they promote a fine spirit between schools. ll F,...talfilff.fl'0fl'fTf. 112215, ill iiSf lfffT3..WH WWE i'hlyStpul1 0'1Bby' the it J ,.g u Q, s . 1 .' j ie - one zz I g c ass, a era c my ie usiness English class, a talk by Mr. Millard on his trip west, an address on Lincoln by Mr. Drisko, a lighting exhibition by the I?:ichester Gas and Electric Company, a safety talk by a welli known traffic manager, outside entertainment by profes- sional cntcrtaincrs. programs by the seventh and eighth grades, an exhibition of skill by the boys from the gymnasium classes, a travel talk by Mr. Markham and S a number of special programs and pep meetings for the athletic teams.
