Our class history is very indefinite L up o the seventh grade except for many happy reminis- cences of work and play under Miss Manning, Miss Urlla McLymond, Mrs. Brown, Miss Derrenbacker, Mrs. Porrey, and Mrs. Suter.

Dou : Did you have any new ideas or parties this year? Berry: Yes, this graduating class is the first to have a Reading Club. Each pup reading ten approved books this year received a blue seal. All but one read the ten books. Anyone who had read fifty approved books earned a Reading Testimonial from Superintendent Clark. The big social event of the year was the class party held at the school in April. All reported a fine time. Then we have Robert Place as valedictorian and Mary Beneway, salutatorian. This year the race was close. William Loftus, Gerald McCarty, and Herbert Hart all came within two points of the highest mark. Graduation is the happy climax to eight years of hard work. Doug: That's what I think too, Jerry. 20 ccllau 5 off 11194141
