The Eighth Graders try to appear quite nonchalant the first day to impress the newcomers, but in spite of outward appear- ances are really very proud to think that only one short nine-month term stands between them d Senior High School. Yes, they really are al- ready in high school, l A the students often forget that ours is a six-year high school and the feeling persists that there is a great gulf fixed be- tween the eighth and ninth grades. However, the Junior High folks go quietly about showing the Senior High people how useful they are in the scheme of things as they are, as well as necessary to the scheme of things as they will be. Consider what they contribute to the music of the school. Fifteen of them are found in the Senior Band and six in the Senior Orchestra, thirteen in the Junior Band and six in Junior Orchestra. They also provide a pianist to accompany the soloists in contest work. As to their part in public performances-don't you remember the pyramid building and tumbling stunts the gymnasium classes demon- strated at the basketball games? Surely you remember their contri- bution to the Christmas program, the play, The Lost Merry Christmas, and their convocation program, a variety show in which they featured a band, a skit, and several musical numbers. And don't forget the trim, white-clad messengers who went about the halls crying above the carni- val din, Te1egram! Paging Paul Blessing! They were Junior High

in Ugczlzficfsst Speaking of the carnival, we have the Freshmen to thank for stir- ring up much of the student enthusiasm that advertised the event. Their posters and the public crowning of their candidates started the other classes to boosting their Kings and Queens. This class also takes the lead in the matter of class parties. The Seniors wait till commencement season to start doing things g the Juniors frugally save their pennies to put on the nicest banquet in ban- quet historyg the Sophomores let the movie stars entertain themg but the Freshmen hop into their own planes for a flight to Partyland. Such a night as they chose for their flight--the temperature hovering near thirty below, and a furious wind drifting the blinding snow. In spite of the protests of their elders, more than half of the class turned out. All is snug and warm in the auditorium, the ceiling is bright with balloons and planesg crepe paper helmets lend atmosphere, progressive games and program numbers keep hands and minds occupied. t'What matter how the night wind raves? The Freshmen are last, but not least in the matter of Class Day con- vocations. A huge book opens on the stage and as the pages are turned the outstanding events of the Freshman year are entertainingly review- ed. What does the future hold for this class? What honors will it bring to its school? What names will the individuals win for themselves? Per- haps a future governor of Nebraska noav sits in algebra class trying to figure out what X equals, or a second Babe Ruth rolls spit-balls in the study hall.

Cyganfiafeez ecfelzfg grads boys having the time of their life. Not yet completely drawn into the whirlpool of school activity the Seventh and Eighth Graders turn to their class work for recreation as well as profit. David and Allen have great fun constructing the Thimble Theatre and drawing the films which appear on its screen. Letter writing is interesting when one really sends the letters he writes and receives beautifully illustrated travel folders in return. Civics isn't at all confusing if the class organizes a model town and carries out all the functions of government from incorporating to amending ordi- nances. Projects and booklets furnish an excellent excuse for browsing through magazines, and spelling reviews call for a game of baseball with words. Literature means reading, and reading is food and drink to some of those Seventh Graders who have reading lists a Senior might envy. No, school isn't all fun. Sometimes the answers to the problems just won't come right, the history lesson is dull, or the geography as- signment long. What's the use of grammar anyway? What's the dif- ference if I say I or Me ? Now vocations is a sensible subject. It makes a lot of difference whether a fellow is going to be an engineer or a doctor. Gym classes? They are more play than work. Three cheers for gym classes! The Juniors have their social times, too-picnics in the spring and fall, a lunch together at noon, a Home Room party. Perhaps their good times seem simple to the more sophisticated upper classmen, but the Juniors donit care. They are enjoying life immensely, and that is all that matters.
