THE USHERS The bus drivers of the Orland Park Com- munity High School are two very likable men, Norman Yunker and Herman Duehr. Besides their daily bus routes both men have driven to out of town sports events and have taken various school groups on excursions. We are proud to have Mr. Yunker and Mr. Duehr as our bus drivers. Mr. lvar Benson, who is a very ambitious cus- todian of the Orland High School, has been with the school for the last thirteen years, Ben, as he is known by almost everyone, takes pride in keep- ing the school clean. lt is a pleasure to study and play in the neat and clean atmosphere achieved by Ben.

GIRLS' GYM Every second and fifth period during the past year the gym became a no man's land as the girls took over. For the first time at Orland, the girls learned to participate in sports which were governed by girls' rules instead of by boys' rules as in the past. Teams were organized and the girls engaged in basketball, volleyball and baseball tournaments. .42. Toward the close of the year a G.A.A. was organized and officers were elected as follows: President, Marjorie Yunkerg Vice-president, Agnes Spechtg and Secretary-Treasurer, Ann Blew. Spon- sor of G.A.A. is Miss Holger, the girls' gym teacher. With the initiation of this organization, the girls are looking forward to a bigger and bet- ter physical education program next year.

THE MINOR LEAGUES SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES We began this school year with an enroll- ment of 29 pupils. The sixth grade is the largest class with 15. There are 7 students in the seventh grade and 7 in the eighth grade. Our first social affair of the year was the Halloween Party. The Spook House was the highlight of this event. Many of the boys and girls came dressed in vari- ous costumes. On the day preceding Christmas holidays, several members of the class presented a play based on Dickens' Christmas Carol. We in- vited the children from the other grades to see the play. Later we had our Christmas Party and gift exchange. Shortly after the beginning of the second semester, Paul Mell joined our sixth grade class. He was not enrolled at the time the group picture was taken. The Valentine Party provided much enjoyment for all of us. An artistic piece of work was demonstrated by the valentine box committee. On March 15, our room made a trip in the school bus to visit the Museum of Natural Science and lndustry. We saw many interesting exhibits of mans industrial achievements. This school year will reach its climax on june 3, with the eighth grade graduation exercises.
