EIGHTH GRADE HE EIGHT GRADE has had a very interesting and exciting year. We have kept up the tradition for active citizenship by being well represented in choir, band, orchestra and the Journalism Club. VVe participated in the Junior Red Cross drive and the March of Dimes campaign as well as giving adequate support to our usual school activities. ' All the homerooms have had capable committee members who have kept the bulletin boards attractive and seasonable. The Christmas decorations were especially lovely and helped make the holiday parties outstanding events of the year. Basketball has held the biggest interest in sports. The Eight Three boys were the winners and one of their number had the honor of being on junior Varsity. The All-Stars also won over the Seventh by a very narrow margin. The important school project of the year has been our literature booklets entitled Our His- tory in Prose and Poetry. We have enjoyed working on them very much. This year, many of us will take regents for the first time because of the change from geog- raphy to social studies. However, we are hoping for the best in order that we may look back on our achievements as Eighth Graders with pride. We wish our successors as happy and eventful a year as ours has been.

SEVE TH GR DE E MUST CONFESS that we all felt like strangers last fall when we arrived at the O. F. A. It was almost like starting school again as a kindergarten pupil. But now as we think back it was all very amusing. During the fall we elected class officers and Student Council Representatives. They proved to be very satisfactory throughout the year. In Social Studies an interesting project was a historical scrapbook on early Owego. We also made other scrapbooks on g'Treasure Island and Rip Van Winkle which we read for English. We are proud of our students in band, orchestra, choir, and Journalism Club. Another ac- tivity for the boys is the Junior High Basketball Team. The Seventh Graders were victorious over the Eighth Graders in the all star games. Christmas was celebrated with a party and on Valentine's Day we exchanged valentines. An- other highlight of the year was a history contest in which everyone participated. The Seventh Graders are pleased because they did so well collecting money for charities such as the Red Cross and Infantile Paralysis. We have enjoyed this, our first year as members of the O. F. A., and hope, as countries all over the world are hoping, to gain the benefits of peace through understanding and cooperation.
