Last September we entered the eighth grade and began activities which have changed dur- ing the four seasons. In social studies we learned about famous persons and events as closely to the holiday or anniversary as possible. We studied the geo- graphy, history and civics of the United States and the other countries of the western hem- isphere. Many maps were drawn. In math- ematics, we covered the major topics in arith- metic, algebra and geometry which were re- lated to the needs of everyday life. In English- Part I, we learned correct English usage, spell- ing, vocabulary and diagramming. In Eng- lish-Part II, we learned poems, wrote com- positions and made booklets suitable to the seasons or special weeks. Original autumn poems were entered in the Scholastic awards contest. 'Thank-You letters were written after Christmas. We planned the First book reports during Book Week. We sent international let- ters to Argentina and Chile. In safety and health we learned ways to eliminate hazards. In art we drew scenes of nature and made picture maps. In current events, we discussed world problems. In music we learned many songs of the seasons. Physical education varied as to the games played indoors and out. Many pupils participated in the band, or- chestra or choir. Some of the girls were baton twirlers. We enjoyed seasonal sports and learned to practice good sportsmanship. Other pupils belonged to the Journalism Club. Several of our boys gave good service during the Hood. For I-Iallowe'en, Christmas and St. Valen- tine's Day, we enjoyed homeroom parties. Later the annual Junior High party was held in the gym, with St. Patrick's Day decorations and progressive Irish games. In the fall we elected officers for our home- rooms. In homeroom meetings we discussed our class problems. Various committees were appointed. High school courses were explained and decided upon. We filled Junior Red Cross Christmas boxes and donated money to fund drives. Thus eighth grade has been very interesting this year. Our activities planned according to the seasons made the work more enjoyable. INC hope to be successful in passing our Regents examinations this June.
