2362678 The county test was the big topic of the eighth grade. we were quite proud to rate a HBH average. Man of us were able to become members of the newly formed band, majorettes, and mixed chorus. There were a few new teachers also, Mr. Sterrett and Mr. Springer. We had our troubles too--M s. Randolph was afraid to sit down because Mr. McRoberts chair was a little too wiggly. There was a victory for the girls when they beat the boys at volley ball, but the boys think they might have won if it hadn't been for Mr. Edwards and Mr. McRoberts playing for the girl's team. This year also brought about a few more changes. Instead of hav- ing seperate banquets for each activity there was a big banquet for all activities. The cheerleaders worked very hard to get new uniforms, The dramatics club had a fortywniners party that was a great success, All the boys had to leave their guns with the sheriff--Mr. Sterrett. As this last year began, we were having quite a time keeping the ninth grade supplied with homeroom teachers, we had two substitutes before Mr. Bush decided he might just as well make the best of our home- room, we had another new subject added to our sched le--algebra, but a few of us decided to take advanced math. As one of our extra activities we put on the play Q Christmas Carol using the new arena type stage, For our first class party we went skating, The Critics Club presented many fine films. we celebrated Washington's Birthday with a class party and had enough food to supply his arm . It was lots of fun, especially with the boys doing the dishes. Well, that ends the history of our years in the Pstterson Township School. In some ways it seems that it was only yesterday we started up those high steps for the very first day of school. we thought it would take a lifetime to complete the nine years, but here we are ready to graduate and close our part of the history of Patterson Township School.
