Junior High At last we made it!! Yes, finally we are in high school. It is only junior high, but to he sure, we have worked our way into a bigger and more satisfying atmosphere of education. Our class advisor and teacher is Miss Lila Murton. For our class officers were elected Jane Kissel as president, Ruth Schreiner as vice-president, and Kldre Beuthin as secretary and treasurer. Miss Kissel was made an honorary member of the Student Council, and along with the eighth grade president, gave the junior high some very fine representation throughout the year. “Hanzel and Gretel”, the grade school operetta, gave us a chance to show some of the fine musical and dramatic talent in the class. Boys in the class who had participated in sports throughout the year, succeeded in making a good name for themselves and in promising the high school some future sports stars. Kenneth Borne was very proud to he the only seventh grade member to he awarded a medal for his participation in basketball with the junior high team which placed second in a tournament at Boscobel. Girls in the class also competed in seasonal intramural sports such as archery, volleyball, girls basketball, pingpong, and badminton. Under the expert guidance of M iss Murton, these future high school students have made a very good showing and we know that they will continue with their good work. Backing the “V” for Victory Club 100%, the eighth grade stood out, along with their co-workers, the seventh grade, as one of the outstanding classes of the year. These pupils, staunch and hearty, and understanding the present cjrisis as one who can understand a subject that requires much concentration, were not a class that shirked defense work. Lead by M iss Helen Vi etzle as president, and assisted by Bernard Strauman as vice-president, with Madonna Hill as secretary-treasurer, the eighth grade donated large sums of money to various organizations as the milk fund. Red Cross war drive, and civil defense arm WVlsV - Social ctivities'h1ive been one of the greatest functions set'Torth by Miss Nona Deary, instructor, hi prompting the pupils to mix with one another. Several of the pupils have joined together in various parties, and their greatest thrill came when they were allowed to go to pre-prom. Among the social events that the pupils participated in were “Hansel and Gretel”, grade school operetta, Valentine parties, Christmas party, and Easter get-to-gether, as well as selling tickets for the senior and junior activities, making artistic properties and posters to advertise their activities. The thought that next year, “We’ll be sitting up in the assembly along with those above us,” gives a thrill unequaled to many of the students. Next year-I t'c will be called high school students’.! in their minds, and they strive to wu!vj fici class for their main object, Miss N. Deary Miss L. Murton
