COLORS: Green and White. SONG: “America.” We have had a happy year and have worked hard to try to make our room the best in the school. We have enjoyed our teacher, Mrs. Moore, and it has been fun to go up into the High School room for Social Studies each day at 2:30 where Mr. McCormick is our teacher. We organized a Citizenship Club in October and elected Joan Johnson, president; Jeannette Kawulok, vice president; Barbara Fleming, secretary. We have had some good 14

 tc ieAten, tyuHiox tyA, ScAaoC This year was a very progressive one for the Junior High. They had three teach- ers: Mrs. Aken taught penmanship, English, mathematics, and spelling. Mr. McCormick taught agriculture, science, and history. Mrs. Belding taught literature. At the beginning of the year, the Junior High organized a Citizenship Club which proved successful. The home room teacher, Mrs. Aken, ordered 1.000 pencils for the club to sell. We sold these at a 50% profit which gave the club enough money for cur- rent expenses and several parties. The first event was a Hallowe’en party and the club paid for the refreshments. They also had a Valentine party. Mr. McCormick played his accordion. They danc- ed and played games. Refreshments were served at the close of the party. The Citizenship Club bought a new United States flag for the Junior High room. It is made of rayon silk. The officers of the Citizenship Club were elected twice during the year. The first election was as follows: President—Douglas McLean Treasurer—Robert Lyman Vice President—Dale Schilling Sergeant-at-arms—Raymond Kawulok Secretary—Betty Lou Goodill The mid-semester election resulted: President—Dale Schilling Vice President—Betty Lou Goodill Secretary—Douglas McLean Treasurer—Robert Lyman Sergeant-at-arms—Raymond Kawulok The club elected committees every two weeks to watch and take care of the play- ground, the stairs, blackboards, and library table. The name of our club is the “Ranchester 7th and 8th Grade Citizenship Club.” Our motto: “Onward and Upward;” our song is, “Wyoming;” our colors: Red and Blue.” Dale Schilling won the prize for having the highest average in history throughout the year. We decided we learned more in “grammar” than in any other class but more of us chose agriculture as the favorite subject. IS —Dale Schilling and Douglas McLean.

parties. Our first one was Hallowe’en when we joined with the Primary room. Mr. McCormick played for us while we had our parade of masks. We scared Mrs. Aken’s room when we marched in. Darlene Fleming, Norma Hauf and Richard Masters won the prizes for the most horrible looking masks. At Christmas we gave a play, “A Visit to Santa Claus,” at the hall. Everyone en- joyed it. Several from our room helped the Primary Room with their Christmas play too. We were delighted with the beautiful costumes Mrs. Belding and the Home Eco- nomics girls made for us. Everyone thought our costumes were wonderful. Our most exciting party was when we surprised our teachers. We gave each of them an appropriate card with a message of appreciation and a beautiful letter opener bearing the bucking horse insignia of Wyoming. We had plenty of ice cream and home made cookies. Another good party was a colonial flap-jack party when our teachers fed us New England style pancakes with real Vermont maple syrup. Our last party was a fine spring picnic which we held at Richard Rubottom’s ranch. We had plenty to eat and spent our time playing games. In athletics, Richard Masters, David Haliowell and Richard Lyman have gone out for basketball. Richard Masters, David Hallowed, Jeannette Kawulok and Barbara Fleming read the most books from our approved list. During the year we made many nice posters and maps. Richard Rubottom did the best lettering. Barbara Fleming won the prize for having the highest average for the year in social studies. During the year our room received new Thorndike dictionaries and some new music albums. The last half of the year we’ve enjoyed joining with Mrs. Aken’s room twice a week to learn our senior choir songs under Mrs. Marjorie Owens. Several from our room are taking piano lessons too. We are glad it is spring and vacation time but if next year can be as happy as this year we will be glad to come back.
