No Bells For Transplanfed EighTh Graders 'li' - '-s... N. wx-N D er auses dur h Ddwrl y p ing t e hectic rush between classes. With no bells in the portable classrooms, students were often excused early. 8 EighTh graders spenT Their year aT Rickards in porT- able classrooms back oT The caTeTeria. When school opened, The porTables weren'T finished and eighTh graders Trudged To class Through boards, nails and debris. They walked up cinder block sTeps To learn To add, subTracT, spell, wriTe and adjusf To life. DespiTe The TacT ThaT There were no bells and inTer- school communicaTions in The porTables, eighTh graders were noT cuT OTT from Rickards. They boughT annuals, newspapers, came To ballgames, giggled on The paTio aT lunch, Traded secreTs, dis- cussed subjecTs-and Teachers. They pracTiced hard in chorus To sing Tor The school and public. They began Their band Training in earnesT, preparing To move up To The Rickards senior band in a year To Two. They excelled. The junior high band made a su- perior raTing in The TirsT marching conTesT ever en- Tered. EighTh graders Tried hard To make The honor roll, and many did. They were larger in numbers This year by 50. The class ToTaled 281 This year. SomeTimes They were maTure, someTimes They were silly. Always, They were eighTh graders, jusT one sTep away from a sevenTh grader, yeT Trying To acT as Though They were freshmen already. Eighth grade chorus practiced many hours for concerts presented before the public and student body. 4
