I a Z CLASS OF 1946 It's understood that the first day of school in September is one that one hundred- eight seventh graders will never forget. To them it was an experience entirely differ- ent from any they will ever have. T'he bewildered look on their faces was something to remember. . As 7A and 7B were in the same room, they had the same home room officers, while 7C had its own separately. There were weekly meetings and minutes and business of the week were discussed. For Christmas and Easter they presented a play, both of which the seventh graders wrote. Another thing that the seventh graders has boast- ed of doing was the twice weekly inspection of lockers and the daily clean-up of their own rooms. They were a responsible group and were proud to do these things. The teachers of these grades influenced the students very much and helped to give them the initiative tow do the things they did. Because of their help the students are gratefwl to teachers, Miss Hayward, Miss Johnson, and Miss Dinsmore. As the school year ends, these students are looking forward to next September when they will see new students as bewildered as they were entering Scott Township High School for the first time 'but they also look back over their memories of the year that has just passed.

CLASS OF 1945 e When the bell for uback to schoolv rang, one hundred-two pupils entered the rooms of Mr. Rider, Mr. Beadling, and Miss Speakman, all eighth grade teachers. Al- though considered as Junior High, these students contributed to the success of all events held by the Senior High School. The individual eighth grades had their own class officers who conducted their business meetings very efficiently. They took their many studies very seriously and prepared themeselves for the final county examination that they knew they would have to take before they could pass on to high school as freshmen. But their life was not all so serious. The eighth- graders 'had a basket-ball team that made a very fine showing in the class basketball games. At different times the classes had short programs for their own entertainment and quite a few hidden stars were found. Now that their eighth grade is completed, they are looking forward -to the day that they will become full fledged freshmen. They enjoyed this 'last year and will think of it as one well-spent. They will have many more responsibilities but they will train themselves to cope with them as., they arise. -F If 1 Y '...

SCQTTIE DAY DESTROYING There are some on this earth Who like to destroy, Destroy the beautiful cities with All their splendor and joy, They like to destroy the things That man has made, from shovels to spades, They like to destroy young boys and girls Who are just starting out in life. Some day when they are old and gray, And they see their Empire crushed, They'll w-ish they hadnit started it And been a great -big bluff, They'll die in pain and hardship, As all their kind do, They'll cry and holler for their forgiveness Like all bad people do. Albert Rudge '43 YOUTH Youth, spirit, fumbling with pain, Standing in the door way 'bewildered again, I watch them each year as they come and go, Youth glorified, children no more, The step to success is through the door, Youth, serious, a new man is born, Life to them is no more forlorn, Youth blind just learning to see, With quickened pulse the glory to be, Jumping into a world cold and bare, Waiting to grasp the one who will dare, Youth, dauntless without wings of fear, Treasured insid-e are possessions so dear, Wrought from a world of guidness and care, Qf books old masters and carving, Youth plunging into a raging gale, Fighting to win and never to fail, Youth staleway proud to say, The world has need of me today. Melva Bott '43 THE SCOTTIED Yearly news is found in the Scottie , So come and be a link to the chain, As you know it isn't a doggie, But it's a book yo-u'd 'be proud to claim. Henrietta Zalot '43 '-.1 Gee! I'n1 tired and weary, Toon tired to write this poem! I've -been thinkin till Iim dizzy, Oh, why don't they let me alone. Who? Oh, them gol-darn teachers, Always pesterin for this and that, I feel like goin, I do! And just grabin my coat and hat. I'd run, and run, and run, and run, Till I'd see their likes no more, I'd never, never, never stop, Till I'd got to my own front door. Gee, maybe I'm a bit hasty, But golly! I don't care, Can I help if those gol-darn teachers, Just won't keep outa my hair. Wanda Forsythe '45 DID YOU EVER SEE 1. Ray Modeck without that wave in his hair. 2. 'Carolyn Jones when she isn't singing a jitter- bug tune. 5. Virginia Carlisle without her shadows. 4. Onnie without Sam or Zip without Babe. 5. Betty Knoerdel without her red hair. 6. Irene Paharik without My Man . 7. Lois Elwell without a Bill. 8. Frank Wilson without his Jolopy. 9. Alex Covi without a bar of Mars. 10. Ruth Stein Without her giggles. To you dear seniors we dedicate, A sincere wish of success, May the future years bring to you, A life full of happiness The impression you will leave behind, Is one that will never fade, We only hope to carry on The Scott High eighth grade.
