Mary Roush and Kathy Braden working hard in Core. You had many activities in Junior High School. You might have been in the band or in one of the choral groups. If you wanted to be a teacher, you joined the F.T.A. and perhaps gained some useful knowledge and experience as a teacher's aide. Did you enjoy dramatics? There was the Speech and Dramatics Club. One of the organizations that really made you feel a part of Seneca was the Stu- dent Council. This might have been your first ex- perience in attending and participating at an im- portant meeting. Other clubs and extra-curricular activities were phases of your junior high days, and as you go on to high school, there will be many more such organizations and affairs in which to participate. The junior high school is not completely sep- arated from the senior high school. l'm sure you recall the excitement of the Junior Classical League calendar contest. You had four fine representatives whom you nominated and entered in the compe- tition. You were so proud of them. They did look lovely, so calm and poised. When the bell rang, indicating that homeroom period was over, where did you go first? Was it Core, Art, Science, Shop, Home Economics? What- ever it was, you learned something new. English and history were difficult in core. Sometimes you felt the hours would never pass. Once in awhile though, you might have gone outside for a ball game as Mr. Moiseis classes often did. What a relief that was from the daily grind!

To You., Junior Reclskin Remember your first day at Seneca? It was way back in the sixth grade. Seems like a long time ago, doesnft it? Your elementary school seemed so small when you returned from Sixth Grade Day. That very clay marked the beginning of your life at Seneca. The school year ended, summer rolled by, and again it was time for school to begin. But this year was different. This year you would be going to Seneca. You were a little hesitant, a little scared, but you couldnlt wait. '4All those people, you thought to yourself, H1711 be lost in the crowd of peoplelw However, that first horrible day was soon over, and you made many new friends. Soon, you discovered that even when surrounded by fellow classmates, YOU were an individual, a real person at Seneca. Good morning Each day was a challenge. Every morning Mr. Glasgow greeted you with a cheery '6Good morn- ing. You soon realized what a 'ggood guyl' your principal was and what a help Mrs. Coodell, Mr. Wright, and Mrs. Gleaves were. 288 yy., Join the line for ice cream-Sixth Grade Day You rapidly recognized the fact that your junior high school had some of the best teachers in the world, and they were yours! They were so willing to get you started off on the right foot. During homeroom there was always something to do, whether it was to study for a test or just to have a chance to talk. Remember school picture day? Wasn't it fun to see all the boys dressed in their white shirts, ties, and jackets and the girls in such attractive outfits with each hairdo so carefully done? Wasnlt the Christmas basket drive wonderful? It could never have been accomplished without your cooperation. You really donated the cans to help the needy families have a happier Christmas. ix ' f , f' ' I . M., f 4 , , MMM-M ri - g g . f fi, Y 'n xx i ' w T ' 7 Q 1 5 N .5 V2 ,Y ' '41 .

The day was always full of things to do from homeroom to three o'clock. When that final hell of the day rang, there was a sigh of relief and a mad rush for the door. The day was over, but there would be another one tomorrow. You, Junior Redskin, the one who advances to the eighth grade next year, will have all this to look forward to again. Seneca Junior High School is just the beginning of the wonderful road that lies ahead. Take advantage of every chance you have to show what you, the individual, can ac- complish. Establish your goals and work toward them. Have high ideals and demonstrate your be- lief in them. Whether the task be simple or complicated, al- ways do your best. Develop good study habits and you will become a better student. The better stu- dents usually have the first opportunities to be- come good leaders because they are known to be reliable. Maintain a faultless reputation, it will be your best asset in the not too distant high school future. A full day with a crowded stairway. You, Junior Redskin, the one who will enter Seneca High School next year, realize the value of the past two years. Think back to your first day at Seneca. How different you were then. Somehow you have changed, somehow you have become the person that you are. This change was not an accident. This matured, much wiser, better in- formed individual is the result of two years of your hard work, superior in- struction, and constant supervision by a principal and counselors devoted to the ideal of helping you to develop your talents and abilities. These two years span one of the most interesting periods in your growth and development. They have been fun. DON'T EVER FORGET YOUR LIFE AS A JUNIOR REDSKIN. Your Junior High School 290
