The Shull'l'on EDITORIAL A Backward Glance Robert Howard, 9-l ' We all know that if we are successful, We spend only twelve years of our life in school. This is a comparatively short time in relation to the many years we are out making our way in the world. Just ten months ago we, the ninth grade class, were at the beginning of our last year at Shull Junior High School. Many incidents have occurred which will leave a permanent im- pression upon our minds. In September, 1934, we began with a bang by organiz- ing a strong football team, and after Christmas, a first-class bas- ketball team. The spirit of the Shullites came to the surface then, for all the games were well attended, and after all, cooper- ation is the main factor in the success of anything, great and small. Shortly after the first of the year, work began on the an- nual operetta, the bright spot of the whole year of outstanding achievements. Our operetta was, as you all know, entitled The Toreadorsf' There were, of course, many smaller functions which commanded just as much interest, but which did not re- quire so many participants. Now the time has come for us, the ninth grade class, to say goodbye to Shull. Our journey to Easton High School sig- nifies much more than a mere change of scenery. It is the be- ginning of a trail which leads to the finer and higher thing?s of life. You who remain in Shull have much to look forward to in future years, and we wish you the greatest success in every- thing Which you attempt. So, it is with deepest regret that we bid farewell to Shull, and its faculty who have be-en so helpful to us in our stay here. ln Memoriam IT WAS WITH DEEPEST REGRET THAT WE LEARNED OF THE DEATH OP IRENE LOUISE HAHN, A POPULAR STUDENT OF SECTION 8-3. WE WISH TO EXTEND OUR SINCEREST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY. H1172

The Shullion Marching Forward Grace Seip, 9-1 The theme of our last issue is that of a circus, chosen be- cause of the pleasure which the circus affords everyone. Its pleas- ing surprises remind us of those awaiting us at Easton High School. Although we regret to leave Shull, still we are expect- ant and curious of our future activities. Saying good-bye to our teachers, fri-ends who have helped us in ev-ery undertaking, is a diflicult thing to do, and it is with sorrow that we do so. As we go on, acquiring more knowledge, we will always. be making new friends. However, our friends, formed among Junior High School teachers seem to be more than helpers. They see that we understand our work thoroughly before they pro-- ceed to more difficult phases. In institutions of higher educa- tion the teachers are quite diHerent. Th-ey resemble overseers who look upon the students as men and women, needing only orders and brief explanations. So, the bridge from Junior to Senior High School covers the gap from childhood to maturity. Thus, as we look forward to our future experience, it is sadness which accompanies us away from the door of Shull. As we think of all the happy occurrences which are ever pr-esent in our memory, we wish the best of luck to our Alma Mater, Shull Junior High School. Thoughis on Leaving Shull Marie Van Doren, 9-1 Farewell to Shull. our term now ending, Three happy years have passed. and we must part Our steps to Senior High will soon be wending. But as we go, we leave with heavy heart. The happy days I spent in this dear school. Will long remain a treasure in my heart Our books, our play, our rules- But now the best of friends must part. Those that follow in our steps To carry on the work we now forsake, Vkfe hope they don't lack the pep, . To keep the teachers wide awake. Farewell to Shull, we now are leaving We hope our teacher's won't be grieving! IB!!
