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.

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 ShulI'l'on LITERARY Class His'I'ory It was during the worst depression the world had ever known that men were busily engaged in a relief project at the Shull Junior High School: blasting was necessary many times. As one of these explos.ions was taking place, a large rock was dislodged from the bank, under which was found a sheet of paper-old, but neatly folded. Upon examination, it was found to be a document issued to a group of boys and girls, giv- ing them permission to evade daily Shull Junior High School for a period of three years, but with several provisions-that they make good use of their time, be loyal to their school, and protect its property. They would then be known as loyal Shul1ites, Early in September, 1932, anxiously and fearfully, these same Shullites ' entered the master building, located at the corner of Berwick and 'S-eitz Streets, for the first time. Under the guidance of Mr. Stecker and his assistants, a place was found for all. , The year went by in a humdrum sort of way, and when the summer vacation came, it meant little more than just a good time, exc-ept that each p-erson was. to go on to a higher grade when next the school bells would ring. In the fall, the same group with less eager faces but brighter eyes marched in an orderly manner to their various classrooms, anxious to g-et started on th-eir year's work and show their scholastic, athletic, and musical abilities. This year they proved to be a help rather than a hindrance to their neighbors, and it was with regret that they departed to their various homes for a two months' rest. ' Many ev-ents took place during the following yearp The Shullton required much attention, the operetta much 'prac- tice, and the lessons much study. To the best all-round boy and girl representing his and her class, the American Legion offered an award. The posture contest was held in which many of the Shu1l- ites competed. The three best boys and girls were given pins: gold, silver, and bronze-according to their rating of posture. On the twenty-second of May, a celebration was held and the May Queen was crowned, various dances were enjoyed, and the relay races proved exciting to the end. eleven
