Although they possessed that quality gills , that is characteristic of all Freshmen, they gradually became accustomed to associating with the polished upper classmen. Their social activities have been few as they have been devoting their time to hard study, especially those who were exposed to Latin. The Sophomores welcomed the newcomers into the fold by giving a Weiner roast at Deep Cut and then in turn the Freshmen entertained their former hosts at a similar affair at Peggy's Inn. The class is very proud of the fact that both of their representatives in the oratorical contest won over their opponents. And now as the year is drawing to a close and soon their Freshman days will be over, they are looking forward to the time when they shall return as Sophomores of S. H. S. and be one step nearer their goal, which is a high school education. 22 ll-n

At that time, under Superintendent V. O. Tolle, the seventh and Wi 5 eighth grades were departmentalized, and the school was organized on the 6-2-4 plan. The faculty of the new department consisted of Hazel Spyker and Eva Miller, the former teaching Arithmetic, Civics, Geography, Spelling and Writing, and the latter teaching English, History, Reading and Hygiene. Many advantages are derived from departmental work, one being each teacher teaches subjects for which she is best fitted. Departmentalized seventh and eighth grades creates a High School atmosphere and leads to a desire for higher school work. It creates a spiritn of co-operation between each grade as well as with the Senior High School. The Junior High School has a weekly chapel offering opportunities for literary training. Boys' and Girls' Glee club have been organized by Miss Hursh, music director. A little industrial arts has been taught this year in the art classes under Miss Hursh. Some of the useful things made were reed Flower vases by the seventh grade pupils, and serving trays and library and boudoir lamps by the eighth year pupils. Two pictures were added in the eighth year room, purchased with money raised through the sale of empty medicine bottles and old magazines. The pictures are, The Windmill by Ruysdael, and End of Day by Emile Adan. The pupils were thus given a practical lesson in thrift, and in helping to beautify school rooms. The enrollment for the year was seventh grade pupils, 343 eighth year pupils, 40. 24
