Gigi, EcHoEs 1928 ,leg-Egg Junior High School Motto- The secret to success is constancy to purpose. The spirit manifested within the Junior High this year showed that the stu- dents were preparing themselves to take a loyal part in the larger Senior High and la- ter, the greatest school life. The students have made some very definite strides forward. Under the direc- tion of Miss Hursh each grade composed and set to music a song expressing its attitude toward the Jlmior High. Among other projects the main cast for Plymouth Rock, an operetta given by the grades, was chosen from our ranks. We are proud to say that the production was very successful. ' gk . The Washington and the Coolidge Literary Societies were organized to develop literary power by giving everyone an equal chance to develop his talent. Each society offered a regular monthly program, to which visitors came and were welcomed. , An outgrowth of literary work, was the sponsoring of several spirited debates. Affirmative and Negative teams were organized and many interesting questions set- tled. We hope' to see some of our members develop their power of oratory. Much interest has developed in Basketball. Regular practices were possible due to the renovating of one of our grade building rooms for that purpose. Both boys and girls have manifested skillful work. The faculty in charge of the department consisted of W. R. Briggs and Mildred C. Becker, the former teaching English, Geography, Spelling, Writing, and Hygiene, and the latter teaching Arithmetic, History, Civics, Reading, and Agriculture. The yearly enrollment in Junior High was 77. 5. ,M Page Thirty
