S the experienced eighth graders looked on, we, the seventh graders tasted a mxiture of almost everything possible during our first day in junior high . . . some of us were timid, some were bold, some were lost, some were hungry (having deposited our lunches, we didn't know exactly where), some ot us forgot to study, and quite a few of us forgot tne combination of our lockers. . . . At homecoming time we patched up the usual enmity between classes and joined co-operatively in making the murals in the main hallway . . . we also had several parties together, roller skating especially . . . we colored decorations of a Christmas nature when that season rolled around . . . before the Sherburn game we let out with steam at the junior high pepfest . . . anyone chewing gum in music class paid a nickel toward the March of Dimes . . . after our chewing was thus put to a stop we did some singing and even formed an octet . . . the walls were kept clean by the efforts of Bruce Killen and Howard Olson ... the Sneak Patrol was organized to drum up various forms of fun at public gath- erings . . . looking to the future we feel that John Jackson is sure to lead the basketball team in 1954 . . . Robert Johnson will break all scoring records, and Dean Hoffman will be chosen all-conference forward in 1955. more . . . Skating is so much fun, agree th»s gay bunch of eighth grade girls. 13 EIGHTH GRADERS SMILE ATTENTIVELY. Row 3: S. Christenson. L. Curtis. H. Firchau. D. Daniels. J. Jackson. N. Anderson. G. Bakke J.

,J ie case of the Erring Freshmen F ROM the first rather baffling day right through the school year the experiences of the freshmen, well ... we got off to a rather bad start when our homecoming decorations on second floor were ruined by some pranlc- sters . . . remember the junior high pepfest . . . Lucille Menne, Howie Monson. and Mari- lyn Evans were cheerleaders and LuAnn Abel led our pep band . . . our cheers echoed throughout the school . . . Mr. Weech's 2nd hour algebra class can claim all titles on having the most unusual visitor ... a dove dropped in via the ventilator . . . daring and courageous John Eppeland and Delmer Saun- ders rescued the bird . . . pink excuse slips . . . tardy slips ... we really used our share . . . the day of the March blizzard the fresh- men A class had a party on six apple pies the girls had baked . . . because only three turned up to eat them the boys were called in (and even helped with the dishes) . . . don t know how we managed to suffer through finals . . . but at last we could look forward to our picnic . . . the summer recreational program . . . girl scout camp . . . and sleeping late mornings! Hi there. greet class officers Sherry Boclc Marilyn Evans. Clem Belcher, and Jean Wick. 14
