Miss Ash was our class adviser and our officers were Dorothy Rice, president; Bob Sizeland, vice-president; and ScottRandall, secretary and treasurer. Scott was ut first unwilling to uccept the office because he said he didn't have a watch to keep the minutes of the meeting. Our classes were to have two parties but because of bud behavior we only had one joint party. This was a Christmas party (t Yoenan Hall. The eighth grado, however, had a party of all winter sports at Dorothy Rice's.

It was played during noon hours by the students not leaving the school for lunch. One room in the basement was given over to it and during the winter it proved extremely popular. A tournament was held ond by a process of elimination a champion and a runner-up were selected. Kenneth Garrett proved best with the wooden paddle and Warren Taylor his runner-up. Let’s hope the activity is carried on in future years cs it is really n very interesting and popular sport.
