MIDDLE SCHOOL The 9th Grade Makes a great deal of noise 'Cause they're continually thinking of boys. To study or class They're most always late, Because they've lost their glasses Or thought of a date. We may be new to Middle School, We may be slow and small. You know we never break a rule- No sir, we break 'em all! The 7th Grade- Yet hail to the Ninth, May their learning increase- And with our Student Council Make their lasting peace! The 9th Grade. We suppose that we should be writing a poem about ourselves, but that would be going from bad to verse. The 8th Grade is very talkative. In fact, we are known around the Middle School building as the little grade with the big mouth. Too, some of the members of our group have taken a fancy to imitating guns and cannons, but if one ignores them they usually go away. The 8th Grade has a lot of faults, but at least we have the distinction of not being shy. And we hope that these 'Faults will pass, Until we're just like the Senior class! The 8th Grade. 28

Though our way is best, to our great distress, We finally relent in the end, For we think of the next year, we hope and we fear, The teacher must be a friend! We'd like to attain, through struggle and pain, The fruits ofa dignified year. For the Senior delights, in those priviledged rights That make living worthwhile, we hear! 30
