CLASS OF 1939 Last September when school began the freshmen were gathered in the assembly with all the other students. All were wondering whether or not they would like high school and its activities. Since then members of the class have entered almost every activity offered. John Fisher, Walter Lynch, Richard Hilderbrand, and Paul Shafer represented the boys of the class this year in sports. Several of the girls played on the kick ball team in the tournament. In February, Shirley Sarver represented the class at the Latin contest held in Winchester. The home economics classes took two field trips. One was to the Kraft Cheese factory at Glenkarn. Here the girls saw all the processes in the making of cheese. The other trip was to the local meat markets where the girls learned of the cuts of meat and the cost of the different cuts. On November 18 the 9A's had a farewell, theater party for Martha Jane Hill. After the show all returned to the home of Patsy Fraze and had refreshments. Mr. Carroll, Mr. McCullough, and Mr. Burbage were the guests of the evening. At the freshmen-sophomore party in February the freshmen shared equal responsibility and enjoyment with tne sophomores. Several of the class worked on the committee planning for the party, and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. The class of 1939 hopes to make its sophomore year even better than its freshman year. Ju nior High School The junior high school, under the principalship of Mr. Butcher, has enjoyed a number of activities this year. One of the first events of the year was an outdoor party at the country club. Baseball was the chief sport and was an effective means of whetting the appetites for the camp supper which followed. Singing around the camp fire completed the evening. To the Mothers' club the department is indebted for the much enjoyed Christmas party. Dancing and games provided entertainment. Appropriate refreshments followed. Physical education activities are aimed to be varied, invigorating, and physically wholesome. Boys' fall activities included playground baseball, touch football, soccer, and all team games. During the winter season, besides the continuation of team games, such as volley ball, individual work and skills were developed by stunts, apparatus, and mat work. The eighth grade girls won over the seventh in a close game of Indian kick ball. Then they defeated their opponents in high school, although due to conflicting plans, the final game with the juniors was not played. The girls' health classes have received two answers to their letters to foreign countries asking for information about health conditions. Junior high school boys, under the coaching of Mr. Butcher, enjoyed a successful basketball season, winning six and losing only four games. The team took part in the Lynn junior high school tournament, losing out in the final game by one point, I 1-10. Members of the team were: Bob Guernsey, Joe Marshall, Stanley Riffle, Lowell Whitesel, Richard Birum, Norman Caplinger, Charles Gray, and Carlton Fraze. All the English classes have formed clubs and have held weekly meetings. Amateur hours, debates, and trials have provided the most interesting programs. An eighth grade class, under Miss Mangel's direction prepared an assembly program. The class clubs have sponsored English contests. Each culminated in a party given by the losing side. The eighth grade girls applied their culinary knowledge when they planned, marketed for, served, ate and criticized their breakfasts at school. Work and play have combined to make a happy year for junior high school pupils. 17
