They are Linda Stone, Counselors Aid Eighth Graders With Schedules We,ve finally made iti' was a familiar chanting around Union High in the fall, when around 337 happy, smiling eighth graders entered for the first time. Eager to find out what high school was all about, these students accepted their everyday routine after being divided into 11 homerooms. Along with the ninth graders, they were considered lower gradersf, They had lunch at the lower grade recess, attended assembly on Thursdays, and had long homeroom period on Tuesdays. The guidance counselors were particularly concerned with this group of students, most of them around 13 and 14 years of age. They helped them, one at a time in the presence of their parents, to plan the course of study they would follow toward graduation. The eighth graders were required to study English, general science, history, and math. During their study periods they engaged in physical education, band, or chorus. They were also eligible to apply for positions on the GLEAM and Hi-Life staffs. The only club for eighth graders was the Science Discovery club, but they could be members only if they maintained a science average of B or above. Approximately 150 of the eighth graders were trans- ported to and from school by bus. Around 125 of them had lunch in the cafeteria every day. Some were seen during their recess eating lunches brought from home. This year the eighth grade elected class oiiicers. Mrs. Richbourg was their sponsor.
