EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY Our class, although it is on the outermost fringe of the web, has incurred the envy of the whole school because we are the lucky inhabitants of the new addition. Occupying different rooms, we still, nevertheless, have carried out our class activities as one group. Election of officers was the first business on the agenda. Vigorous campaigning and elections were again held after Christmas vacation. we now feel like veteran politicians. Thirteen shinning faced musicians, our contribution to the music department, trooped gallantly into the music room to report for class the first day the band was reorganized. Poor Mr. Peterson! Admist showers of rain and mud, Old Ossie paid his an- nual visit to Vashon. Proving their turf ability were Ed Kennett and Robert Moore, winning first and second places. On October 30 we arrived at the high school music room at eight o'clock sharp for our first party of the year. The refreshments were delicious and everyone had a good time. Even the spooks and hobgoblins seemed to be enjoying them- selves. Our Halloween party having been such a success, we held a Christmas social in our room the twenty-first of December. we exchanged gifts and then had a program. The other rooms probably did 't appreciate our noise, but we had a wonderful time. Instead of buying CARE packages as the class of last year had done, we decided to send ten dollars to the Times Needy Children's Fund. It made our treasury sag a little, but everyone agreed it was well worth it. December also ushered in the question of who was going to represent our class in the Homecoming Court. After a close contest the field was narrowed down to two. The whole student bod then voted on the candidates. When the results were announced it was found that Marlene Kalland had been chosen to reign as eighth grade princess for the enchanted night of December twenty-first. Participating in the Christmas Vespers Service put on by the music department was our girls' chorus, which sang three carols. Our eighth, and last year in the grades, has now been completed.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTCRY Our buzzings have just begun, but judging from our many achievements this year the hum will be a mighty one by the time we take our place as superior seniors. Being business as well as pleasure minded we brought with us forty dollars, which we had made last year on our basket social. A party, strictly for freshmen, was the main social event of the year. A good time was had by all and the re- freshments, well yum, yum! We had a football team of our own--and were we proud of it. Mr. Schweikl was coach with almost twenty boys turning out. Wilbur Spencer, Dick Ellingson, Roy Miettemum, Charles Watson, Jeff Smith, Martin Larson, Corwin Swift, Jim Grover, Jerry Johanson, Jim Lynch, Wood Hed an, Dave Tellvick, Rex Johanson, Bill Miller, Eddie Schmidt, and Joe Green earned their first letter. . We didn't win them all but we did come out victorious over Bellevue, Dave and Woody each making two touchdowns. To help celebrate our victory Mrs. Price baked us one of her special cakes. Boy, was it good! In basketball, too, we made our mark. Fifteen turned out and we think they did a mighty good job. At all the games, cheering with an abundance of pep and enthusiasm, were our freshmen yell leaders, Barbara Daniels, Sally Edson, Judy Hineman, and Joanne Christensen. Danny Wilsie brought further fame to us when he was chosen as one of the leading characters in the all school play. As Paul, the younger brother of a spoiled teen-age sister, he displayed his fine acting ability to advantage. Our class was represented in the Homecoming Court by Maxine Beall, as lovely as any fairy tale princess of old. Nineteen of our girls were active members of G.A.A. and Patty Gates was even made captain of the volley ball team. Joan McLeod and Sally Evans made the playday trip to Mt. Si and participated on winning teams. We believe that we have made a good beginning in high school and are looking forward to next year with anticipa- tion and confidence.
