One bright September morn, in the year 1925, the Seventh Graders marched proudly into the Junior High. There are forty-nine pupils in this grade, filled with both hope and fear of the future. We realized that it would be harder work, but were proud to know that we were through with the grades, and were members of the J unior High. A few weeks after school started, Mr. Amundsen, our advisor, called a class meeting and the following ofIicers elected: Ralph Ladoen,president; Kathryn Morrison, treasurer; Robert Fulton, secretary. During the month of J anuary we had a class meeting and planned a sleigh-riding party. Kathryn Morrison, Ralph Ladoen, Lillian Henry and Robert Fulton, four of our Seventh Graders, are active members of the Booster Club. They were elected last year by their class while they were still Sixth Graders. The Booster Club has a great deal to do with the planning of parties for the J unior High School. The J unior High has organized many different clubs. The girls play Bat Ball or Basket Ball. We also have our hiking clubs and winter sports. t We are all working hard fer the V. J . H. emblem. We are looking forward to next year when we will be Eighth Graders, and will not be con- sidered the least in the J unior High. -33h

funior High Activities The J unior High system has proved a success in the Viroqua schools. Aside from its regular school curriculum, outside activities have been intro- duced. The purpose of these is to make the student familiar with activities similar to those which he will encounter in the Senior High. It gives him a chance to earn a V. J . H. The activities for girls are: Outing Club, basketball, batball, Camp Fire Girls, Home Economics Club, declamatory, Glee Club, Essay Contest and Agriculture Club. The boys have the following activities: Foot ball, basketball, track, oratory, chorus, Essay Contest, Ag. and Radio Clubs, and Boy Scouts. Both boys and girls may participate in these activities: Booster Club, Reading Circle, Dramatics, Science Club, Yell Leader, Class Officers, Debate, Good Manner Posters, perfect attendance, news reporting and Band. The social life also receives good care. The Junior High pupils are allowed a social hour, from four to five, on every other Monday afternoon, in the assembly room. Each grade may have a party and a picnic during the school year. In addition to this, the entire J unior High has two all-school parties during the year.
