Eighth Grade Eighth graders, too, have their extra school activi- ties. The main organization for the boys is the Model Airplane Club. This club meets once a month in the school gymnasium to judge the airplanes which the boys make. These are judged on ap- pearance, their flying ability, and the best plans. Another seventh and eighth grade group is “Boys’ Town”. This club will be active next year. In the fall of 1937, A Junior Sunshine Club, former- ly called the Sunbeam Society was organized for the eighth grade girls. This club presents programs of interest to girls and serves as an introduction to the later girls’ organizations. Fifteen

Seventh Grade Although the seventh graders are only in their first year of junior high school they are taking part in the school activities and establishing some new societies. The seventh grade boys, combined with the eighth grade have organized a “Boys’ Town”, under the leadership of Mr. Wayne Murphy. Due to diffi- culties of arrangement in their classes this club will not be active until next year. One seventh grade group has a Current Events Club which has a discussion period each week. The girls are members of the Sunbeam organization and will be initiated into the Junior Sunshine Society in May. The Airplane Club is the outstanding boys’ club. These boys meet once a month in the school gym- nasium to judge the planes the boys make. Fourteen

Ninth Grade These students, after eight years of preliminaries in grade school and junior high, have now about completed their freshman year. They already are anticipating the fun and excitement of becoming sophomores. A National Junior Honor Society chapter has been organized at Warren this year for the fresh- men and sopohmore students. The freshmen in this society are: Earl Click, Margaret Ann Eash, Inez Eickhoff, William Elrod, Don Gleason, David Hay- wood, James Manis, Marilyn Masterson, Adeline Roy, Gaylle Rumford, Dawn Steele, Wilma Stites, and Bill Thompson. Membership is based on leadership, scholarship, service, and character. Freshmen girls belong to the Sunshine Society. This year the girls installed chapters at two other schools. A large delegation from Warren attended both the District Sunshine Convention at Greensburg, and the State Convention at Tipton. The Sunshine Society girls aided the Warrenettes in the distribution of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. The freshmen boys are active in athletics, having their own teams in basketball, track, and football. We must conclude that these freshmen have been busy people. Sixteen
