BABES OF JUNIOR HIGH Even if we are the babes of W.H.S., we certain- ly don't always approve of the treatment given us for we feel quite grown-upg in fact, some of us are in our teens now for the first time. We seventh graders have come through many new experiences this past year but there are a few who get homesick for grade school. Just think! Every hour in a different room and three minutes for exer- cise before the next class. During the first week most of us went through the terrible embarrassment of getting into the wrong classes or going into the even class on the odd Friday. We eighth graders are the cocks of the walk now that this is our second year in junior high. We even know our way around on second and third floors and recognize many of the senior high students and teachers when we see them. We have been exposed to a lot of new subjects, we even saunter through the halls as slowly as anyone, without worrying about getting to class too early. We never think of running as the seventh graders do, and incidentally, we get to move downstairs for assemblies next year. Although we're just beginners, we have interests in football, basketball, band, and orchestra, and we're proud to be a part of Wellington High.

1. If you look closely you will find that there are a few girls in the freshman class. It's not entirely because we boys are answering the call to the colors and have rushed to the front to protect the girls, al- though that may have something to do with it. This is definitely a boys, class, because we far outnumber the girls. g - ,, We freshmen are just an in-between groupg there isn't really anything wecan say about ourselves ex- cept that this is the year we begin to count majors, minors and credits. On December 7 we were seized with a patriotic fervor and resolved to leave home and our friends to shoulder arms against the enemy, however, we soon calmed down to sacrificing the daily coke to buy defense stamps. On February 9 we initiated War Time by coming to school in the dark to save elec- tricity. Being in junior high we do not have class offic- ers, but do have our homeroom organizations. Here are our presidents: Colleen Newkirk, Sidney Shields, Robert Howard, Victor Allison, and the Junior Fed- eration president, Richard Arnspiger.
