, 1 Eighth Grade vs- by XVINILRI D XVYLSON Anything you want to know about our high school? Just ask us eighth graders. After two years we know practically everything there is to learn about rules and customs around here. We have had active parts in sports clubs, and we have discovered hidden talent through our dra- matic club, and presented plays even the seniors enjoyed. And we shall never forget our party. It was exclusively an eighth grade affair, and We elected our own king and queen, Gail Goodrum and Dorothy Hyndman, who were crowned after a royal procession. With a year of pleasure and many wonderful memories behind us, we are looking forward to next year when we will be invited to senior high parties. With a class like ours, we are sure that it will be one of the most successful that Welling- ton High has ever seen. Just you wait and see. We seventh graders have had a whole year here now and we pretty well know our Way around. It is true, of course, that the halls looked mighty long and room numb-ers were really con- fusing the first day we came to school. Football and basketball took on a new meaning for Us be- cause we began rooting for our team. If you don't believe us, you should attend our pep assemblies and hear us make those walls ring. We soon learned about those subjects the sen- iors were taking too, and we a1'e now looking for- ward to the time when we will get to do as they are now. We studied some this year, passed most of our tests tried to run down the halls, in fact we did everything seventh graders are supposed to do. Best of all we learned to sing Alma Mater, and feel proud of our school because we are full-fledged and loyal Crusaders. Seventh Grade fl- at H F .

Several bowling teams with senior high girls and Miss Foster formed a league and offered much competition for each other. The junior high dra- matic club presented a play for assembly as they learned the fundamentals of dramatics. Jxl. lf get ' - I- ' f A if Freshmen iz
