Up A Step Well, here we are again, running rampant through the halls. Everyone else knows that we aren't any older or wiser than we were last year, but they can't convince us! We had a gay time at the first of the year, feeling and acting so superior towards the seventh'g1'adersg but when it came time for semesteifglexams, some of us were begin- ning to woisider if we would always be a grade ahead-of the folksgwe now consider our inferiors. - , We were busy this year with activities. The boys went to Hi-Y and basketball home- room and the girls liked the Sports Club and Blue Triangle. Dramatics Club showed that we had some talent for acting. s U Some of us were taking a foreign langu- age course and youi should have heard us R it-'. g . -, It -1 murdering the languages of the French, Spanish, and German people. Then, of course we learned that the first president was George Washington instead of Franklin D. Roosevelt, but our teacher had a dreadful time to convince us that a noun isn't a word of action. In physical education we learned how to stay healthy by practically killing ourselves doing exercises. Having the more scholastic side of our education well in hand, we concentrated our efforts on the domestic side of things, as at the beginning of our eighth year of educa- tion, we knew very little of the so-called do- mestic activitiesf' The boys were taught such' things as repair work and drafting in shop while the girls were struggling in foods, elbow deep in dough or stuck up in candy making. Whether or not we have learned much this year is yet to be seen, but in spite of the trials, we have had a lot of fun. We are all looking forward to next year when we hope to be the freshmen. .11 7.1

Through the years, we have gathered other members and now we are the largest class in school-165 members. Now as experienced students we can tell what X equals, thanks to Mr. Devore, and are acquainted with Ivanhoe and the Lady of the Lake. This was the first year we were given the privilege of attending ia senior high party. Because we have so much excess energy, We were employed to clean up after the party. J. A. Seaton was elected to head Junior Hi Federation, while Clarence Cain was pre- sident of Junior Hi-Y and Glenda Jean Pilant was president of Blue Triangle. The junior high scientists in Mrs. Oyer's class proved that they could create as baffl- ing odors as the chemistry class. In the spring, the Lions Club presented awards to the twelve most outstanding ninth graders. Our freshman party was a howling suc- cess with even a few freshman wolves on the loose. The Junior Hi basketball team, which was composed mainly of freshmen, though not the Ark Valley champions, won a large percentage of their games and gained exper- ience that will help them when they are the Valley Champions two years from now! We were the first class to be required to take health under the new state law, and, now after two semesters, we can tell the dif- ference between the cranium and the fibula. In case these words sound distant we have also mastered Latin and Spanish. Now as we finish our third year with red flags flying Con our report cardl, we are looking forward to our first year in senior high as sophomores but we will never forget our joyous freshman year. ...151

N, 5-fre 'iq 1, We're CYUSHCICYS, Too Small but mighty we invaded the halls of Wellington High School for the first time last fall. We had looked forward to being here, and we found it was as wonderful as we had expected. We were assigned lockers and learned to work combinations-after much earnest practice. There were a lot of upperclassrnen who seemed to know all about the building, but to us it was just a maze of halls and rooms. The numbers on the different classrooms seemed to be always getting mixed up and causing us an awful lot of trouble. In no time at all we became full fledged Crusaders and began to take pride in the record of our football and basketball teams. We even became an important part of the cheering section. b We joined various clubs and began to take an active part in every phase of school life. It seemed as though time flew and we were always rushing from one class to an- other, though the upperclassmen apparently could not understand our need for running. Now, we have completed one year in high school, and we are quite capable of taking on the responsibilities and duties of the eighth grade. And if you want to know about a really super class 'just ask us! ..1g..
