THE CHIPMUNK Page Twenty-Three SEVENTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE RECORD On September seventeenth, seventy new students entered the Westwood High School. Although we were large in number we felt very small in comparison with the dignified and mighty seniors. After a few excited and confused days we learned the rules and regulations of the school, and since then we have taken an active part in school affairs. On October twelfth Miss Hart’s History Class gave a Columbus Day Program for the Student Body. On Hallowe’en the eighth grade enjoyed a party given by the seventh grade students. The seventh grade is interested in dramatics and the club plans to present a play for Open House. We are very proud of our basketball teams. They fought two games with Susanville winning both games, and when our “E” team played the eighth grade it was another victory for us. Our school spirit is shown by the large number turning out at the games, and when the school yell leader is not present we furnish two worthy substitutes, Bill Barry and Walter Sharon. Our class officers are:: President ............................................. Earl Felion Secretary .............................................. Bill Barry Yell Leader ........................Bill Barry, and Walter Sharon Song Leader ............................................ Helen Cyr By Alice Burger

Page Twenty-Two THE CHIPMUNK EIGHTH GRADE EIGHTH GRADE RECORD The eighth grade have many worthy deeds to their credit. Al- though the first part of the term was rather uneventful, athletic season opened and the class of ’33 stepped forward. Both the girls’ and boys’ teams entered the interclass basketball contest, but the real victory came with the interclass track meet, when the eighth grade captured the honors and were presented a cup. The spirit of the class has been shown in the way they attended the school games and supported the yell leaders. At one of the basket- ball games, the class of ’33 under the supervision of Mr. Drewes sold hot dogs and collected eleven dollars and seventy-five cents. This was presented to the Student Body to help buy curtains for the assembly hall. Just before the Christmas vacation the eighth grade gave a return party to the seventh grade, who enjoyed dancing, games, and refresh- ments. Although the class of ’33 have not been leaders in scholarship they have won the school banner once. Alfred Cook

Page Twenty-Four THE CHIPMUNK OPPORTUNITY This I behold, or dreamed it in a dream: There spread a cloud of dust along a plain; And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince’s banner Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes. A craven hung along the battle’s edge, And thought, “Had I a sword of keener steel— That blue blade that the king’s son bears— but this Blunt thing—’’ He snapped and flung it from his hand And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king’s son, wounded, sore bestead, And weaponless, and saw the broken sword, Hilt-buried in the dry trodden sand, And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shout Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down, And saved a great cause that herioc day!
