The Eighth Grade HIS year we have a small grade of only nineteen, ten of whom have been together since they started school in 1923. We have tried to make up for our size by taking an active part in all of the school activities. In September we chose our officers for the year: President ---- i - - Helen Ahlstedt Vire President - - - ---- james Collier Secretary and Treasurer - - - - Maxon Esterdahl Student Council Repre.ve111a1iz'e.v - - june Peterson and Charles Laitsch During 1930-'51 our grade has been well represented in the Whitehall High School Band by two clarinet players, Clarence Mickelson and Merle Ackerman, two saxophone plavers, Charles Laitsch and james Collier, a trumpet, a drum, a baritone, and a mellophone played by Tony Havlik, Maxon Esterdahl, june Peterson, and Barbara Stierle, respectively. ln the junior Band we had john Fechner and john Keen. When the grade was called upon late in the second term to give a program before the High School, these band members formed an orchestra which presented a musical program. By selling candy at basketball games we were able to have several class parties, at Christ- mas time, on Valentine's day, and another later on in the year. We were forced to abandon our plans for a sleigh ride party because of the lack of snow. We have been as active in athletics as can be expected of a class of our size. The girls in our basketball team chose Mariam Marquardt for their captain. In the school tournament we lost to the seventh grade girls. There was no boys' basketball team due to the fact that there were not enough boys in our grade to make a full team. However, the boys turned out a strong baseball team which brought several victories to the Eighth Grade. Although we are few, we have managed to establish records in scholarship, athletics, and other activities which we hope to equal during our four vears in high school. Page Twenly-tbree
