CLASS  HISTORY



                      When  we  entered  seventh grade  we  were  like  specta­


                 tors  at  the  circus.  It  took us  the biggest  part  of  the

                 nine  months  to  get  use  to  the  school  and  older  stu­

                 dents.         With workmen adding a  new part  it  didn't  help


                 us  any.        Being  on half  sessions,  we  started  school  at

                 8  o'clock A.M.  and  finished  at  12:30  P.M.                       As  we  left

                  school  we brushed past  the  incoming  eighth graders.  We


                 were  a  little unhappy about  one  of  the  activities  we

                 didn't  have  in  the  circus,  that  being  clubs.

                       In  eighth  grade  we  were  on  our way to  becoming a


                  full  fledge  circus;  we  only had  one  ring,  but  it meant

                  the  world  to  us.  Having  something more  than  just  being

                  a  spectator  really gave  us  encouragement.                          Having  one


                  ring  in  a  circus  required  a  lot  of people  so  we had  to

                  hire more personnel.                The male  attraction,  in the  eyes

                  of  the  girls,  we  later  found  out  was  a  mathematics

                  teacher who  was  interested  in the  Cleveland  Indians.


                  His  pleasing personality won us  over,  in a  big way,  and

                  he  has  been our  class  advisor  since  eighth grade.  In

                  eighth grade  we had  clubs  and  our  class  activity was  a


                  doggie  roast  in back of the  school.                      Games  were  enjoy­

                  ed  by one  and  all  that  attended.

                       Upon  starting  our ninth year,                   just  think only  four

                  more  to  go,  we  found  another ring had been added,  giv­


                  ing us  two,  Vou  see,  we  elected  class  officers,  some-
