A question which came up re
cently during one of our student
/ body meetings was whether or not;
the seventh and eighth grades]
should be considered part of the
student body and therefore al
lowed to attend high school par
ties and other activities. This mat
ter was hotly debated and there
were good arguments on both
sides. Finally, a vote was taken
and the majority were against al
lowing them in. It looks like the!
Seventh and eighth graders will!
mave to wait their turn for high
school activities.
We are quite pleased with the
way in which the Christmas Seal
Sale is progressing.
The student body voted that we
^vould donate ten dollars out of
*our treasury besides what is pur
chased by individual students.
