Teenage Scrapbook Images 1952-53 8th Grade-Part 5

 

Teenage Scrapbook Images 1952-53 

8th Grade-Part 5



The cover of the booklet we each got for our 8th grade graduation


There was a page with the Class Motto, Flower, Colors, and Class Officers - very much like my Dad’s eighth grade program 28 years earlier…


The Class Roll.        [Click on image to get a larger image.]

 

The program from graduation, slightly abbreviated, came next . It lists who read which thing at the time.


After Larry did the Welcome, it appears I read the Class History next, after the snare drum solo by Jon. This is my copy showing where we found errors in the mimeographed sheets, so that I could read it correctly. The one in the Booklet was uncorrected... ;-)



After the Girl’s Sextet sang, Larry read the Class Will, followed by the Boy’s Chorus.



Doug read the Class Prophecy…





There was a page, a handwritten poem, of “our song” sung to the tune of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”




Signatures in upper left of first sheet are teachers...
The last two pages had all of our signatures, and notes from a few! ;-)

See you down the road...  ;-)

I can practically smell the mimeographed paper... that's something you don't smell very often any more!

I understand and agree. It is very special. Brings back many memories!! ;-)
