*The Life of an 8th Grader*

Day after day, eighth graders walk through the E Goodrich halls, whether they are going to art or math class. They spend their last middle school year with P. their close friends and classmates.

So what do they do all that time? They fool around, try to stay focu sed in class, trying to avoid drama, making the best of thejr last middle school moments here as good as possible. The students might say they won' t miss Goodrich, but deep down we know they truly will. Even though we thought we grew so much, this is only the start of a new beginning.

They're not on the ground, and they're not high in the sky. They're somewhere in the middle.

They're the seventh graders. And although they're not the oldest or youngest, they 're still part of our school. Seventh Graders, set your goals high, because sky' s the limit.

Cross Country This was a great year for cross country. There was many changes such as a new coach, new runners, new skills, and new friends. Everyone on the team placed differently and some people even lost weight! Emily Knaub, an 8th grade runner said, "The best part about taking part in cross country is being able to cream the other teams." Melissa Nguyen said that she met new 7th grade friends and told us, "They' re really cool I guess. We had so much fun!" The 7th graders said that their favorite part was running, having fun, and hanging out with friends. This year was the last year for 8th graders and they hope that the 7th graders will take over for them next year to teach the new people how it's done. The 8th graders may continue to participate in cross country in high school, but they will always remember their middle school experience. On the last day of practice Rachael Benedict said, "I can' t believe cross country is over! I wish it could last forever!" Don't give up cross country, kee on going!

Mrs. Spearman smiles at the camera after a grueling practice!

7th Grade Volleyball Step number one? Spirit. Step number two? Teamwork.

Step number three? Practice. You need to be prepared for failure AND victory. The 7th grade volleyball teams this year had many up and downs. Even though they were new at playing volleyball at Goodrich, they played volleyball like they've been doing it for a lonr time. Many of them liked the coaches. Some said that they learned many new skills from them and will continue to practice.

C team volleyball player, Betsy Oslen rated her team a 9 on the scale of 1 - 10. (10 is the best.) She rated them a 9, "because we didn't win some games." This year's 7th grade volleyball teams were great Good job!

Flag Football Flag football is a very popular sport here at Goodrich this year.

This sport got the ladies involved like Paige Skillett who said, "My favorite part is playing and going for the victory!" On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest of course) she gave her team a 9 1/2. Wi 1 Chamberlin, a fellow player said his favorite part was, "The fact tha it takes teamwork and when we' re all doing well, we're happy." He gives his team an 8 on the 1-10 scale when he was asked to rank his team. They won 1 game, loss 1, tied 1, and the last game was cancelled. Mr. Saunders said that he enjoys coaching the team and gave them a 9 on the 1-10 scale, "A lot of heart, a lot of effort." Thi ; year's 8th graders taught the 7th graders many thing about flag football. From throwing to passing to kicking. Next year, the eightl graders will not be here, but some 7th graders are surely to lead the next year's teams to victory. Here's to keeping the Goodrich tradition!

"Because we work together." was Tyree's response And Logan said, "It's fun to play with them." The coaches gave the team an 8, "We haven't had as many problems as last year like recoveries.'

Coach Young proudly said, "They ' re confident and talented." Coach Bender said that the team lacked intensity at times. It looks like next year, you guys need to have more intensity to be better. If you join basketball in high school, good luck! GO GO GO! By: Emily Knaub and Melissa Nguyen

So you' re probably thinking that this is just another publication page and another publication class, but it's a really important part of Goodrich Middle School. This class has learned how to be creative, use time wisely, and respect each others diverse ideas. Our 8th grade class came together and created an outstanding overall outlook of the 2007-2008 school year. We are looking forward to seeing what the other upcoming years can create when we are gone!

Friends until the end ...

Friends are crucial at Goodrich. Every day we hang in groups of just a person or two, maybe more.

Even if so, we all love our friends. This year, we had friends move and made new ones as the year ' passed by. At Goodrich, friends are the best! We get off task every once in a while, but in the end, it's ' all in good fun. Without friends life would be miserable and dreadful. Friends are there to make life more vibrant and to add the spice we are missing.

Friends make life colorful and flourish with laughter. Friends are the most important people we have in the outside world without the family. Friends are there when you need them most, and they keep you in check so you don't loose your sanity. By Emily Knaub, Sam Conley, Jaime Gibbs, and Amber Faller.

Our note cloud, made by us (Sam, Amber, Jaime, and Emily).

Friends until the end...

Siblings By Will Chamberlin, Cordell Hoskins, James McNair, Roman Thompson

Siblings, they're always there for you. The older one always gets the best gifts, the first choice, and the best stuff. They are there to help you up when you fall. They're at your side when you are sick. Even though they can get annoying and you might hate them sometimes, you know you'll always love them.

DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

The fall dance at Goodrich was held on Thursday October 11, 2007. Mostly every on was having fun dancing with their friends, eating pizza and drinking pop, or even happy jus to be able to come and dance. Some of the students may have thought that the dance was lame or boring, but it was actuall y pretty fun .

The DJ of the dance was funny. He would go around the stage playing with his plastic blown up guitar. The most popular song that he played that practically everyone liked was Crank Oat by Soulja Boy. Almsot everyone knew how to do the dance to it ... others j us danced however they liked to.

The price to get into the dance was one dollar...that's a good price for such a fun dance! Next year, hopefully more students go to the dances and the other events at Goodric They may seem stupid because your friends say that they are, but they are actually fun and amazmg.

There are many different genre's of music. From Rock to Rap, from R&B to Country. Every person likes their own kind of music for different reasons. People may like it because it could be fun to dance to, or it has an awsomebeat. In some cases it could be because of a person that looks good in the band.

The Future

By Cordell Hoskins, and Will Chamberlin Many people don't know what they want to do when they grow up. They might not have dreams now, but in a couple of years they will be full of ideas for their future. But some people are already dreaming. They have dreams of being a doctor, or a movie star, a fireman, or a pro athlete. All of us are different and will always be, but for now, we're just kids.

Up In The Clouds!!

Dana Magnson and Amber Rosekrans walking in the haJls duri ng lunch.

Another fantastic year at Goodrich has come to an end. We have this yearbook and the memories we hold close to remember it by. We' ll have new students come next year and the 8th graders going to high school. "I'll miss this school and the memories it holds! " says Emily Knaub an 8th grader here at Goodrich. Trends will come and go along with relationships. We'll laugh and cry and enjoy the good times that come. We' re all looking forward to high school, then onto college. No matter what, we'll always have the memories of Goodrich Middle School with us!
