The main reasons for having the Junior Civic League in the school are, t o help u s perfo rm our civic duties in later life , to prepare u s for the bw:ine world a n d to help o r ganize th e activities of the school.
Th e s:x committees " ·h ich help make the Junior Civic League are the sa fety , cafeteria , propert y, good will, program , and playgrounds committees.
The dut y of the safety committe e is to "·atch the halls and keep our record of safety as near perfect as possible.
The cafeteria commi tt ee helps to supe rvise the lunch hour. Students are appointed to watch the lines and do ors. \V rappers are thrown away t o prevent the clutt ering up of the halls and school grounds. ·
Th e boys' property committee supen ises the lighting of the school building , while the girls have charge of the lost and found depar tmen ts where many lost articles are re stored to the owner.
The good will committee sends notes of appreciation t o speakers and en te rtainers of Ir ving a ~emblies an d shO\vs th e :ympa thy of the chool by se nding flowers to th e sick in the h osp it als.
The foundation of th e Jun ior Civic League is the efficiency ,vork which in reali t y shows the trust,rnrthiness and dependabili ty of many of the pupils of Irvin g. The fir s t semester , fourtee n pup ils rece ived the required credits ,Yhich enabled th em to be o n the efficien cy list. The seco nd seme ster ninety-three receiv ed the se credit s. The efficien cy \Y ork has been an inspi rat ion to all. - Jl 11na P etersen

W e entered Irving densely ignorant. However , we were no more ignoran t than the upp er-classmen because everyone wa s new , the building included. After traveling in altogeth er new surroundings for a few w eeks we ex perienced an event that we had not yet met in our history. We ,vere t o se l ec t cl ass officers , a task that seemed t o us extremel y difficult

\Vhy is the world what it is today? It is that si mple yet mighty word, progres ! From the earlie t pioneers to the hardy aviator s of t o day, progress ha ruled the world. Familits lurching bravely on, undisturbed by death - the early pioneers! Onward they marched, undaunted by hardships, until at last they reached their destination. lowly but urely they progressed.
But in no less way do we progres no w. Our marvelous inventions, di scoveries and ideals are unlimited. The world eem to be in the highest peak of progress. May the future bring higher peaks and ideals to oncoming gen eration !
This i the third anniversary of In·ing Junior High. Three cheers for one of the best schools in the country ! \Ve, the 9A 's, are the only class that have attended Ir vin 6 for three year During our time m a ny things occurred that gives Irving a d i s tinction, the formal opening being the mo t important The operetta was the first to be given at Irving, and with such success !
If you wish to read all about Irving from the beginning, read the librar y of Irving. This is the third book, and by our pens and printer's type, thi s book and the other two books ha ve been filled with sch ool life.
- Ca ro l Schmid t
As I look back over th e three years have spent at Irving, I recall what I thi nk is one of the e xcit ing events of the vea r. It is the sale of the Annuals that takes place just before they are published.
There are tw o te ams, each of cour se trying to outsell the oppo ing team with th e greatest numbe r sol d. \Vith the t o t als posted on the bulletin board in front of the office there is much exc itement in that ha ll.
Each si de has a different color, the first and second years the colors were oran ge and blue. The fir st ye ar the Orange wa victor, while the second year the Blue wa s ahead.
-Dorothy M eliganAs I look back over the three years spent in Irving, I recall so me of my pleasant memories.
I enjoye d the tournaments of ba eball and football immensely. I remember the weak struggles of some te ams and the har d struggles of others.
We had many g oo d assemblies, but I enjoyed Oz Black's car too ning the best I also enjoyed the basketball games.
There was alwa ys a high tensio n in the room when we were waiting to ee whet her we were accepted or rejected in ou r chosen club. \Ve had much fun in the se many clubs.
There wa s always a hard st ruggle between the ora nge and blue for the mo t sales of the Annuals. The orange won the first time an d the blue the next.
During th e latter part of Ma y w e ha d our first oper e tta, The Tea Hous e o/ Sing
-H ermine KleemanLo. The advanced orchestra and the choru accompanied the players.
As we struggle d up the steep incline of Senior High, we sometime s get di couraged; the colorful school days of Irving help us t o get to the top of the steep, hard struggle of Senior High.
-Gerald WestbrookSome of we seasoned veterans of the pioneer class of Irving find it a hard task to realize ju s t how rapidly things occur to a member of the 7B. \Vhen I entered Irving the dust had hardly settled from the commotion caused by the sport in locating rooms, when we were called to an asse mbly. What on earth wa an assembly? The an wer I chanced to receive upon this i n q uiry was the afterwards familiar phras e of • go to the dictionary. "
The next mystery et befo re t' to solve proved to be the Civic League Tr ip s. Some brainy amateur detecti ve drop p e d th e rumor that we went to a free how i n the morning. But our heartbeats dropped in nu mber like in a s tock market era h when the following announce ment fell like a curta in shut ting off our hopes and expectations. " After a general meeting in some theater you will separate into groups and visit various industrial and business center s." Later we found out that we would ha v e the pleasure of making reports on our trip s Clubs, school leadership, class leadership and preparation fo r special events as the beautiful Chri s tm as and Thanksgiving assemblies gave opportun ity to man y All had a chance to s hine on opening night and other s became fa mo us in the operetta. Many indivi dual experiences, and faces, remai n as me mories of our colorful chool life.
As we adva nced, more and more resp onsibili tie were added to make chool life more complicated. The calm sailing of the gr ade sc hools changed to a storm which buffeted us about when we met with harder subjec ts such as Algebra and Latin. But after all on ly a few were lost in the tempest and the majority have been promoted to a higher level of learning. Since we have conquered Junior, we sh ould be able to capture, hold, and conque r t he eminence of high school.
