LINCOLN PUBLIC SCHO OLS, NEBRASKA
Lefler
9th erade has eood year
Life in Junior Hish was a fantastic journey! When we arrived in Oz. we were amazed bY its size and diversity in People. Travelins into eishth srade. we experienced many new challenses. and finally we made it to ninth arade.
The many disaPPointments made on the travel there were forsotten and our efforts were rewarded. Freshmen ParticiPated in Select Choir. Red Cross. and the many athletic activities. Ninth sraders were also represented in Stase Band. Student Council. and were on the Mascot staff.
Next. the ninth araders will enter the witches· castle--hish school. Of course. there will be Problems. and ones worse than flYins monkeys at that. But we will triumph in the end. It has been a wonderful triP. and we wish the best to next year·s ninth sraders.
