tintinnabulationj sound movies will be shown, on rare occasions, it is feared. S-o home and to bed. September 27, 1929 May june Didst hie myself to the first football game this day fversus Carnegiej and there didst sit in the rain and berate myself for a miserable idiot. Then home neither knowing nor caring who won. After dinner my usual good humor being restored I di-dst call up Coach Irvin to discover the victor, but he, wise man, had stayed home and was as ignorant of the matter as I. Didst sit by the fire a while and muse on the follies and foibles of man. And so to bed. 14, 1930 Hath heard that ye Student Council prepareth a handbook for young and bewildered students. It is to be commended for this philanthropic deed, although I greatly fear that it sadly decreases the number of gullible fresh- ies to be sent to the fifth floor, and the first floor annex by way of the boiler room. Ah me, I groweth old. 20, 1930 Awoke this morning rather sad, this being the date of the first graduating class of 45, myself being a member by rights of it but being misunderstood by my teacher I am number 46, and therefore am to receive no sheepskin. Had not told my parents previously, and after breakfast didst disclose the matter to them. Whereupon ensued most miserable half hour. I was most glad to escape on the plea of being needed at schule, whereupon my father didst wax sarcastic. Worried no little at first, but soon regained my sunny good nature on remembering that a pretty redhead who has attracted me is still in schule also. And there is usually some solace to be found if one looks for it. Didst attend a graduation party and afterwards to a friend's house for the night, not wishing to face my parents just at present. January 30, 1931 Up betimes, and didst hie myself to town, there to enjoy the new revue. Didst round a' corner suddenly and upset Mr. Trimble, the architect who designed the new annex, and falling into conversation with him, learne-d that William and Hass, contractors hath completed that n-oble work this very day. S0 didst hasten to schule, there to petition for a room in the annex. The silence Ccomparativej of the building was music to mine ears after the infernal hammering and drilling that hath besieged me for the last few months. Was summarily refused a new room, and indeed, nearly deprived of my old one for not reporting to schule f-or fifteen days. CVVhich I did use t-o recover from a math testj 71

of one of our neighbors that I could not sleep, for an hour or two, I slept late, and so was tardy for schule. Didst receive most hearty reprimand from my teacher for my laziness, which I did ignore most successfully. The first honor roll being published today, I did search long for my name on it, and rather to my expectations, did not find it. Home and the recipient of a lecture as to a boy of my talents not making the honor roll being dis- graceful. october 19, 1927 Although much wearied from schule this day, Qbeing awakened by a fire- drill fifth period, and 'being unable to return to sleep again, remained in that miserable state the last two periods contrary to muy usual customj. I did sally forth to the opening of night school with some misgivings. Disgraced myself by openly fand audiblyj sleeping during the dedication speech, but ev-en through my weary haze, didst perceive that faculty and curriculum show great promise of turning out graduates of a superior type. February 10, 1928 Exceedingly happy today in that I have now entered my first day of Senior high schule, indeed this is the first day of senior schule yet. I took great joy in looking down the side of my nose at the lowly seventh and eighth graders and making scornful remarks on their small stature, having just discovered Cand rejoicing in the faotj that I a'm all of .five feet six inches in height. Soon I am a man. Hath been observing a girl in my algebra class now that I am grown up, and wishing for the nerve to smile at her, but after making two or three sickly attempts followed by painful blushing didst cease and leave the maid in peace. After that in pleasant discourse with a friend who had observed my embarrassment and so home to sup and after that to bed. March 15, 1928 May Up betimes, and, after much debate, the day being a 'lamb' day, ventured to show my face in school, where I learned that we hath purchased a plot of ground for our athletes to frolic upon. Didst in a burst -of enthusiasm for mental aberrationj decide to join the band of Olympians, but a frantic search disclosing no hirsute growth on my hope ch-est QI hath hopes it is a chestj I didst retire as gracefully as possible, and so to bed. 17, 1929 This morn didst learn that a new sound system is in the process of instal- lation in ye auditorium, where amubitious young actors will henceforth cause the bones of Thespis to rattle dismally, and Ccausing still more dismal 70

February 17, 1933 This day when I didst attempt to push my pie in a tablemate's face at lunch, I was gently and firmly refrained, and informed henceforth and f-orevermore there shall be a monitor at the head of each table to preside benignly over fellow students, and to restrain them from pie hurling, knife throwing, and sundry other deeds frowned on by etiquette books. Didst retire into a fit of sulks at this sad news, and was not able to smile again that day, except seventh period when Coach Irwin didst fall in the swimming pool. March 13, 1933 Upon arrival at ye old institution this morn didst learn of still another im- provement in the lunch room. Ye B. of Ed. has had lunch ticket machines put in to take the place of the old metal checks. Alas, 'tis sad. No longer can I impress the girls with my wealth by clinking a pocketful of lunch checks and keys together. So home and to bed, where I lay pondering, f'What is to become of me? December 14, 1934 , I Up betimes and fell to whistling in the shower for at long last the red head in my report room hath shown some signs that the sight of me is no longer more than mildly disagreeable to her. I shall attempt -to persuade her to go out with me, when my worthy father hath restored me to his favor. Upon arrival at schule didst learn that the august seniors have deci-ded for future generations Qthat may not be so wise as theyj that from now on sweet girl graduates and strong boy graduates shall clothe themselves in mortanboards and gowns at Commencement. September 12, 1935 Up betimes and so to schule, where I am rapidly becoming a fixture having seen two graduating classes go past me. Much enjoying myself as I have taken all the courses the schule offers and am repeating them now, which I do with facility. Held much in awe by ninth graders who do approach me with their pennies and beg the privilege of exchanging them for the privilege of a handshake with me to bring them luck. I was twenty-two today, and laughingly recalled that on entering senior high schule didst think myself very much of a man. Didst go for a spin in my little roadster after schule, and so home to bed, my favorite spot. May 7, 1937 M-ost happy day. Called down to the office this morning, and upon enter- ing in some fear and trembling was informed that for my ten years of faithful service and loyalty I am to be given the 30 credits necessary for me to graduate, and let out of schule this June, also there were hints of a pension, if the schule board agrees to it. Didst hie myself to the neigh- borhood confectionery and celebrate m-ost fittin-gly on 7 milkshakes, 11 ice cream cones and 9 ice cream sodas. And so home, and to bed. 72 .-
