Diary of Class of 39 (Continued) May 28th—Now that the seniors have been graduated everybody else is saying good-bye. 1 guess that's a hint for the rest of us to leave, so farewell. Let them put the schools in moth balls until next fall, with my consent. • • Sept. 7, 193 7—Well, we dusted off the school for another year, our busiest year, our Junior year! I wonder if the freshmen are looking up to us as I looked up to the juniors when I was a freshman? Sept. 8th—Maybe National elections are only once every four years, but we students have them every year! This time we elected Allen Kahn, president; Nell Frazier, vice-president; and David Duncan, secretary-treasurer. Oct. 4th—Did you know money grows on trees, especially Birch trees? Well, we found $90 after the smoke and the magician disappeared. So much more toward our Junior Prom! Oct. 16th—It’s a good thing I’m writing to you. Diary, rather than talking to you for I'm so hoarse after that Booster Day parade and bonfire. We painted the town maroon and white (with crepe paper) but after the Punxs’y game—well—why bring that up? Nov. 19th—Tonight I found out that “Life Begins At Sixteen'’ as I watched my classmates in the annual Junior class play. They seemed to have so much fun doing it—by the way. it was very well done. Dec. 12th—We students all wished the town-people a Merry Christmas by presenting for them an afternoon of appropriate music. I wonder how the quartet learned that German? Ach! Mar. 4th—There goes the doorbell. I can’t write more because I’m rushing to the Du-Bois game and our Junior dance afterwards. Wish me luck! Mar. 24th—“Martha! Martha!” We adored it! It's so much fun when so many students can sing together with so much enjoyment and appreciation. Apr. 6th—After three years in high school the teachers should know our minds without those terrible I. Q. tests. May 1 1 th—The newly elected members of the National Honor Society were the guinea pigs today when the orchestra literally practiced (in assembly) the graduation march. Friday, May 13th—Dearest Diary, words fail me! The circus came to town tonight in full swing, at both the banquet and prom. They say there was an eclipse on the moon tonight. But how should I know? ? ? June 2nd—Just think! One more year and we will be tripping up those steps, on our last mile, with lumps in our throats, to receive our diplomas. • • Sept. 7. 1938—The beginning of the end! Is it possible that this will be my last year at B. H. S.? I want to be graduated of course— and yet (believe it or not) I don’t. Sept. 16th—We dignified (?) seniors hired (without pay) for the next nine months Earle Thompson as president. Allen Kahn as vice-president and Duane Stewart as secretary-treasurer. Oct. 28th—The chorus sang at Institute today. Period—’Nuf said. Nov. 14th—I’ve been working all day and night on my semi-annual masterpiece (essay to you). The only thing I don’t regret in leaving is that I won’t have to write any more essays like these! Jan. 15th—It was fun to watch the girls limp around today, but it serves them right. Congratulations. Miss Mitchell! Jan. 27th—Four years ago I vowed never to stay up until 3 A. M. again to study. Well, last night I stayed up until 6:00 A. M.. then went to school and took an exam. March 2nd—Several sailors and “Sailor Maids’’ told us all about their experiences at sea. Variety is the spice of life and this was all-spice. Mar. 17th—Oh—Diary! Today is the deadline for yearbook material. More late hours. Apr. 21st—“You Can’t Take It With You” but we did with the best audience since 'way back in '31 (thanks to Miss Bentley). May 12th—I’ve waited since Christmas for the Prom and Banquet, and what fun it’s going to be! June 8th—Diploma! It’s a thing you work four years to get—and then, somehow, though you’re mighty proud of it. you wish you could start all over again to earn it— The last leaf of my Dear Diary! CLASS OF '39
