MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY FRESHMAN Sept. 24, 1917.—Went to school this morning and was bewildered by so many pupils. After standing around a while, a bell rang somewhere and we all assembled in the auditorium. Saw more people than ever. A little short, fat man, the superintendent, talked and we sang “America. Then a tall, skinny man, who is to be the principal, talked to us. When we passed down a good looking young man, who told us his name was Conlee, took us to our room. Again a bell rang and we went home. Sept. 30.—Everything going nicely. Not afraid of Mrs. Davis' glasses any more. She teaches some funny stuff called algebra. Found out a secret—Mr. Conlee likes the English teacher, but I don’t blame him. Jan. 2.—Surely did hate to come back after Christmas. Have to learn everything over again. April 19.—Class went on a picnic to Park Place. Drank lots of red soda water and had a fine time. May 20.—Last day of school. Passed all right. Awfully glad to get out but hated to leave every- body. But hope to see them all next year. SOPHOMORE Sept. 24, 1918.—Started back to school today. Saw lots of old schoolmates. Mr. Hanner, Mrs. Davis, Miss Benton, Mr. Johnston, Miss Tod, all back this year. Miss Smith, our registrar, is new, but I know we’ll like her. There are lots of new pupils, too. Dec. 20.—Nothing new happened till today. Had a large Christmas tree in the auditorium. Sure had lots of fun. We get two weeks for holiday. Jan. 2.—Back again after the holidays. Got to study hard from now on. April 30.—Had class party at auditorium last night. Nearly everybody there. Miss Smith chap- eroned us. Juniors came and turned off the lights aid tried to steal our ice cream. But we had more than we could eat, anyway. Had a wonderful time. April 12.—Finished fourteenth chapter of Caesar. Thank goodness. May 10.—Class went to Sylvan Beach on picnic. Had awfully good lunch. Went in bathing and got blistered, but had a fine time. May 24.—Last day of school. Passed again. Just think—will be a Junior next year. JUNIOR Sept. 20, 1919.—Started on Junior term today. Went to chapel and saw lots of old schoolmates. A good many new ones, too. Mr. Hanner and Mr. Johnston back again and gave their customary speeches. Saw five new faces among the faculty. Two were gpod looking young men but somebody said one of them was married. Mrs. Davis, Miss Ehrhardt, Miss Benton are back. Miss Benton is to be our regis- trar. Just two new pupils; all the rest old ones. Sept. 30.—New pupil came in today. Had our first proposition in Geometry. Not so bad, after all. Mrs. Jones has her Cicero class well started. Miss Boxley thinks her class will never make good Span- iards. Miss Holland has discovered that we don’t know much about our English ancestors. Oct. 18.—We won the banner today. Oct. 25.—Had official Geometry test—not very bad. Nov. 5.—Seniors hid the banner. We held a council of war and elected police force with Archie as chief to search for it. Nov. 6.—Everybody in the class wore big black bows on their left arms in mourning for the banner. Nov. 8.—Found banner last. Had another official test. English this time. Nov. 19.—Beat Humble in a football game today. All the Junior girls wore blue and gold Quaker caps with blue and gold streamers, and carried bells and horns. O, what a racket we made. Dec. 5.—Turned cold and we haven’t any radiators. All the class went out to Mr. Hanner’s office. Dec. 6.—Colder. Went to Mr. Wilson’s room. Dec. 7.—Still cold. Stayed in Chemistry room. Don’t know where we’ll go next. Dec. 12.—Agent for class pins came from New York, and we gave him an order. Dec. 20.—Got radiators fixed. Won’t get out of lessons any more by moving to warm rooms. Jan. 5.—Had two weeks’ vacation and forgot all we knew. Surely did hate to come back. Jan. 19.—Large crowd from school went to Houston to hear Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Miss Benton chaperoned us. Other teachers chaperoned their rooms. Was a great treat. Jan. 22.—Irene got the highest average in school. All the Juniors feel stuck up. Feb. 1.—Class dissatisfied with pin from New York. Cancelled the order and gave it to Sweeney. Feb. 20.—Nothing has happened. Same old line of hard studies. March 8.—Pins came today. Awfully pretty. March 9.—Everybody brought money for pins but Miss Benton forgot and left them at home. March 9.—Everybody got pins and we feel awfully important. March 12.—Miss Benton is the best teacher ever. Mrs. Davis has lots of patience to try to teach us Geometry. Miss Holland thinks we are a set of boneheads, but we’re going to show her that we can learn History because we’re Juniors now.
