The Ship's Log September 28, 1942—Dear Diary: Well, school has started. Of course we missed the seniors that aren't here. Honesty, diary, the Rooks were a scream to watch; they were all in a tizzy about school opening. October 2, 1942—Diary dear: Tonight was our first and only Student body dance, and I'm sure everyone had just a honey of a time. November 6, 1942—Gee, you should of seen the Periscope s Sadie Hawkins dance, it was really a kick including Sue Hamilton, as Sadie herself, Bob Johnson and Curtis Lamb who were all really genuine dog-patchers. November II, 1942—Diary: Today is probably the saddest day of the whole year according to Dallas High. We played and lost our last game of football to Indep. after a really wonderful season. Jim Smith was the outstanding member not to exclude the rest of the team. Oh, woe unto us ! ! ! November 19, 1942—Dearest Diary: We finally put on the Variety Program, Kampus Kapers, given by the Student Body. It was really a super hit of everything. The main hit of the show was the ballet dance given by the members of the football team. I bet they could have made Broadway. November 26, 1942—Diary dear: Everyone had a two-day vacation and believe me we all stuffed ourselves with turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuff. Boy!! It makes me hungry to think of it now. December 4, 1942—Diary: We all danced to Bob Dunn's record player at a simply dilly of a dance the seniors gave tonight. December 7, 1942—Diary: Everyone was greatly impressed today by the speech given us by Rudolph Haybrooke from England. Also today is the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Gee, if that doesn't make you stop to think, I don’t know what would. December 23, 1942—Hurrah, Christmas Holidays!! I know everyone had a wonderful time. Santa gets better every year. 29

Periscope Staff No doubt you've noticed some person at various times during the year tearing down the halls, bumping into everyone with cheerful disregard for life or limb and upsetting everything in the process—like some frantic hound tracking down a criminal. If so, you knew better than to disturb him, for it was a member of the Periscope staff trying to beat the deadline. Such a burst of activity occurred every three weeks, when the Periscope was scheduled for publication. Throughout all the hectic confusion, the printers moved, wearing a smug look and an ink blot on their noses. But it wasn't all work and no play. The Periscope presented a Sadie Hawkins Day dance, which was, as one person expressed it: Really fun— only nobody caught anything. Victims of Spring Fever found a welcome relief from its devastating effects when the Spring Fever dance, sponsored by the Periscope, was presented in April. But the biggest and most successful accomplishment of the year was the publication of the annual, the U. S. S. Periscope, which was compiled by the Periscope staff with the aid of amateur photographers. Now meet the staff: Editor ..................................................Ruth Van Orsdel (Ruth did an exceptionally fine job this year; did enough work for two editors in fact. Thanks, Ruth.)

January 13. 1943—We finally are getting to feel that we are doing our part in the war effort as we had our first Victory Corps assembly. January 21. 1943—Guess what, diary! An unexpected holiday caused by heavy snowfall! Gee, did everyone have fun, especially hooking up toboggans behind Al Inglis and Bob Dunn's little green and red cars. Many spills were enjoyed by all. February 19. 1943—Dear Diary: Today the Pep Staff and the Let-termen's Club canvass the town for tin cans. Hard work, a glorious feeling plus a flat tire on Mr. Gabbert's trailer made it a well spent day. February 26, 1943—Dearest Diary: We were saved from the horror of defeat by Indep. by the wonderful playing of our first five of the basketball team. After the game the Indep. kids stayed and got hep with the jive at the dance the Pep Staff and Lettermen’s Club gave. April 2, 1943—Oh boy, Diary!! Gosh, did the Juniors give a swell Fun Night. Relays, games, everything imaginable were played. You should have seen Curt Lamb hanging a silk slip on the clothes line. April 30, 1943—Diary dear: Tonight was the Junior and Senior Play, Pickles Becomes a Lady. Beverly Bennett was the star and was she a scream! May 23. 1943—Dearest Diary: Tonight was Baccalaureate.

May 28, 1943—Three cheers—school is out. Boy, what a vacation we're going to have! 30
