The KALENDS June, 1936 M ay-Bill Humphries went out to Ithaca with the cast of The Tree which won second prize. Bill is a natural electrician. He must have been born with an electric light in his head. june-Oh, bitter age! Why must thou make me so weak? Or is it the after effects of spring fever? No, I have just returned from the Junior Prom. Everyone certainly felt Japanesy', under those lanterns which closely resembled Jacobfs coat of many colors. I think my fellowmen on the decorating committee should be congrat- ulated. Class Day--Yes, I did lead a wonderful, mature life today. I almost forgot something, tonight I saw Bill Humphries playing his tuba in the famous high school orchestra. By the way his cheeks were expanding I thought he was blow- ing up a fiat tire. 1935-36 September-In my long weary life how many strange new faces I have seen among the fac- ulty, more strange ones this year. The old order changeth giving place to new. October--How would the old school organiza- tions function without the solid representation from the body of my most worthy friends? Shades of Cicero! We will steer ourselves along under the firm, strong hand of the giant Wes- cott, Colgan, our silent partner, keep our fingers crossed while Dickson spends our money, and Isabelle Hinckley keeps tabs on all our doings. The music went round and round tonight for those who attended the first dance of the sea- son to welcome the new pupils and teachers. November-Will Xmas never come? December-My worthy friends of athletic powers helped to win the Soccer Championship banner and to represent the All-Star team. Xmas at last and now that I have lost my faith in Santa Claus, it ain't what it used to be. To quote a friend of mine, Woe is me. But there are compensations. Yesl Yes! April-Months and months of unfilled spaces in my diary. But I will cram into one sentence my recollection of these months. Plays, prize speaking contests, concerts, minstrel shows, dances, activity galore, and oh yes, study, study, study! May-I fear my aged friends are losing their gift of gabl' along with the freshness of youth. Ellen Gesell, however, has llost none of her youthful vigor. Well, dear people, my life's diary is nearly completed. What a life I've led! Oh, my rheumatism. I fain would write more but my strength is failing fast. Farewell, folks. My life's journey is done. PATIENT: Ah, those were the days, my old friends. So long. I'1l be seeing you. fHis friends gather about the bedside, shake their heads, fold his hands, and slowly fle out. 2 Shorthand Club A number of students have wondered just what the Shorthand Club is. The Shorthand Club is not new this year. It was revived after January examinations. This 'club consists of fifteen members from the Com- mercial Department with Miss Murphy as ad- visor. At the first meeting, the following officers were elected: President, Muriel McNaughton3 Secretary and Treasurer, Evelyn Reed. Our meetings combine both work and play. After the business meeting, games which involve shorthand outlines are played. Some of the members are now working for certificates given by the Gregg Shorthand Company for speed in shorthand. Besides our regular meetings, we have had a few social functions. We celebrated St. Pat- rick's Day with a party. Last month about ten of our members enjoyed a hot dog roast at the old reservoir. I hope this will give our friends an inside light as to what the Shorthand Club is. E201
