on the choo-choo. Incidently, jezie beat. They returned to school Monday morning fagged out, but with many new ideas. The twenty-eighth: The Yale Chronicles gave an account of the French and English wars in America. The thirtieth: Mr. I'Ielleloid's History VII classes dramatized the Constitutional Convention to- day. An action picture was taken for the Kodak. DECEMBER :The first: We rate an early dismissal. The teachers get together as a result, I wish they would 0 it often. The second: The junior Girls' Glee Club sponsored a Sunlite in the gymnasium. Ted Erickson and his Melodians were an example of hot rhythm. The tenth: I went to the frst basketball game of the season. Durand played Eau Claire and lost, I7-16. If you ask me, the Durand boys were a peppy bunch, and the Abes had to do some fast playing to win. The twelfth: The Girl Reserves practiced in the auditorium for their play The Toy Shop. That Mitclrell girl was always saying, Is this dramatic enough?,' Did we laugh? The thirteenth: The Stump touched upu after school on their Musical Revue to be given on the twentieth. A handful watched. The hardest is yet to come, however, and that is presenting the Song and Dance to the student body. The fourteenth: The French Club met at Miss Lyman's and we made doll clothes. There are ten girls in our Christmas family. ls it any wonder that we are taking an interest in dollies? The jifteenth: The eighth period was devoted to an assembly. Mr. Conley of Minneapolis spoke on The Problems of Youthfi The Girl Reserves gathered in 201 for their Christmas program. Margaret Kessler gave her im- pression of the Christmas story. The members also received the names of the little girls they will take to the Christmas Party, December 23rd. The sixteenth: A Christmas issue of the News was given to everyone.

The nineteenth: The Senior Girls' Glee Club, accompanied by Barbara Selmer, sang Christmas carols over WTAQ, the local broadcasting station. The Band gave a Pop Concert in the audi- torium at eight oiclock. The selections were played very well and enjoyed immensely by everyone. The twentieth: The Girl Reserves and the Stump presented a Christmas program which included Christmas Carols, a Christmas play, and a musical revue. The play, The Toy Shop, was a clever interpretation of the meaning of Christmas. In the evening the Stump sponsored their an- nual Santa Claus Gallop with music by Ted Erickson and his Melodians. Did you know that Santa beat up one little boy because of bad behaviour? There was a reasonl VACATION-HOORAY l l .' ' The twenty-third: The Girl Reserves entertained many little girls at a Big Sister party in the High School during the afternoon. Santa was present and passed out gifts to each guest. Lunch was jferved in the cafeteria. The Big Sisters were evidently famished by the way they rushed for ood. IANUARY The fourth: Nearly everyone returned yawning from the hilarious vacation days. The Seniors came back with smiling faces, with only three weeks to wander about the halls. I wonder if Bob Bing succeeded in removing the lipstick from his tie? He must have two ties exactly alike. Tsk! The sixth: The basketball team journeyed to La Crosse and won 22-18. The seventh: Still on the road, the team went to Arcadia and lost 20-22 in an overtime period. Tough luck. The ninth: Well, Here it is Monday and I still got a Doll. . . f' I mean a whole history con- tract to finish. Yale Chronicles were scheduled for today, but were postponed. The twelfth: Not a very big crowd went up to Chippewa to see the Hilldwellers romp around with a win of 30-24. The thirteenth: Friday the Thirteenth, black cats, broken mirrors, three on a match, spilled salt, and the junior-Senior Promenade at Fournier's Academy. The News came out with the prom leaders, Harold Bahlke, Prom King and 4-B Class President, and Catherine MacLeod, Prom Queen, William Rowe, Vice-Prom King and 3-A Class President, and janet Peterson, Vice-Prom

The twenty-second: Quite a few Eau Clairites drove to Menomonie and witnessed a win, 19-0, for their team. Did Catherine Murphy have a good time? Ask her. The twenty-seventh: If anyone saw some girls carrying brooms around after supper, they were not trying to pose as witches, they just happened to be French Club member lnewly acquiredj under-going an initiation. We went to Kingls for the evening and amused the old members by performing clever little antics related to all initiations. Dolores Strumls issue of the News came out today. It was very interesting. The twenty-eighth: Two big events took place today. School was dismissed at two-thirty and the majority of the students hurried to the Teachers' College held in time for the kick-off. Lady- smith played extremely hard, but Eau Claire headed out, I3-0. The Fine Arts threw a Depression Party in the gym. Many of the dancers came attired in old clothes. Football men proved very popular, in fact, a leap-year buttinski and a football buttinski were given in their honor. The music was good and the costumes were queer, or should I say queer. The thirty-first: The second Yale Chronicles were presented this morning second period. I got out of chemistry. I canit say whether I was glad or not. NOVEMBER X The fourth: The News was issued again. Happenings of the week were covered quite thorough- ly. Bill Brady has been chosen editor. The seventh: The band blared forth in an excellent assembly of Sousa's contributions to the mu- sical world. The selections were given in his memory. The eighth: A great day as the whole school cast a straw vote, and Hoover won by an overwhelm- ing majority. In the afternoon a representative of the fanesville School for the Blind gave an illustrated lecture on the work of the blind. Lester Loken, a graduate of the Janesville School, sang several songs, accompanied by Margaret Kessler. The ninth: The returns of the real election were quite happily received by Miss Blum and Mr. Pratt, the high school Democrats. A new organization, the Sophomore Girls, was organized. They held their meeting today. I under- stand that their purpose is to unite more closely their high school interests. The eleventh: Another big day in Eau Claire High Schoolis history was Armistice Day. The en- tire sudent body attended an impressive Armistice program in the auditorium instead of outside because of the intense cold. The fourth period dramatics class gave a scene from fourney's Endf' Professor Hillier spoke on the Armistice. The fue Arts staged a stunt and pep fest immediately following the program. Most important was the yell contest in which different organizatfons participated. First place was won by the Hi-Y, second place by the Band, and honorable mention was given the junior Girls' Glee Club. The Fine Arts, Stunt was a clever skit. The scene took place in a school room with a history class in session commemorating the great battle of Chippewa Fall vs. Eau Claire on November Ilth, 1932. That afternoon we resorted to sack cloth and ashes when Chippewa Falls won 6-3. The fourteenth: Miss King fell down in the hall with the help of a Freshie. Mr. Owen rushed up and sympathetically inquired, Did the student carry life insurance?,' Yale Chronicles were shown fourth period. The fifteenth: First call for basketball was sent around. The prospect for a strong team is good. The sixteenth: The Sophomore A's gave a shindig in the gym. Ted Erickson's Band played and proved very popular. The seventeenth: The Kodak receives the third consecutive All American Honor Rating. The twenty-second: The Girl Reserves presented a Musical Revue which was well received by lady teachers, Sophpmore A girls, and members of the club.

The twenty-third: Ponderous Prizes, Darby Decorations, Lyceum Turkey Trot printed on orange card board were prominently displayed during the Lyceum Political Convention, fourth Deriod in the auditorium, in which the Lyceumites reminded us that the Lyceum Turkey Trot was their grand jamboree. At the party that night William Panama,' Henry won the big Turkey plus feathers and gobble. The twenty-fourth: Thanksgiving Dayll I guess everyone ate too much. At any rate I did. I had growing pains for two days after the feast. janet Lange, Audrey Offerman, Doris Andrews, Alice Hartwell, Louis Blaser, Miss Newell, and Miss Trewyn attended the Wisconsin High School Edi- torls Conference at Madison. Jezebel, Miss Newell's famed Chevie, ran a race with Louis Blaser

Queen. They were followed by Ione Millard, 4-A Class President, and Ronald Hansen, and john Richardson, 3-B Class President, with Rosemary Ferguson. The programs for the Prom were in black and white with respect to Friday the Thirteenth. The decorations were up north with due sympathy to the Decoration Committee, who I heard, nearly froze to get the effect, but it was appreciated. Hats off!! Little june Dahl thought the Polar bear borrowed from the Gillette Tire Company looked like a guinea pig. At this point glasses might be suggested. At any rate it was a nice Prom. The Kodak blew itself on pictures of the great event, even a camera flash burst to pieces. The january Class Play leads were announced in this week's News also. Howard Smiley and Ieagine Smith will play the Senior leads and Ronald Converse and Ruth Kunferman, the funior lea s. The eighteenth: The January Seniors presented their Class Play in the auditorium this evening before a large audience. Howard Smiley in the Senior lead used some naughty words in the course of the production. Comments on the play, The Family Upstairsf' were very complimentary. The twentieth: The Varsity played the Vocats in the gym with the admission of ten cents. The Varsity won by a score of 28-7. The twenty-third: Everyone erase his books on the day before examinationsli' Such is the decree that is sent forth at the close of each semester. Incidently, it is usually obeyed. The twenty-fourth and the twenty-fifth: Final Examinations ! ! ! ,Nuff said. The twenty-sixth: Let's have a party . . . U The graduating Seniors had one in room 201 after their Banquet at the Eau Claire Hotel. Class Colors, green and gold, were carried out in the de- corations. It must be nice to graduate. I certainly wish I could, but June isrft so very far away. The twenty-seventh: Commencement!! Ninety-seven sad, or should 1 say happy, students left the Alma Mater never to return as members of Roll Call. However, some plan to come back for post graduate work. The exercises were simple and brief. Reverend Fred J. jordan addressed the graduates on What Are You Worth? Superintendent Keller presented the diplomas. The thirtieth: Another semester begins, this time with no Freshies. What a relief! Miss Krell strad- dles book shelves in search of missing books. The office is crammed with the newly graduated trying to get some post graduate courses. The Fine Arts initiated their new members. Games such as leap frog were played on the main streets. Courses in make-up were given with the application of red and green ink, Oh yes, they met at Murph's. FEBRUARY The third: It is to be written in this diary that janet Krohg entertained after a sleigh ride, or rather a walking party. A feature of the evening was the tossing about of human snow balls. I wonder if Ark Kohnen has found his hat? Eau Claireplayed-Agadia here and won 30-17, an avenge for our recent defeat at their hands. The tenth: Eau Claire played La Crosse here and lost 21-22. The fourteenth: The frst dance of the new semester was a Valentine Sunset, given by the Grey Dominos. Ted Erickson and his Melodians played better than ever. The gym was packed. The Kodak took organization pictures and we were dropping down to the gym every other second to find some missing person. The fifteenth: The Cabinet of the Girl Reserves entertained members and lady teachers at a Sil- ver Tea in the Conference Room after school. Five cents was charged for each tea off. Part of the money was used to defray expenses and purchase a whisk broom, darning cotton, scissors, and a packet of needles for use in the Girls' Conference Room. The remainder of the money will be used to buy cups and plates for the same room. Mr. Pratt and Mr. Anderson came and ate a bite also.
