Eminem frnm at Svrninfu Eiarg JESSIE CAMPTON, '09, Elirvahman Hear August 12. This is my first day in High School and I just wouldn't care if it was my last. My! but this is a big building! Bigger than any I ever saw-even in Blue Lake. T hey've got chalk lines all over the floor and I got stood in a corner 'cause I didn't walk on them and turn corners like this L. Guess Illl quit. August 13. Got mixed up in a Senior class today. Everybody laughed and so I just turned around and run. Bet I won't do that again. Didn't know where I was. August 17. Feel better. Say, there's an awful long teacher here and another awful short one. They're awful good friends and they look like Jack and the Beanstalk. September l. There's three rooms full of Freshmen and they're mostly all just as green as me. I got all mixed up in the rooms at first but now I know what's Room 8. The long teacher put me in a front seat without any desk to it today for talking. Didnlt stop though. September 15. A couple of Seniors Cor something elsej came in and guaranteed to run our election for us today. Huh! Guess we know who we want elected. but we didnlt have any more gumption than to vote the way they told us. December 20. Mr. Barker came into class today. He sat down and that loose bone in his jaw began to pop back and forth and we all got skeered and crawled down in our seats and pretty soon he got up and went out and never said a word. VVe kind of recovered from one state of wiltedness when Mr. Albee came in. He just grinned. Gee! I guess he's a pretty good fellow all right. April 18. W'hew! but there was the most awfulest earthquake this A. M. that I ever dreamed of thinking about. Some one said there was such a lively class of Freshmen that no wonder there was an earthquake. I don't think that was very nice. Guess this place was getting so dead it needed an earthquake to stir it up some. My! 1've hardly got my breath yet. May 5. Ilm glad itls going to be vacation pretty soon 'cause Miss Carter kept us till five o'clock tonight working Algebra. She put the whole Physics class out the other day and now everyone is asking XVho blew out the candle F I wonder what they mean? Snnhnmnrv Emu' August 25. Guess Mr. Cummings thinks I need watching. Put me in a front seat first today. Think I'l1 have to go tell him I'm a Sophomore so he won't treat me like a blamed Freshman. September 4. Some of those green Freshies got in our class today. Wish theyld learn to stay where they belong. W'e'll have to chastize them and teach them their places. PAGE THIRTY
