November 2. By a special dispatch from the Spanish Club Exhibit, it is found that Mr. McCall spoke before that body on an interesting subject. Armistice Day, November the 11th. There is no func' tioning today at the World's Fair of Freeport High School. The day is given over to paying tribute to our honored dead. November 15. At our Ad' today was the happy day of all football players. I asked what he meant and he said it was the day for the annual banquet. December 7. I was rudely knocked over again, the sec' ond time at this fair that I have had that experience. There was a different cause this time.

These are some of the groans and moans I heard after the brief lapse of our Fair caused by the fact that Thanksgiving was here once more. November 28. I was quite busy today preparing for the one and only senior play to be given tonight at the Masonic Temple. The play, The Seven Keys to Bald- pate, was very well accepted by a large audience. Reed Alexander and Ruth Ryan put on a swell final clinch much to Ginny's disgust. November 28. The assembly advertising the senior play was held. I sold three tickets to some of the freshmen, so if you see me battered up tomorrow you'll know why. The characters of the play were introduced by a bunch of snappy chorus girls. December 5. I noticed that today many of the boys are looking kind of battered up. This is because that they were admitted into the HifY Club Exhibit. There were 15 of the boys so induced. December 6. The inquiring reporter informed me that Page One Hundred Sixteen December 23. I was cheered up tonight by the fact that our team came through against Elgin in a double header. Earlier in the day, I was forced to hold my sides when Bill Healy presented Mensie new material for his quibs in the form of a book called Still More Boners. I was also elated by the fact that there is no Fair business to be held until the New Year. December 25. Merry Christmas! December 30. At the Stadium, Freeport obtained ref venge for the 50-9 defeat which they suffered last year at the hands of Beloit. The revenge amounted to 25f25. Boy, did our team look good! january 1. Happy New Year! january 4. I heard indirectly that R. Hunter gave to the Latin Club Exhibit an interesting talk on Italy. It seems to me that I heard it mentioned that Bill Burt made a timely remark on how travel broadens the Latin mind.

POLARIS CALENDAR Herein is the diary of A. Student who visited the Cen tury of Progress, 1933, held in the Freeport High School. This diary is very personal, and any person who is not indiscreet should never lay his eyes upon it. All of you are now duly warned, so I presume under this warning that it will be left unread. But for the few who admit that they are indiscreet, I present my following account of Freeport High School's Century of Progress September 8. Today is the opening day and here it is 8:30, the time to open the gates of the Administration Building. Ourllosal Age 4 turus, Mr. Fu wi er, as Z A imdb lil September 23 There was an awful glare in the sky tonight and the same inquiring reporter informed me that it was because of a ni ht game at Soldiers' Field.

The mob took little heed of the fact that little A. Student was in the way After the Thundering Herd had passed over me I found that Virginia Clark was the person whom they were hurrying to vote for as president. September 30 At Soldiers Field, Dear Old Freeport came through again in a double-header. The results already arrived and the fun is ready to start.

I noticed that there was much chaos around that place, bu when I inquired, I found that the confusion was due to the fact that Bill Burt 2 f. had been elected president g ': ' of that organization.

It was worth it, though, to hear Joe Abate, the Mighty Atom of the football team, give a pep speech before the s Dubuque game. In the evening at Soldiers' Field we were beaten 6'0 by them. Better luck next time. September 16. Out of the Music Tower has leaked the news that a new drum major has been elected for il 0. fat H A Elf hlntllu T 11 W October 6.

The receiver of the honor was Everett Laughlin, an old pal of mine. September 19. I was awarded a special treat today at the Assembly Hall of this World's Fair. It was in the form of five colored gentlemen called The Utica jubilee Singers. The biggest thrill was to hear them sing, Ain't it a shame to kiss your girl on Sunday, when you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri' day, and Saturday? September 22. There was a terrible accident this morn' ing. All the products in the Dairy Exhibit turned sour. An inquiring reporter fMrs. Winchell's little boy, Walterl informed me that it was because 268 people had signed up for vocal training. Page One Hundred Fourteen ,, A ,f October 22. At the Big Six press meet held at Joliet, Freeport had six representatives. You can tell our' representatives by the smudges of printer's ink on their 1olly faces. October 24. This was the day for the annual senior class presidential election. The latest returns indicate that Everett Laughlin will receive the chair. fNot an electric one.J October 27. This was a day of hurrying and scurrying for all seniors. The movie The Light of the World was given at the local entertainment center, the Masonic Temple. A good time was had by all while waiting for the movie to arrive.
