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.

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. '- September 15. I surely did 4 Q get hooked today. Some one sold me a ticket to a pep assembly. 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.

f s 4 1 l,1.,:,,1,r1.g5'qggg1,:. - 1 l THE 1932 JUNIORSENIOR PROM Wheii the guests arrived at the gym at 6:30 they found a beautiful moon-lit garden with a gate and flowers, and even stars. A novel feature was the serving of supper at small tables decorated with black and silver and set around the dance floor, producing a lovely effect. At 6:45 the invocation was given by Father E. V. Kennan of the Grace Episcopal Church. Wliile the guests were enjoying a delicious supper, Everett Laughlin welcomed the Seniors and Robert Schmelzle responded. Members of the Senior and Junior classes then gave interesting toasts-Ernestine Dobler, Lawrence Lawyer, and Jeanne Morton spoke on Planting, Cultivation, and Buds in the Garden of Life. The t02lStS concerned Senior leaders, girls' activities, and boys' activities and were treated with refreshing originality. A comedy skit Sunflowers was presented by a Junior and a Senior, Robert Kerch and Leo Bach. An interesting and varied program was given by the members of the music classes including chorus numbers, a selection from last year's operetta The Firefly and selections from The Vagabond King. Credit for the planning and serving of the supper and for the eflicient manage' ment was due to Miss Edna Miller and Miss Kathryn Babcock of the Home Economics Department. Until 11:30 the guests enjoyed dancing under the moon which looked quite realg the music was furnished by Hoffman's orchestra. Altogether this was the outstanding social event of the year and one which will be long remembered by all who attended. Page One Hundred 'Thirteen
