30 ought to serve tea during Glee Club...in that back row...they are lucky...Mr. Lockwood has to stretch his neck a bit farther in order to see them. NOVEMBER 8: In Chemistry Lab the uninteresting odor of hydrogen chloride leaked around the halls, and more than one Junior walked down the corridor holding that hollow structure in the middle of the face. NOVEMBER 9: A few of us just woke up to the fact that Marion Cortright has been sporting a thick identification bracelet around...the male variety... the name inscribed, James Aitchison...Could be love! NOVEMBER 10: All entranced in Assembly today. Captain Beverly Miller, U.S. Army, told us some of the hor-rors of war...and from what we hear, we'll get as far away from it as we can, and do as much as we can to end it. NOVEMBER 11: Just a perfect day...Girls played hockey over at Warwick,and that afternoon the fellows came over for the final final meet. We won the coveted trophy...yes, we beat Warwick, 6-0...It was a wonderful game...three fellows were carried off the gridiron...Guess they feel it was worth it. NOVEMBER 12: Victory Dance tonight...and was it fun? Goshen over-ran the place. NOVEMBER 13: SLAM! SLAM!...that seems to be the motto of everybody in school...” Where is the Senior Slam Book? .. Hey, who started this? . .. Wonder what they said about me! ... Geo. that's a dirty crack! . .. Jiraminy, what nerve! NOVEMBER 1U: Miss Donaldson spoke before the English Classes about China. We were all very interested... NOVEMBER 15: SENIOR MEETING..Our prom is really going to be the BIG event of the year...Seniors practi-cally all going...Juniors have submitted, and a few have admitted it will be a corker. NOVBMBER 16: Joan McEntire, Joyce Andrews and Genevieve Krzczuk really have some sort ofgabfest every Tues-day and Thursday in Glee Club...Does Betty Werner wear her hair that way to shield her complexion?... Question of the Day. NOVEMBER 17: Just today, in the one-act play put on in Assembly, did we realize the versatility of that Junior Class notable, Ray Bally?....We think he is essentially a good fellow...He also, in his spare time, does a good job as Junior Class president. NOVEMBER 18: Spaghetti supper tonight in honor of the Football Team...Dancing and movies. Arnold Smith is somewhat of a hero. NOVBMBBR 20: Another Monday.. .Everybody asking the next one, You going to the Prom? I hear decorations are going to be super!Is he taking her? .... It's going to be stupendous, NOVEMBER 22: Just half a day of school today...That's enough. Everybody showed up in old slacks or pants and Big Brother's shirt...Tradition, understand! NOVEMBER 23: Happy Turkey! NOVEMBER 2U: Big Night of the year...everybody and his twin, practically, turned out for the one and only gala affair of the year, the Senior Prom!

NOVEMBER 27: The dread of returning to school after a perfect holiday was surpassed by the fact that so many of the teachers gave us tests today. Every one wanted to spend the entire day talking about the Super-Colossal Senior Prom but, due to the fact that there were other things to do, they did not. NOVEMBER 28: While reading poetry aloud in English, Mr. Campaigne has found that a certain bug bites Clara Cipriani...she giggles all period...From that corner of the room it spreads to Harry Pownall,Danny McEntire and Francis Ford...And from then on out there's no stopping it. NOVEMBBR 29: Sophie Orzeehowski and Audrey Weeden are beginning to find out what Anna Murabito goes through when she is in charge of tickets...The Senior Play tickets are in their hands. NOVEMBER 30: At 12 noon all the Seniors went to sleep in English Class...all to no avail though, for Mr. Campaigne did not even notice. Sophomores, especially George Conklin, are all enthused about this dance they have a finger in for the eighth. DBCSMBSR 1: Tonight was the night of the Senior Play ..it was an excellent production and source of revenue.

DECEMBER 8: A Mr. Obenaus came to take the pictures of the Seniors for the Year Book...He's a pip... Smile there; that's the way...If you have beauty we take it; if you haven't we make it . We kept him busy. DECEMBER 22: Everybody left school this noon prepared to hibernate two weeks,waking only for the 25th. DBCEMBER 25: Santa, knowing how angelic all Seniors are, left them numerous gifts. We understand that last night some Juniors were on the questionable list.
