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 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.

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.
