14 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER aOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOC MISS PEPPY,S DIARY March 23-- Today with much dispatch to gymnasium, Where three Navajo In- dians did give most excellent exhibi- tions of their native art. Did most earnestly watch that I might learn to draw figures in the sand. Alack! Methinks I shall never become a medicine man unless I take an agency for Dr. Hokumis Muscle Builder- fifty cents a bottle. March 24- This night did I betake myself nsNYou to a performance given by; our Chorus and Orchestra in honor of music week. Did raise two blisters upon my fingers by overmuch clapping. In truth, a most fine entertainment. March 25- To a very charming program put on this evening by the music club. Did enjoy it Without any alloy, knowing that there would be no schooleto quote Macbethetttomorrow and tomorrow and to- morrow? Verily the prospect of Easter Vacation makes music even fairer. April 15e This day did hear debate between Troy and Ilion in National Forensic League contest. Did bemoan the fact that I could not be three places at once, for in hearing this argument I did miss two others at the same time in different rooms. Alack! To take full advantage of the present educational system one needs must be triplets. April 16- This evening to speaking contest at Skidmore. Did rejoice to see J oan Davenport carry away a large silver cup. Am perplexed by the queryettls Miss Davenport the only one who may drink from this cup ?ii Should like, myself, to quaff from its bounteous depths, provided, of course, they Contain no Vile potion.

THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 15 MN:OEOEODOEOEOEOEOEOEOEO:OEOEOEOEOEOEOC April 17- This night to Albany to hear much argument on chain stores. Albeit our teams did not debate, I did most heartily enjoy listening, especially since I did not need to be particularly anxious regarding the outcome. ' April 18- Yet more contesting! This day a pretty program of public speaking did draw me to Albany. Did rejoice that three Saratogians were chosen to represent the North Eastern Section of United States at Ripon. Do heartily congratulate Annabel Tyger, Virginia Phair and Donald Peets. May they have the best of luck in Wisconsin! April 24- To assembly to watch most amusing little play given by Miss Stoddardts commercial Club. Did grit my teeth fiercely at the scurvey villain, but rested easy upon seeing the heroism of the secretary. Meseems this play had a striking moral-JtCatch all the thieves, and the boss may offer you his hand, along With several shares of pre- ferred stock? May 1e- To assembly to hear talk by representative of Syracuse Uni- versity. Am most sadly disillusioned to learn that college life is not all the movies paint it. Do most fearfully cling to my one re- maining hope. Surely, at least, the professors are absent-minded? May 8- This morning a most novel and ttfuturistic program. Methinks ttis a most interesting idea to draw aside the curtain of time and peep forward twenty years. yTwould be most meet that our local musical talent receive the appreciation foretold for it in the R. K. 0. program. May 15e Today did listen most eagerly to the genteel reports made by our contestants regarding Ripon. Did gather that the place is a veritable Utopia of town-spirit, boosting and Winning. D0 Wish we might all drink a little of the Riponian spirit. This afternoon to B2 Club meeting, Where graduation dresses
