10 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER MISS PEPPY,S DIARY March 27- Today to B2 meeting, where one Miss Ralph did speak to us on flower arrangement. Heaven prosper the beauties of nature! Tea afterwards, of which all did partake with enjoy- ment. March 29- Much interested in this morn- ing's assembly program-a debate by freshmen from civics and economic citizenship classes. Marvelled great- ly at flow of oratory for and against Townsend for old age pensions. Both sides did present amazingly convinc- ing arguments, albeit, after much pondering, the judges awarded de- cision to the negative. Verily do our freshmen merit praise! April 5- To auditorium, where one Mr. Carlton J. King of Junior Chamber of Commerce did enlighten us concerning the Know Your Spa cam- paign. Ashamed at my ignorance of the fair city in which I was born, and do hereby resolve to be more curious and public spirited in the future. At night was fortunate in having ringside seats, I being one of the orchestra, in which to witness our Senior Play. Talent of mem- bers of the cast extremely promising. Verily do Miss Smith and others who helped make the play a success deserve hearty congratula- tions. Reception of flowers afterwards also very impressive. So home, so to bed. April 12- Diierence from usual assembly programs today, in form of dancing and tumbling exhibition by Miss Mills' gym and dancing classes. Scenery very pretty-made to represent a toy shop. Much skill, agility, and grace demonstrated in the performance. April 18- Did anticipate the lifting of a great load from my weary shoulders,

How shall we fill them from morning to night, Away from the school of blue and white? Where shall we turn? Will all be well? E What shall we do? Only Time can tell. Some will seek portals of greater learning, Some travel far for the heart's high yearning, Some be content with an honest earning. But wherever we wander in search of light, As we tread the valley or climb the height, Memory will cling to the blue and white. Why think of failure? Why of defeat? ' Rather look bravely To life complete. Genevieve Callahan

THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 11 as there was an infinity of talk about Easter vacation, which does commence on the morrow. Assembly this afternoon in form of religious drama, So Pilate Washed His Hands. Such emotional tension and marvelous acting involved that I did emerge dewey-eyed from auditorium. Scenery and costuming very beautiful, and sound effect of thunderstorm so realistic that we did marvel. April 23- With glee did scan our Daily Saratogianf' as I did read that Dorothea McTygue, Anna Durcan, and Muriel Armer were Winners of the Easter Window Contest. A deal of credit to these pupils in Retail Selling. April 24- To Mr. Lorey's this sunny morn, Where much effort toward beauty -this being season for senior photography. Home With much concern over fate of the camera. April 30- lVIuch clean fun today as our chemistry class did attempt to make soap. Alas, that only one group did succeed in producing a lather! Mightily relieved that I had not to Wash with so-called soap made by me and my colleagues. May 3- Variety of events this day, the first being one-act play in assembly by Business English classes. Reactions of Betty Bathrick and Bill Martin to the third degree' very interesting. This afternoon senior girls' meeting, Where We did decide on White semi-formal dresses for graduation. At night to Junior Prom. Lights, music, decorations, punch and entertainment, all very enjoyable and effective. Did shriek with unladylike mirth at antics of The Man on the Flying Trapeze, in form of Gene Kelly, Wearing pink tights and tall silk hat. May 9- An assembly this morn for girls-in connection With two-day vocational conference. Also illustrated lectures about various voca- tions in home rooms after school. Do confess that I found advantages and faults in every profession and not yet decided about life Work. At 8:00 p. m. to participate in Annual Music Week chorus and
