DIAIQY, 1935 September 10. 1935 School opened today with a lot of noise and excitement. It certainly seemed good to be back and see everyone again. Now l'll have an ex- cuse for not making my bed in the morning. September 20, 1935 Believe it or not, but we girls persuaded the boys and Mr. Lightner to let us go with the players on the bus to the night game at Delano. We must have been a good influence because we won 2110. October 19, 1935 Excitement and then somell Strathmore played its old rival, Porter- ville today, and Strathmore emerged victorious. The score was 7-6. November 2, 1935 The friendly enemies, Strathmore and Lindsay, met in a combat upon the turf of S. Ll. H. S. on this Saturday afternoon and again the Spar- tans were victorious. 7-6 must be our lucky number. November 8, 1935 Mr. Lightner was unable to accompany his team to Delano tonight be- cause he was ill with the flu and his boys didn't know how to act when he wasn't along. They forgot their manners and beat the Tigers 55-0. November 14, 1935 We had an unexpected vacation today. The furnace broke and we were not permitted to stay at school lmuch to our disappointmentl. November 19, 1935 In honor of the heavyweight football team, Coach Lightner gave a ban- quet for them this evening at his home. November 22, 1935 The Girl Reserve-Service Club play was presented tonight at the Hiqh School Auditorium. lt was entitled A'Help Yourself. It certainly was a success. The football boys certainly are lucky. Here is another affair in their honor. After the play, the Girl's Auxiliary sponsored a dance for S. Ll. H. S.'s mightv men of the qirdiron. lt seems that football is much simpler than dancing for some of the boys. December , 1935 The Seniors had a hayride as their class party tonight and from all l hear it was quite a success. December 20, 1935 We had quite a different kind of assembly program today. For some time there has been an argument between the girls' orchestra and the boys' orchestra. Today they had a contest in assembly and it proved to be quite an affair. The Razz-ma-taz-jazz Boys won the contest but the Spartanett7s are not discouraged. The girls will entertain the boys at dinner some time next week. Ianuary 3, 1936 Today was quite a big day. First, it was Homecoming Day. It was a lot of fun to have all of one's former schoolmates back again. Then there was the basketball game. S. U. H. S. played Tulare-and won to make it all the better. And then came the happy ending-the Spartan Knight Dance. Ianuary 4, 1936 The Iunior class defied S. 1.1. H. S. and held its meeting across the road on the airport and decided to have a snow party. Today was the big day and nearly the whole class went to Lodqepole and spent the day. They ate beans-and more beans. George Lewis took motion pictures which will be shown to the student body. M40-

A girls' quarette from La Verne College entertained by singing well known songs and novelty numbers. The value of an education was the topic of a talk by Cameron Beck of the New York Stock Exchange, A variation of the unusual type of musical programs was one given by the Durfelt and Ebby evangelists. The program consisted of marimbaphones and bells. The Chevrolet Motor Company presented some very interesting moving pictures on the manufacture of automobiles, safety first, and similar topics. We had an unusual program when Ernest Nickel whistled for us. He gave some advice and information on whistling and during the next day or so, there seemed to be a number of embryo or would-be whistlers around school. All students and alumni turned out for the annual Home Coming Day. The afternoon was spent in an assembly program and rally, ending with basket- ball and football games between the alumni and the students. The Spartan Knights honored the mothers on Mothers' Day on May eighth with an assembly program. The boys' glee club assisted them by singing. In keeping with the modern times, the sophomores conducted an amateur contest. A large amount of talent was found in the four classes as a result of the program. -39.-

Ianuary 25, 1936 The first semester ended today with finals. Some fun!! February . 1936 April 18, 1936 The seniors presented their class play, The New Pool, tonight and it was a real success. Mr. I-lemmerling directed both the play and the orchestra and both were very good. March 27. 1936 The glee clubs presented their operetta this evening. It was Tune In and as the title suggests. it was about a radio station. It was a grand operetta. Hoot mon! I thought I'd never stop laughing. April 11, 1936 The track teams all went to Tulare today to participate in the 20-30 Re- lays. There have been quite a few track meets lately and Strathmore has been doing very well in all of them. April 16, 1936 The Spanish Club held its annual Fiesta tonight at the High School. Very hot Spanish food was served. In fact it was so hot that they had ice cream for dessert. The members of the club played Spanish games and judging from all the noise that came from the building, I believe everyone had a good time. The Girl Reserves gave their annual Mothers' Tea at the club house this afternoon. The theme was Iapanese and it was very effective. The room was beautifully decorated. April 25. 1936 The service Club sponsored a Play Day today for girls from Lindsay, Exeter, Visalia, Tulare. and Porterville. The girls played several games and then the Service Club girls served a light luncheon. May 8, 1936 Tonight was the night of the Iunior play. It was entitled Hold Every- thing and it certainly was a grand success. May 13, 1936 S. U. H. S. had its annual exhibit this evening. Mkom and Pop found out what Iunior had made for little sister, and what Nelly had made for her hope chest. I think every one enjoyed seeing what the students have accomplished this year. May 23, 1936 This is what all the Iuniors and Seniors look forward to all year as the last big event before graduation. The Iuniors entertained the Seni- ors this evening at the Iunior-Senior Banquet. The student body was invited to the dance after the banquet and l'm sure the Seniors were pleased with this last tribute to them. May 31, 1936 The Baccalaureate service this year was more impressive than ever be- fore. All the Seniors looked very lovely in their new clothes. It hap- pened that this year Baccalaureate was the night before graduation. une 1. 1936 What a busy day this has been! During the day, everyone was rushing around signing annuals and talking about graduation. The orchestra practiced with the Seniors during the morning. What a wonderful ending to a wonderful year! There is always something sad to me about graduation although I'm not graduating. I guess it's just hear- ing the Seniors talk about the good times they've had in High School and how they hate to leave. We all wish them luck during the coming years. .-41-
