Dear Diary: Today I met a woman who I think is pretty nice. She is Miss Blount. She was walking up the stairs on crutches, so I thought I would help her. She was very grateful and she told me she had broken her ankle. She certainly is brave to walk down these halls with all these wild Indians. All the girls I know say she is very kind and understanding. lShe must be marvelous if she can understand womeng they're my biggest probIem.? . . . It didn't take me long to find out that Mr. Konold is a regular guy. To- day I was late to fifth period because I got mixed up about C.R. Mr. Kon- old only laughed and said it happens to everyone ONCE. He said, however, that it wasn't a good excuse the second time. Mr. Konold is certainly a busy man as he is adviser of the Boys' Feder- ation and the Commission. Even with all this responsibility he is always willing to give poor scrubs like me a little of his time. . . . When I was still in grammar school Mrs. Hood, the counselor, came to talk to us about the subjects we should take. She made everything real clear to me, and I had my program all ready. But sure enough, today they put me in an A9 Algebra class instead of B9. I was scared enough anyway on my first day of school without something like this happening. Everything is all straightened out now though because my teacher sent me to see Mr. Stoddard, the registrar, to get it fixed up. He is the same fellow who helped Bud fix his transcript lcheck that word? for the Army Air Corps. He arranges all the pro- grams for the kids in school, and Sis says it is quite a job to keep their credits straight.

EARL DIFFENDERFER Attendance Officer z.: ew- , -if -.fr-' i?P4-4 AZ' N It seems today was a bad day. Sis and I both had trouble at school. First, I was late for one of my classes, so I had to get a tardy slip. Miss McCollum, who is in charge of attendance, explained to me about our tardy system and her secretary helped me to make out my slip. I promise never to be tardy again because I want to keep a good merit score. My Sis went to see Mr. Casey for a work permit for Christmas work, but Mr. Diffenderfer, his assistant, said she needed a birth certificate before she could get the permit. We spent all afternoon looking for it . . . . Mr. Schultz, the speech correction teacher, has been helping Thuzie with her speech after school. She has trouble pronouncing her words clearly. Miss Leonard has been helping her keep up her work in her classes, 'cause Suzie's speech trouble kind of handicaps her. MISS DELLA LEONARD Visiting Teacher MR. DONALD A.
