Dear Dairy, As I sit here thinking of my past years at Dement High School, I look back at them with joy and yet regret that my high school days are coming to an end. A memorable occasion in my life was the day when thirty-six other green freshmen and 1 entered high school. The various initiations which were designed to indoctrinate us into organizations were looked upon as some sort of torture, yet we all enjoyed it. Then as a sophisticated sophomore I was proud of the way my class came through with flying colors in all the activities. The social life was most enjoyable with both all-school and class parties. Last year as a jolly junior I participated in activities to the poiut where my head began to spin. My class had the all-stars in football, seven of whom took the coveted letters. Instead of t he usual class play my class sponsored a “Junior Jamboree” to provide for the beautiful moonlight and roses set at the Junior-Senior Prom. With eagerness 1 looked forward to my senior year remembering that it wouldn't be long until I, too, would pass through the portals of Betohi for the last time. Hurray!! I have now reached my four year goal as a serious senior. As commencement draws nearer 1 think back over the glorious times I have had at dear old Dement High. I shall always remember the exciting-basketball and football games, the all-school parties, and one of the best plays 1 have ever seen, the “Mummy and The Mumps , our senior theatrical production. My classmates and I completed our high school career on May 2G with a most impressive commencement exercise. The address of the evening was delivered by Mr. William Skadden. And now, Diary, since I have been reminiscing, let me say a few things for the future. The class of 1949 have finished the “best years of our lives.” We now face the future—a future of uncertainty. So with the foundation high school has given us we are eager to go out and seek our places as the good citizens of tomorrow.

Dear Dairy, As 1 was looking into my crystal ball last evening I saw my classmates in the year of 1956. In the first scene that was brought through to me, I saw Dean Wright and Bill Strater trying for first in the S00 meter run in the 1956 Olympics. My vision was soon changed to a hospital where Dr. Charles McCabe was performing surgery with the assistance of liis two nurses, Jean Wright and Charlotte Tiffin. After a brief stay in the operating room I was visiting one of the wards where Phillip Bales was recovering from an explosion which occurred in his well known physics laboratory in the Adirondacks. The only person who survived besides Phillip was Lowell Redman, who was working on his famous Law of Reflection. My scene was changed to a more domestic scene where I saw Joan Downs, Carolee Patterson and Joan Fisher comparing new recipes obtained from the public library which was being superintended by Rose Mary Mundy and (Jenevieve Durbin. Next there came in view Ensign Dwight Boyd, getting some pointers from Bill Cooper, who has been third basing for the St. Louis Cardinals for the past two years, and Bud 'Smith, who is a steady pitcher for the (’ubs. The scene changed to New York where Mary Della Ileckman was modeling clothes for the famous dress designer, Jack Carlin. 1 then saw an airliner ready to take off with Peggy Bradley, the air line hostess, helping movie producer, Charles Lawson, get settled. Across the aisle was Richard Vincent who is now drawing cartoons for the Los Angeles Daily News. My scene was changed to Hollywood where Bonita Hixson was starring in the “Water Follies” which was under the able direction of Dean Phipps. Miss Hixson was using the new make-up which was recently introduced by the famous chemist, Arlen Hit teahouse. While I was still in the studio I saw Daraleen Still, the well known hair stylist, arranging Arlene Kittenhouse's hair. Arlene was making her debut in television by reporting on her latest book, “Brains are Cold.” In Ivesdale, our neighboring town, I saw the city government being run by Joe Sell uni, the mayor. Joe was talking to Jerry Callivan, an expert on all farm problems, who now heads the Grangers. As my crystal ball began to get hazy who should I see but Ray Warner, who is nominee for Congressional Senator, talking to Don White, who is trying to push a bill through Congress appropriating money for a school of taxidermy to be located in Bement.
