Seniors Excerpts from the Diary of the Senior Class September 5, 1932. Hurrah! School clays have begun again. There arc fifty-six enrolled in our class. The freshmen are as green as any ever seen. Some of the students from the country missed several classes by not going to the right room. October 20, 1932. Last night we had a party. Mr. Hawkins turned out to be the champion ping-pong player of the evening. The cocoa was burned to a crisp, and some of the toasted sandwiches were burned a little on both sides. May 31, 1933 We had a Freshman-Sophomore picnic today at Indian Lake. The Seniors arrived in time for dinner. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself. September 6, 1933. Another summer has passed and now we are in the great class named Sophomores. There are now forty-five members in our class. Some have made a name for themselves in basketball. October 20, 1933. We held a party in the gym last night. The evening was spent in dancing and playing ping-pong. Chocolate milk and doughnuts were served. The party broke up at 9:30 for some reason or other. May 24, 1934. We decorated for commencement this afternoon. Some of the class were chosen to usher. They considered this quite an honor. September 4, 1934. Today we were classed as Juniors for the first time. Mrs. Crittenden is our sponsor. There are forty members in our class this year. There are two new members who just entered our school. October 24, 1934. We received our class rings today. Everyone is wanting to have a look at them. March 30, 1935. Six members of our class participated in the Junior-Senior Play: “Hobgoblin House.” Two members have leading parts. This was a mystery play and we had large audiences both nights. May 31, 1935. We gave the Seniors a nice prom. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served. Everyone enjoyed a good time. Commencement is over, now we are dignified Seniors. It certainly feels great. September 13, 1935. For some reason we now have a sense of superiority. It must be because we are Seniors. We are making great plans for the year ahead of us. November 8, 1935. We had our pictures taken today. Everyone was dressed in his best and appeared tc be smiling. (Continued on page 21) page thirteen
