CHS diary, I am in the eighth grade. I am sure growing up. April. We all passed the 8th grade exam- ination, that is those that had to take them passed. Those who got an average of B or better didn’t have to. Jean is certainly taking a big interest in tennis this spring. Eu- gene seems to like to play, too. Next fall I’ll be in high school. I wonder if it will be fun. Of course you have to work awfully hard and the teach- ers get hard boiled some times, they say, but I can hardly wait to try it. Freshman Year ’33-’34. September 30. We have been in High school a month and finally have located all our classes. It isn’t hard. I thought it would be. Eucene is leaving next week. What will Jean do now?

If I don’t hurry I’ll have to stay in until 5 o’clock. Junior Year ’35-’36. Tall. Maybe our class won’t be so small after all, Doris and Jack Burger, Avery Graves, Carl Ferguson and Mervin Johnson entered our class new this year.

March 3. Our cla. ? play “Sound Your Horn,” was given last night. Wilma ; nd Doris were sure funny. I thought Mervin was good but he acted bash- , ful at first. Hope we made enough to feed the seniors.
