P e Fourteen nuta. But someday all of me will be In on the fun. (I hope.) I like to stick” together. it’s much easier to exist as a whole that way. Class of »£.8 Dear Diary I'm used the seventh, play tickets, of me goes to but doing all 19U3-W4. to Junior High now, and I like the eighth grade even better than Mr. Hoehne is my homeroom teacher. I'm very busy again selling carnival tickets and any other kind of ticket they hand me. Most all the athletic games. It seems like I am never still a minute, these things is what makes school interesting. Class of »lj.8 19M4.-U5 Dear Diary I'M A FRESHMAN NOWll Maybe I shouldn't say that so loud. The upper class - men all laugh at me and say that I look too little to be in high school. Nuts to them. I'm the biggest class this school has ever had I There are 68 parts to me at present. Miss Mott is my homeroom teacher. I have a lot of business to attend to so I need an advisor. Mr. Middleton fills that job for me, but I have officers to assist him Walt Jennings is president, Ed Prough is vice- president, Barbara Sunnock is secretary, and Arnie La Mere is treasurer. I had some candidates for King and Queen in the Carnival, too. They were Norma Bucher, Martha Genung, Arnie La Mere, and Dick Moberg. Oh, what those Sophomores did to me at the reception they gave for me. (Next year I can do the same thing.) They made me sing opera, roll peanuts on the floor with my nose, eat worms cooked spaghetti), and all sorts of gooey things. Class of '14.6 165- U6 Dear Diary I'm well established as the Worst Demon In C.H.S. Mr. Middleton is still my advisor (financial and otherwise). This year Miss Croft Is my homeroom teacher. The Freshman class has begun to call me the ”raean old Sophomore class”. Hal Hal I hope they enjoyed their reception as much as I enjoyed giving it to them. My new officers this year are president, Bernie Blue; vice-president, Arnie La Mere; secretary Barbara Sunnock; and treasure , Don Brennan. Nancy Stafford, Bev Reed, Walt Jennings, and Arnie La Mere were my king and queen candidates. We didn't have any luck in electing our candidates this time,.but wait 'till next year. Things will pop then I Class of 166- U7 Dear Diary I'm so busy this year I don't know whether I'm coming or going. The first thing that happened was to split me up again—now, part of me Is in Miss Mott's room and the rest in Miss Croft's room. Mr. Hoekje Is our new class advisor. I got my officers elected finally, and they are: president, Barbara Sunnock; vice- president, Bill Sullivan; secretary, Pat Bradley; and treasurer, Arnie La Mere. My king and queen candidates were Julia Hall, Nancy Stafford, Bernie Blue, and Bill Sullivan. Nancy was chosen queen. I put on a whopping good play which ran two nights and had a double cast. This was the first time It had been done in Comstock School. My Prom away from the School was another first . I gave the Seniors a banquet at the Columbia Hotel that was one to be remembered. Wow I When I see all this Is writing It mades me so tired I can hardly hold my finger up (the one with my NEW class ring, that is). I think I'd better put myself in bed for the summer to prepare for that Senior year. Class of »14.8 1 7-U8 Dear Diary Last round oomlng up.In fact, it is here I I have Miss Randall as advisor and Mr. Young for homeroom.For the last time I have new officers. Gene Coy was elec- ted president; Arnie LaMere, vice-president; Bernie Blue, secretary; and Mary Lou Cooper,, treasurer. Nanoy Stafford was on Student Council. Barb and Bill were king and queen. I did many things to earn money for my trip to the Wisconsin Dells 1 dances, bake sales, paper drive, sold basketball and football programs, and even sold special pencils with the basketball schedule on them. The hardest Jobs I had were the play and making my Annual. I thought I would never make those dead- lines I If I get all lg2 remaining parts of me graduated (I lost about 80 along the way) I will feel I have paid my debt to society and can safely fade away. Graduating Class of »I4.8
