mob! Sept. 5, 1950 My! ain't I sophisticated? Now I can show off my new streamlined ad- dition and flashy colors. I finally have the new look. Oct. 27, 1950 Homecoming today. I was sure proud of the long, beautiful parade that was shown by my students. The party proved that everyone was happy about our victory. Nov. 8, 1950 Everyone should know all about me after tonight. I was featured on a half hour KNHL program telling about my activities, history, and allthat makes me tick. Nov. 17, 1950 Oooh! I've just been haunted. Have you ever seen a vacuum oleanernmve by itself? Well, all this happened tonight when the Juniors presented their class play, WA Ghost of a Chance'. Dec. 20, 1950 Boy, was I filled with music tonight. My hall echoed with joyous Christmas tides sung by my vocal groups. Next Friday the grades and the band will show their talents. Feb. 17, 1951 My Junior High has quite a basketball team. Tonight they walked off with all the honors and now I have a shiny new trophy to exhibit in my show case. Thanks, Boys! Feb. 24, 1951 I'm jealous tonight. My team again left me to play in the big new Canby gym. They showed up Balaton last night but tonight they fell at the hands of Ivanhoe. I've suffered through a lot of thrilling games with all the screeching and hollaring but anyway I'm pleased with my teams record of 13 victories and only four losses. Mar. 2, 1951 Ooof-tal Old Man Winter must have a grudge on me. These last 3 days have been hard on my rhuematism. My kids were happy to go home, howeven My stairs fairly collapsed to my feet, when they left this noon. Apr. 12, 1951 Thank goodness the contest is tomorrow and Saturday. I'm so sick of hearing the same pieces over and over again, though I must admitthey really are well done. I certainly hope they can go on further to the next contest. Apr. 20, 1951 Those seniors have been practising hypnotism for their class play on me. They are tqying to convince me I am a beautiful opera house. The name of their play is nHead First.n May 5, 1951 They really have been trimming me with crepe paper. I feel like a Christmas present. It surely was worth it to see the girls in theirfbr- mals and the boys in their new suits. June 1, 1951 I now close my diary for another year. Next year familar faces will be absent, but new faces will be added. 126510 , 8 Wftcbg Mez
