I'm sure they'll do a fine job. Our president de- cided at the end of the first semester that he would try his luck at something else, so our capable vice- president took over his duties. Nov. 20. Dear Diary, we're very well repre- sented on the football and basketball teams. We haven't been winning many games, but you wait, dear Diary, we'1l go! Oh! I almost forgot to tell you -we're going to sponsor the first dance of the basketball season. Dec. 24. Dear Diary, today, while Miss Hau- bold played the organ, we all sang Christmas carols.
