Q --MQW . -School lets out at 2:30 again. Seems as if school was more enjoyable now. -Studying Julius Caesar. Found a place where ,Shakespere's language could be improved. Believe I'll write tragedies when I grow up. -Dedicated trees for our gold stars. Very impressive ceremony, and I felt quite serious. Those were sophomores once, just like myself. -Last day of school again. I ought to be some punkins here next year, being a junior. Think I'll work a little this summer. '19-'20, -Caught a freshman not yelling in pep meeting today. Told him to yell. He did. -Storm Lake beat us. Had assembly, in which we yelled more than we had be- fore this year. -Beat West High again this year. Thought we were going to be easy since Storm Lake beat us, but they got fooled. -North High beat us again today. Best game I ever saw. We sure have some team, even if we did get beat. 4 -Vacation this year on account of the coal strike. Evidently they think our class don't need as much school as the rest. -Put plates over our lockers so we couldnit use our buttonhooks to open them. .Another-tradition busteek -- - - - - -- f f f f' K' 1 Y' Y Y ' W' f ' -Last day of school again.

Three times since I've been in East High. Seemed like a game of water polo this time. -North High victimized. City champions. Must be because I'm a senior. Also we can claim the state championship.
