November Who said November days were melancholy? For us they pass most awfully jolly. While twixt football games and dreams of turkey, We answer Herell' a wee bit jerlcey. Reports. Much moisture in air due to evaporation of tears. We bid for hot food by bringing some silverware. The orchestra entertains us. Also a speech from Dean Chandler. Our first A grade class meeting. Assembly and East High's first debate. Colonel Dube tells us of Armistice Day in France. No sixth or seventh bell. Oh boy! Bill Reeves teaches us some school songs and yells. We defeat Milford, 13-12. The best game of the season. -A bunch of the fellows have a sundae on Bell, the famous soda slinger. -Al Hill arrives before the tardy bell. Receives prize. A fine program in the auditorium. A four day vacation. Well we cer- tainly need it. December Yes, we do sadly need a vacation For we're about to have nervous prostration, And our brains which were so overtaxed For several weeks have surely relaxed. Then with shouts of joy and cheer We welcome Xmas, the best time of the year. -We high and mighty A graders are convened in the auditorium. -Explosion shakes chemistry lab. Black hand is suspected. -Assembly. President Hibben addresses us. -A grade meeting. Pins and Annual postponed till after the holidays. Some one apparently has designs on our Christmas money. -The early birds get busy with their Christmas shopping. -Lieut. Wiersbicki gives us a rousing talk. -Our first A grade dance. The lunchroom floor is still dangerous. -Queer bundles arriving at home excite our curiosity. -Papa buys the Christmas tree. -A fine Christmas entertainment with our orchestra and special chorus. -Merry Christmas, and hurrah for the holidays. 11331
