u BERN1CE MATTHEWS A registered letter — and from whom is more than I can say. I just must read it before I do another thing. ... It feels pretty heavy ! From Eunice Cassidy. Oh ! she was a member of my graduating class in January, ' 22. Now, I remember! I haven ' t heard from her for an age. She finds a little red book on which is written, Diary of My Senior Year, by Mildred Whitted. (Looks at the little book hurriedly, but eagerly.) I wonder how this happened to be here. I ' ll read the letter and see. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 25th, 1933. Dear Bernice: I suppose you are quite surprised to hear from me, aren ' t you? I just attended an auction sale here and one of the things to be auctioned was a huge trunk, which aroused my curiosity as soon as I saw on the inscription plate the name of Mildred Whitted, one of my former classmates. I could hardly believe I was seeing the name of my dear old pal, Mickey. I was so anxious to see what the trunk contained that I was willing to pay almost any price to get it. No one else in the crowd seemed as curious to know its contents as I, so I secured it at a figure of only five dollars. I controlled my curiosity until I reached home. Upon reaching home I eagerly examined its contents, and in the midst of various personal things, such as a lip-stick, also a book on ' How to Have a Winning Personality, ' and another book on ' How to Become a Successful Candy Saleswoman, ' I found a little red book entitled, ' Diary of My Senior Year, ' by Mildred Whitted, which I am enclosing. I just couldn ' t wait any longer to send it to you. Yours sincerely, EUNICE CASSIDY. liarg of Ulg g ntar ar 3v MILDRED WHITTED January 18th, 1921— Well, this term has started and it has started with some pep, too. ' cause now there is a new senior class that is just bubbling over with activities. We seniors had a get-acquainted party in the Gym today at roll call The party was very successful, even as to getting acquainted. Russell Stotts had thought out a novel plan in order that we might get acquainted with each other. March 8th — It is rumored among the seniors that we are going to have our first meeting Wednesday at roll call. I just wonder what it will be like. I think we are going to organize the class. March 10th — Well, we have had our first senior meeting today in Room 30. We adopted the same constitution of all other loyal senior classes of Manual. First of all, we did our duty by electing the best officers a senior class ever had. Now, just listen: Harry Biersdorfer was elected president, Mary Johnson was elected vice-president, Jean Gregg was elected to keep the minutes of this class, and Harold Huff was elected to see that none of the money in the class treasury was begged, borrowed or stolen. March 12th — Can you imagine it, Harry Biersdorfer, pur honored president, came to school today with his shoes unshined, and then accused May Brennan of stepping on them. Wasn ' t that just like Harry? March 16th — Leonard Kord and Helen Kirkpatrick seem to be so interested in each other ' s lessons — I can ' t imagine why. March 17th — Thursday. My, we had a high time today selecting our class color. Some wanted gold and some wanted lavender, but of course, American Beauty, the prettiest of all, was chosen. Although some members of our class (not mentioning any names) were greatly opposed to this bright color because of some of our predecessors having chosen it ; there were no hand-to-hand fights, injuries or casualties. March 23rd— Wednesday. We had another class meeting today, but we didn ' t accomplish very much. Miss Knox gave Harry orders to appoint the Ivy Day committees and I think that ' s all we did. Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Arthur Mills led the class with some snappy yells before we adjourned. We sure put some pep into them, too. April 8th — We had an unexpected meeting today and we talked about an unexpected thing. The color committee was unable to obtain American Beauty ribbon at any of the stores, so they wanted our opinion on the subject. Since light cerise was so near the shade of American Beauty, we decided to take that for the class color. April 11th — Monday. The June class had their Ivy Day today and the exercises were fine, but the dancing in the Gym afterwards wes better. Everyone had a grand time, but just wait till the January, ' 22 class gives a party and then you will hear some remarks. April 12th — The boys selected the butterfly rose for class flower — Sh — don ' t tell anyone but I think I know why they selected it ; they knew it signified gracefulness and thought that was one way of attaining it. April 29th — Friday. Poor Mary, she had to take charge of the meeting today because Harry forgot to come to school. We selected our class pin design, which was made by Charles Hagemier. May 18th — There was much discussion in the meeting today, but very little was accom- plished. Miss Knox suggested that we think over our Ivy Day plans during our summer vaca- tion period. May 30th — I have been to the races and I am just dead tired. Tommy Milton won first prize. I am so sleepy I can write no more. June 11th — School is over ; no more lessons, no nothing, no more fun until September 6th. Continued on back cover (inside).
