'lr LAUREL if just simply got to hurry more. Went to the dentist with Edna, poor girl. This makes her ninth filling in two months. Madelyn Williams Between gulps of my breakfast I made a bet with Lee on the girls' game with Wilton. Knocked over a cream pitcher while shaking hands on the bet across the table. Grabbed my books and coat and dashed out the door with Lee stumbling behind me. Thoroughly en- joyed the combined antics of Goodspeed, Churchill, Hodgkins, and Davis in history class. Stayed in our home room during activity period and very reluctantly watched Davis and Com- mando Keith devour a complete bag of peanuts. In typing class I at last got higher in a speed test than Churchill did. Had to run and comb my hair between typing and English classes as Lawrence had redeemed himself by making me look like a very close relative of Ishkabibblef' Ioline Wilson I have arranged the pamphlets and magazines during my librarian periods, but if you think they'll stay that way you're mistaken. About five boys to one girl came down from study hall to scan the latest Life, Seventeen and others to see if they have missed anything. Two freshmen, C. Grant and R. Towle, would bc more than glad to provide entertain- ment but as yet I haven't found the time to be- come a really good audience. Shirley O'Donal After arguing my mother into walking to the movies so I could have the car, I went to the dance. The same people were there that always are. After the dance Ilwent to Bonneyis, ate a hamburg and went home. I went to bed and wondered why I bothered to get up in the first place. fVery dulll Lawrence Churchill I, Richard B. Hodgkins, do dedicate my school day to wandering. Wandering is really an art in itself. The definition of wandering is to move about without any special purpose. My straying periods are third, activity period .and sixth period. I really do feel kind of foolish every time I pass Mrs. Bryant's room and she gives me the old eagle eye. The place to wander is the oflice. Here is the most likely place where you will not get kicked out. There is one activity period a week when I can- not wander and that is Friday. On that day I take Public Speaking. The last class we had, Commando Keith and I got fooling and Mrs. Iohnson bounced us. Well, that gave us three- quarters of an hour to wander. I think there is just one person who can wander better than I can and that's Earl Goodspeed. Maybe George Besson ranks third and there are quite a few more who are apprenticing the trade. In years to come there ought to be some excellent Wanderers. I think every teacher should re- spect a wanderer with admiration. P. S. Funny they don'tl Richard Hodgkins That radiator still leaks in history class and I have to keep my dogs up off the floor. To- day, down in lab, we calculated densities and boy, was I ever dense. Well, we won the game with Wilton. What a team! Makes' me really proud of good old F. H. S. I've got to sign off now, diary, and find out how many Confed- erates it took to make the Bull Run. Glennis York Our Daily Reminders Errol Gray-With the feminine mind, more logic, less argument. Donal Stanley-There is a fairer sex in school too. Millard Parlin - Let Dickie have your Spanish paper. Arno I-Iill-Have that history ready for class. Richard Roy-Play to live, not live to play. Herbert Duley-Check those tires daily. Richard Lidstone-Try 30 miles an hour for a change. Richard I-Ieminway-Don't keep clad waiting. Bill Morley-Listen for that English assign- ment. lack Bell-Don't lose that Brooklyn accent. Walter Nies-One rogue is usher to another still. Glen Farmer-Visit Tarbox and Whittier's. Ralph Clafiin - A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men.
