LIZZIE GLI TZ' DIARY 1934-1935 Lizzie Glut , tripped up the stairs, A book clutched in each arm; It was her debut in Georgetown High, Thus the cause of her alarm. She entered the big assembly And stood there trembling with awe, She felt like a little mushroom Among the Seniors she saw. Right then and there she decided, Despite her shivery spine. She’d keep a diary about the school, And each day write a line. So here you see before you The finished work of Lizzie, Her personal opinions about events, They’re all here quite explicit. Sept. 4. Good gracious! Hi-Ho! My first day in the big Georgetown High School! Never saw so many stuck-ups” in all my life as those Seniors! Sept. 22. Oh, to be a football hero! But football hero or not, the team went to Oak Park and celebrated defeat by taking in the World’s Fair. Dale Morris was waylaid in the Streets of Paris. Sept. 29. Hotcha! Hoopeston came here and played today. I didn’t understand the game so I just watched the cheer leaders. Everybody on our side of the fence started yellin’ after the game was over, so I s’pose we won! Oct. 2. Hops! We’re gonna get to ride in a school bus coaxed” by Mr. Hcrrcn! Oct. 12. Teachers had to go to institute to keep up with those Seniors. Oct. 20.

Oct. 31. I got to go to the Hallowe’en Roundup” tonight. The Juniors fooled the Seniors and won the stunt prize. The boys took advantage of black make-up and kissed all the teachers. Not’. 10. How we doin’? The Buffaloes again defeated Hoopeston, 3 3-0! Not . 16. I says to Mamie, I says, says I, Mamie, the Juniors’ 'Heart Exchange’ was swell, both financially and dramatically!” Not. 22.
