Junior Diary Dear D,ary: September 20, 1942 Now that I am a junior, I have decided that I’ll keep a diary of all the thrilling things our class does. I’ll keep this for you, Georgie, dear, while you’re away being a good soldier, then when you read it you’ll know just what we have done all year. Today, Georgie, we elected our class officers. Our president is Jack Elliott; our vice-president, Edward Gonsowski; secretary-treasurer, Kathryn Moore; student council member, Norma Grimes. Dearest Diary : September 24, 1942 The newspaper staff began its work today. We put half a page in the Georgetown News each week. Golly, I wish you were here, Georgie! Dearest Diary: October 22, 1942 This has been a big day, Georgie, dear! The juniors were measured for those lovely class rings. Our class play has been announced. It is to be “His Best Investment”. The newspaper staff officers were appointed. The first honor roll came out—lots of juniors were on it. Darling Diary : November 20, 1942 Today is the big event, the junior play, and everyone is coming. Thrills! Thrills! P. S.: It was a big success! Dear Diary: November 24, 1942 'Phis afternoon a noble deed was performed by a junior, Bob Sanders. He made the touchdown and field goal at Westville. Diary Dear: December 4, 1942 The juniors had a lovely “Old Home Town” party. Girls wore big red hair bows and the boys wore enormous black bow ties. I wish you could have been here. Dearest Diary : December 10, 1942 Bob Sanders, that handsome junior lad, was elected as next year’s football captain, at the meeting of the football squad today. Dear Diary: December 17, 1942 The juniors are working hard, as usual. They are selling pop, candy and popcorn at all the basketball games. Darling Diary : December 20, 1942 Oh, Georgie, everyone is doing her last minute shopping. The general topic among the juniors is, “What’s Santa bringing you?” I haven’t told anybody what you’re giving me. Dear Diary: January 4, 1943 First day of school after vacation and guess what the juniors got—a late Christmas gift, their class rings. Dearest Diary: January 14, 1943 The news is so scarce that we juniors have added two new articles to the newspaper: “The Roving Reporter” and the “Student of the Week”. Diary Dear: February 20, 1943 Oh, Georgie, we’re so thrilled! The juniors are going to buy a service tlag for the school. It is going to have a big star in the middle. Just think, you’ll be on it, Georgie, dearest. Dear Diary: March 16, 1943 Well, I hope you get plenty of candy, Georgie, because we juniors haven’t half of what we could sell and they do say it goes to the army. Diary Dear : April 2, 1943 Oh, what a wonderful operetta we had tonight. Beverly Lenhart, a junior, was one of the stars; Dan Liddell and Walter Williford were in it, too. Dear Diary : April 14. 1943 Now our busiest time of all the year is here. We are beginning our plans for the junior-senior dinner-dance. It is to be May 14, and we have engaged Matt Matthews for the dance. I hope all our boys don’t go to the army before it happens. payc Twenty-five (Written by June Lanter and Betty Ann Lawlyes)
