SDiary of a (Mavs lveseus SEPTEMBER 6... . Directing my telescope toward the Earth and focusing on a new disturbance in the Western Hemisphere, I noted millions of small particles hurrying to various points of concentration, which points my colleagues define as “centers of instruction.” SEPTEMBER 26.... A group of prominent stars appeared today, which I identified as the E. C. Glass High School Senior Council. In the midst of these shone a particularly bright planet, namely the council chairman, Julia Funk. OctoBEeR 4... . Being partially blinded by the bright light surrounding President Archer Blood as he gave his inaugural. address, I almost missed the twinklings of his satellites: Vice-President, Joe Byrd; Secretary, Fred Morris; Treasurer, Roland Peters. OcToBER 7... . Today I watched a ‘‘football game.” The Glass High team defeated a team from the town of Richmond, a group known as the Thomas Jefferson High. NoveMBER 10... . Saw spots today. Spots of blue and white which I attributed to the yearly occurrence over which no one seems to have any control. “Senior Day,” I think it was called. Such strange antics and grotesque foolery I have never seen in this universe. NoveMBER 11... . Streaks today. This time the annual Senior parade. Influenced greatly by the actions of the football stars again, Alexandria fell this time, 18-6. DECEMBER 2.... Noted that the unusual conditions prevalent since October seventh cleared up with one last explosion. E. C. Glass and Portsmouth collided, with Glass end- ing on top, 13-6. DECEMBER 8. ... Stars light! Stars bright! Nothing but th e Senior Banquet could call forth such brilliancy. Merrymaking, feasting and dancing, and apparently an excellent time by all. January 12... .. Needed a new telescope tonight. Didn’t want to miss a movement of the new occurrence, which was the first showing of the basketball planets. They look almost like the sun to me. I must watch that. January 16 ....I witnessed my first eclipse today. There is not a bright light in view only the shadows slipping from room to room. This peculiar phenomenon, known as examination time, occurs semi-annually. Marcu 6.... The calculations of several eminent astronomers, including Mr. Bierly and Mr. Nicholas, proved accurate tonight, when a cluster of rapidly moving heavenly bodies, constituting the opera Firefly came into view. This body contained many small stars with several outstanding ones which were a pleasure to observe. Marcu 9... . Glancing around the heavens this evening I was appalled by the sight that met my eyes. A comet was seen rushing at great speed toward the star Alexandria. I identified the comet as E. C. Glass. I speculated considerably on which would give way. I was not surprised to see the star completely consumed by the comet leaving only a trace of the great star. This gave to the Glass comet the undisputed title of State Cham- pion. MarcH 19... . Pointing my telescope nearly to the zenith I was nearly blinded by the light from a small cluster of exceedingly bright stars. These were identified as the E. C. Glass chapter of the National Honor Society. Aprit 26 .... Tonight I observed for the first time in many months the group of stars making up the Senior Play. The most conspicuous of these was Rachel Akers and among others deserving mention were Virginia Kash, Betty Coleman, and John Slocum. JuNnE 10... . Last observation for season. On this date the most prominent stars passed out of sight. Although they will not reappear there will be more to take their place. This final offering of the Seniors was one of the brightest and most successful of the season and I am now turning this notebook over to the succeeding generations to use as they desire.

The Senior, graduating from high school, has many more problems to face than he did have years ago. It is the purpose of the school to pre- pare him to meet these problems and find the best solution. The graduating class has made for itself a fine record in scholastic and extra-curricular activities and shows promise of maintaining that record in the activities of life. To each one, we wish a successful future. SENIORS
