A SENIOR'S DIARY September 5.- It just doesn't seem possible that this is my last year in school. It will seem terrible next year not to see all my old friends with whom I started to grade school and then completed high school. The same teach- ers, practically, are over at the grade school, but the high school has had quite a turnover of teachers. To- day we welcomed Mr. Hodge and Mr, Mies. I like them. 8.- School really is getting under way, for we held our class elections today. The boys always run everything. ll.- We organized a Commercial Club in Typing II Class this morning. Anyone who has taken or is taking two or more commercial subjects is eligible. This club should help us a lot. l5.- This fateful day, the day of initiation' at the park, has all the freshmen scared. The seniors, I no- tice, have gotten over the thrill of it. 2O.- We had the difficult job of picking out announce- ments. It's amazing to me that we ever agreed on one. 22.- F. F. A. initiation always tickles me because it is so different from other initiations. The boys looked SO 265' domestic with aprons, silk stockings and earrings. Our virtuoso, Brent Mann, organized an orchestra today. I hope it is a good one. 29.- This October Mary Galbreath was elected president of G. A. A. is the fourth year of our G. A. A. organization. 3.- More fun! Mr. Sherwood was here and demonstrated tho use of colored inks on the mimcograph. I can hard- ly wait till we try it on the next issue of the 4.- A strange thing happened this week. Bill and Rox Horney tied twice for president of the Courier Barrett Student them to Council. I guess the only solution will be for take turns. 9.- Everyone had his picture taken today. Some were quite good but I hope no one asks to look at mine.

. ll and l2.- My! but I'm glad when six weeks tests are over for it seems as though you can get another start. 2O.- The dignified seniors CAhemD started the social whirl with a party and what a party it was! 25.- 'The High School Mysteryn is finally given. It was kind of spooky if you ask me. 51.- Hallowee'n wouldn't seem right without a party so we decided to have an all school party. I'm sure the main purpose was to keep our little high school boys off the streets. November l.- Our magazine campaign ended today and the sixteen students in the Typing II Class accomplished as much as the whole school did last year. 7.e The freshmen held their first party tonight. They aren't half as bashful as we were. what is this genera- tion coming to? l4.- It seems like school isn't really started until basketball is in full swing. We played our first game, which was a close one, at New Boston, and lost by only one point. l8.- The F. F. A. boys held one of their annual dances. Unlike some, it was a big success. 2l.- Our K-Log campaign is going well. So far we have sold 175. Not bad, 284- Oh--disgrace! Monmouth beat us all to smithereens this evening.No wonder,anyone would lose on that floor. December l.- We played Stronghurst here and, I'm not right sure but I think they beat us. We oan't blame the floor this time. 5.- Mrs. O'Leary's Cow was given by the Junior Class. As an added feature they had a magician who was very good. 7,- Here's that commercial club again. So far we have- n't missed a month. This time wc had a Christmas tree with all the trimmings.
