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.

Don't be silly,they did,of course. 2O.- Maybe now I'll get caught up on my sleep.

January 5.- Our American History Glass went to the show HMr. Smith Goes To Washingtonn. It was worth seeing twice. l2.- We played a basketball game at Biggsville. Nice weather we are having. l7.- The F. F. A. boys entertained the G. A.

February l.- Robert Briggs, a cartoonist, was here demonstrating his abilities. He also sang and recited poetry. 8.- Practice for our operettauln Grand Old Switzerlandn is going strong now. l5.- I'm so excited I can hardly think. Hg beat Mon- mouth all to smithoreens. The whole school is in an uproar. l4.- The Commercial Department sent a lovely basket of fruit to Brent Mann who has just returned from the hos- pital. He enjoyed this kind of valentine very much. 22.- The American Legion presented a flag to the school and I thought the ceremony was very impressive. 24.- The juniors raised their money for the banquet by sponsoring a dance. I hope we have something besides hamburgers to eat.
