l2.- There was very little studying done today while the flag pole was being raised, l5.- G. A. A. girls had a Christmas party. There were very nice gifts exchanged, I thought. l5.- We played another basketball game, this time at Roseville. Who won? Don't be silly,they did,of course. 2O.- Maybe now I'll get caught up on my sleep. Christ- mas vacation usually is so full, though, I'll probably be glad for school. 29-5O- KMBS Tournament was held here. Such an excit- ing timel Biggsville won, incidentally. 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. A. girls and the girls outnumbered the boys for once. 22.- Forced vacations are my hobby or something.Anyway, a great snowstorm came in the night and school was post poned for a day. 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.

1n 1 I 29.- More six weeks tests. Whewl March 7.- nln Grand Old Switzerlandu was a great suceess.Suc- cess or no suecess,I am very glad it is over. 8.- We finally had our party in honor of the magazine salesmen, Martha Abbey and Paul Mink. We had lots of fun! 22.-25.- Easter vacation. School will soon be out. 27.- They can beat us at basketball but it is a differ- ent story when it comes to commercial contests.lI hopel Anyway, we won a practice meet at Biggsville. 28.- I wonder if twice will be enough to give the town- people a chance to see Nln Grand Old Switzerland.n It's too much for me. April l.- Miss Rowland has quite a sense of humor. When we came to American History Class she told us we would have a test and then when the groans had subsided,she lifted the map from the board and written on the board was April Fool. 4.- The Shorthand Preliminary was held today. 9.- The B1-County Chorus was picked. There are 20 lucky ones or perhaps I should say, unlucky ones chosen each year. l5.- The big party of the fear was held after returning from the District Commercial Contest at Yates City. We felt pretty good, not only because we won second at the contest but because the girls for once had the pleasure of inviting the boys to a party. You probably have guessed it, this party was a Leap Year Party. l6.- Everything seems to be happening at once. We won first place at a triangular track meet in Biggsville. Our speech contest is tonight, l8.- We d1dn't do so well at the Warren County 'Track Meet in Monmouth today. We won a few firsts but we came in third in the whole meet. 29.- Our music was well attended. I always enjoy it.
