A SENlOR'S RECOLLECTIONS June 1941 Dear Diary, Well, I made it! I passed that Latin after all. But gee, this certainly has been a swell year. Even if my lunch didn't digest during the first week at Lehman, I soon got the knack of high school life and was more sure of myself I could even find my way around the halls without being late to classes' Re member how excited we kids got when Don, Bill, Helen and Kassie were elected our first class officers? Weren't there some super performances in The House Beautiful and Firefly ? Wonder what next year will be like? June, 1942 Dear Diary, Greetings! I got my report card this P.M. and now I'm not a sophomore anymore. Seems awfully funny. Remember how important everyone felt when Helen and Bob were elected officers of Student Council? Bob was our class president too. I'll never forget that impressive assembly we had on December the eighth after japan had attacked Pearl Harbor! I guess we're really growing up! Most of the boys went out for football and basketball, and Bevier, Bob, and jim really made names for themselves. Remember those brisk autumn nights out at the stadium when I yelled my head off for the team? How excited we were when the basketball team reached the State Class A Semi-finals at Kent! Gee, what a year! June, 1943 Dear Diary, I'm going to be a senior! I can hardly wait! I had loads of fun this year though. It surely was super singing all those old time songs in Musical Stars. Remember Polly, Leota, and john in their Gay Nineties costumes? I was certainly proud of Slug in her role as attendant to the Victory Queen. This time Maury helped when our basketball team really went to town and proved we had some- thing. C Not that I'm boastinglb Bill started something with his cheerleading too. Some of the kids are now in National Honor and Quill and Scroll, and others took Thespian laurels. Even so, I still think the Prom was the most exciting event to all of us with Dick and Marye Ann leading the grand march. Wonder if Iill get invited next year? H June, 1944 Dear Diary, I don't know whether to cheer or weep! I got my diploma today and said good-bye to Lehman. I've spent four happy, memorable years in her halls and can never forget her. All the colorful operettas, autumn football games, classes, teachers, friends--these will always be very precious to me. I'm going to college now, but a lot of my classmates are going off to war and others are entering factories and offices. For war or peace our four years at Lehman have prepared us well. Page 21
