Sept. 10 - Had our first gym class. Can't understand where the Seniors saw so much fun at it, Could we be that amusing. Frankly we don't think they are so hot themselves. If the next four years doult do anymore for us, i s hardly worth the struggle. Sept. 18 - Thoroughly convinced now that H111 isnft afraid of the teachers.

Sept. 29 - Daniel Chilcote and Anna Mary Walker have already decided too much education is not good for them, Hardlyyhere long enough for us to get acquainted.

Mary Jarrett, Secretary, Cless of '42 THE JAPS ' It was on that brief December day When e little country far away Stopped right up behind our back, And that was called a Jap attack . The yellow fellows seemed very bright, But look at their eyes - an awful sight: Those eyes are crooked, never straight And they slip up behind you like a rattle snake. But I guess Hitler put them to it, So he could get his little bit. But wo've done it before, and wo'll do it again, That vrlll be our slogan until the ond. Donald Gluck W
