SENIOR DIARY OF IQLI-6 DEAR DIARY: As our high school days come to an end, let us record some of our most treasured activities that occurred during our Senior year, that we may recall them from tlme to time as fond memories. SEPTEMBER 4-Vacation is finally over. School opened with a bang, fand I do mean bangl. Every- one was back and naturally the Senior! presided. OCTOBER 2-Leaves of brown came falling down. Which remind us of our hrst skating party. It seems as though not only leaves fall down. Most of the Seniors come to school the next day faintly smelling of liniment. OCTOBER 16-Since our first skating party was such a success, the Seniors decided to hold another one. Of this there is only one thing to say, and I heard it quoted by some one in the hall At least we didn,t make any holes in the Hoor this time. OCTOBER 24-Halloween. Bats, goblins and witches congregated on our gymnasium Hoot to hold our annual Halloween dance. CSome fun, A Whatfj NOVEMBER 22-At Last! Our Thanksgiving vaca- tion. But Oh my aching stomach. The Seniors went around school for a week afterward with a glassy look in their eyes and moaning Oh I wish I didn't eat so much Turkey. DECEMBER 2- Let it snow, Let it snow . Let it snow. And that's exactly what it did. Old man winter is really here and to celebrate the Seniors went a skating again. But the remarkable thing of it was, I saw at least 6 really standing up without support. DECEMBER 22-Santa Claus is coming to town. And he really came. Except to those Seniors who were very bad. And of course none of our Seniors are bad fam I kiddingj. Oh well, our Christmas vacation was really pleasant anyway. JANUARY-The month of January passed a serenely by, unless you could call a few riots disturbing, or could you? These riots were due mostly to Mid- Term exams. Using the brain to study so much undoubtedly weakened the Seniors minds. Other- wise, they wouldn't think of doing anything so undignified as starting a riot. FEBRUARY 13-Will you be my Valentine? At our Bow Tie Dance the girls really consented. This dance was one of the best and most successful in the history of our school. Soft lights, laughter and music supplied by Gene Kaye orchestra helped make this dance enjoyable to all. MARCH 26-Another Skating Party-O, Well the Seniors intend to buy the Skating Rink anyhow. At this party the Seniors were instructing the Juniors in the fundamentals of skating. APRIL 30-In Spring a young Man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love. With April came our last skating party and the Seniors bid fond farewell to this familiar haunt. We certainly will miss those wonderful times we had there. MAY I-O Romeo Where fore art thou Romeo. The Class Play Wanted, A Hero finally came off after weary months of rehearsing. I didn't know we had so many talented actors and actresses. MAY 9-We certainly did get classy for our Jr.-Sr. Banquet this year. It was held at Nemacolin Country Club. MAY 6-Members of our Senior Class turned up in formal clothes at our Prom which was held in our gymnasium. MAY 21--May Day and Classnite combined. The May Queen, Dorcas Tremback, was crowned and presided over the Senior Class during the exercises. The Senior Class began to realize what they are leaving behind. MAY 19-Baccalaureate in solemn splendor. MAY 24-Graduation. After 12 long years of hard work the Seniors finally marched up to the stage in their caps and gowns and proudly received their diplomas, and so ended our Senior Year in Marion High School.

SENIOR CLASS PROPI-IECY I was startled dynamically enough by an old witch, who, instead of riding the traditional broomstick, arrived in a cloud of dust made by a Vehicle which, although crudely constructed, somewhat resembled a bicycle. The doorbell rang and I hastily ran to answer itg then composed myself and nonchantly opened the door. , I don't know what I expected, but I assure you I didnit anticipate what I saw, or should I say, didn't see. The bell was ringing and there wasn't anyone ringing it. I suppose I stared for a moment, which was only natural, and then I felt a cold breeze pass me and I quickly shut the door. As I turned, I was rudely awakened to the reality that I had a visitor. I came to the conclusion that she was human and yet I had never before, in all my study of anatomy, seen any human who even dis- tantly resembled her. Before I had time to ask any questions she informed me in a rather cold, calculating voice that she had been sent to me to open the door to the future fates that are waiting down the road for each one of the youthful graduates of the remarkable class of 1946 of the School of Marion. I hastily bid her to come into the library where, the atmosphere would be appropriate. She stood in the center of the room, waved her arms about her head and quickly went into a trance. She spoke in a low monotone, which at Hrst was barely audible, and I strained to pick up her unintelllgible rattlings. First and foremost, Lloyd Amato is to be President of the United States for a short while due to a untimely assassina- tion. Miss Dorothy Strother will become the manager of one of Bill Liptrot's chewing gum factories.

' Mitchell Williams is to win renown in the Held of engineer- ing. Tony Blatnik will become an architect and will design for Bert Osborne a new tabernacle, which will be the eighth won- der of the world. Miss Rosemary Premoshis, who always wanted to be a doc- tor, finally gets her wish. She is a full-fledged veterinarian. Ray Belczyk, in pursuing his love for Chemistry, made the eadlines recently with his new Proton Theory. Bill Matthews is a big oil magnate in Texas where he wows he women with those smooth convertibles he drives. Miss Vera Hall, because of her artistic tendencies, is des- ined to become a famous cover girl Cpainting and designing hem of coursel. Phyllis Hamer is the advertising head of the plant that is roducing a new vitamin that adds height to short people. Who will be hitting most of the headlines in the political candals in the future? Max,' Croushore, as the leader of he Communist Party and Farmers' Cooperative in America. Jesse Mast is the president of the Movers' Association along e eastern seaboard. Duke,' Nagy takes over Sidney Greenstreetfs role as Hol- 'wood's Fatman. The Follies are popular because of the new blood that has en injected this season. They feature such standouts as Misher, Casteel, Landman, Pickstone, Cathers and Becken. The-ir dances are directed by that standout showman, Lou Dom- yanlch.

Well, who would believe it? Anne Glister flirting with a Ru- maman diplomat in a restaurant and within six weeks time was married to him. She was always the lucky type. I Francy Malinosky is the news hound who has been scoop- ing Von Wiegand, the famous columnist. He found a way to stop that. He married her. How old is he, Francy?
