'THE GATHERER 15 APRIL 15, 1938-Say-Guess what-We've got to be in a Recital, or at least a chosen number has to. It's going to be held the last of May. Oh! oh! MAY 27-Well, it's come and gone. Marion Torrey carried ofi' lirst prizeg Leroy Eaton, secondg and Dora Goodwin and Gladys Armstrong, hon- orable mentions. The sighs you hear are of relief. JUNE 9--Graduation night. It means a new life for the graduating Senior class and another change for us. We're Juniors! It's been a swell yearg but just the same, the thought of the coming vacation isn't too bad! SEPTEMBER 11-We're juniors! We're getting nearer to the back of the room all the time. We've lost Donald Knowlton and Roger Hardy, but we have Walter Hutchinson with us this year. I know we're going to have a pleasant year. The old school looks good, even though it was hard to give up vacation. DECEMBER 14-Christmas vacations in the offing. Had a Christmas tree and entertainment at school. Lots of fun and merrymaking. MARCH .6, l939-Town meeting play. Showed plenty of acting talent in the Junior class. We're doing line! JUNE 10-Well, it hardly seems possible, but nevertheless, it's true. School is over for this year. At last we're Seniors! Happy vacation! SIEPTIEIVIBER ll, 1939-Back to school in this, our fourth and last year at McKinley High. At last we've got seats in the back of the room. But that isn't saying we'll keep them. We've had warnings already. There are nineteen of us this year. Elsie Barter and Shirley Eaton have joined us. A NOVEMBER 30-Thanksgiving play, Listen to Leon . A great success with good returns. This has been a term filled with plans for our school paper and our class rings, etc. There have also been some changes. Uur principalj Walker Pickering has resigned after eight years in McKinley High School. It was hard to realize that he would no longer be with usg but his position was very ably filled by assistant, Carl Pickering. Arthur Cole, became our mathematics, history and science teacher. 7 FEBRUARY 1, 1940-Dear Diary-It's a very undecided matter as to what we shall write tonight. There's so much ahead of us. In about four months we will say goodbye to McKinley High. Who knows what's in store for us after that? J It depends on ourselves. We'll be on our own. We feel assured that with four years of McKinley High School behind us. we will be prepared to start our new life. Good night, diary. Wish us luck!
