A Bit of Plagiarism From Our STUDENTS' DIQRIES SEPTEMBER, 1936 A great personality was added to our school faculty this year, someone that we will probably never forget, it's the new band director-Mr. William Stewart. OCTOBER 1, 1937 Something to look forward to, some- thing a great many of us were worried about, yes, it was announced today that the school would aid graduates seek- ing positions. NOVEMBER 19, 1939 Tonight we attended the first Vesper Service which was given at the Campus Auditorium. The program was awfully interesting with hymns, community singing, and band selections. MAY 12, 1937 Today marked a great day in the history of our band, for today it com- peted with other Michigan high school bands at the Tulip Festival in Holland. It was great excitement when they won superior rating, second division. And were we proud of them! FEBRUARY 4, 1938 This semester five new practical courses were offered to us. Included were: Consumers Science, Consumers Economics, Problems III, American Literature, and Office Practice. When we graduate, we might know something. MARCH 4, 1938 Today we followed the debate team to Kalamazoo. Of course we had no doubts in our minds as to who would come home with the honors. And as we had predicted, we won. Miss Hes- ling, our debate coach, also did a bit of vanquishing, and it was the debate coach of the opposition. For she came back to Muskegon as Mrs. Charles Hampton. MARCH 18, 1938 We had a big day today, diary. We tried out our new ping pong tables that the Student Council bought, some pretty good players were discovered, too. MARCH 30, 1938 Yesterday was an exciting one. It seemed that everyone was at the mass 111eeting at Hackley Park. It was only Hb0llI bums' day but caused quite a row. Approximately two-thirds of our student body was there. And then today, almost everyone celebrated the privilege of tl1is momentous occasion by wearing Sunday Best, corsages, and carrying canes. Thus bums' day was transformed into Ushieks' day. Even the faculty members participated. MAY 19, 1938 The band won more honors, this time, higher superior rating, first divi- sion, at Holland. JUNE 4, 1938 The ideal of 111any students was finally realized by tl1e offering of out- door summer courses to the summer school students. It should prove to be fun. sEP'1'EMB1s1t 16, 1938 Today we had a record sale of activ- ity tickets far surpassing those of previous years. Maybe we still have a little school spirit left. Nov1LMBER 4, I938 Our colleague, Maurice Lee, was llillllffd to head the new Camera Club. Hope we get some new candid shots 11ow. MEMOS-1938 Mr. Young organized the Town Meeti11g Discussion group this year. Before and after each air program of the same name, the club discusses the same topic taken up. Fred McMahon was probably one of the most active members of the club from our class. Mr. Gilsdorf did some pretty good work with his dancing school. He had some good helpers in Mearl Peterson, Maurice Lee, and Katherine Bourdon. 21
