The school was a live wire on this day, for it was the day the student council representatives were chosen. Voting day! No, not for president of the United States, but for our class officers, who take upon their should- ers the task of leading the class. Big day for the Juniors-Mrs. Ditmars, too-for the senior rings were ordered. Being iuniors last year we can sym- pathize with you, Mrs. Ditmars. This is a memorable day for the Ag boys, for they had a fair-and it was a success! l went to the animal fair, the birds and the bees were there. . . We filled Red Cross boxes for children in countries ravaged by war. Teachers' Conference. Wonder what they confer about- Hi, ho, come to the fair . . . Tru- mansburg fair. To be or not to be, that is the ques- tion. That is right-Shakespeare, but are this is the day the characters chosen for the senior play. Was that Shakespeare turning over in his grave? Welcome back, Richard-crutches and alll-Richard Jennings returned to school after an absence due to an accident on the football field. Being wounded in action entitles him to the Purple Heart.

We were acquaint- ed with this land at an assembly given by a lady who had spent a good deal of her time there. Abravcadabra, abra cadabra-what happened! What came out of the hat? Look! haw did that happen? What is he going to do next, were cries uttered by a spellbound audi- ence when a magician visited school. Beware, take care or you will be cast under a spell by the witches, for to- night is Hallowe'en Eve. The hall's jumping, the hepcats are in the groove, the band's solid-well reet! Give me some skin, my friend, and let's get on with the dance. ln case you are curious, this refers to the Hallowe'en dance given by the Juniors. Football game at Trumansburg. Movie on History of Aviation. Not one boy fell asleep. Well, girlsf?l Movie-March of Time. Miss Mannix and troop marched, over to Hadley Hall, in Willard, to practice for the play.

The first presentation of the senior play. Be calm, Miss Mannix. Miss Mannix more confident. The second night of the senior play. First night a success. Whew! the last night of the senior play. The tension that hangs over Miss Mannix and the senior class has nearly diminished. The play over- a success. The iubilant seniors cele- brate. Music festival: Romulus, Interlaken, and Ovid. Happy day! School's closed! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow . . . No school. Need more be said- Sampson students on vacation, no bus. Some people get all the luck-
