. I Haydn: 26-The sophomore class wouldn't let the freshmen out-do them so they had a party in the gym tonight. 28-The junior class had a skating party in the Parker City Hall. I'm afraid I couldn't stand up on those funny little wheels so I'm thanl-:ml I'm not a junior. They said that they rmde all the juniors put on a pair--even the sponsors, Miss Frederickson and Coach Jilka skated. 30-Tomorrow night is Hal lowecn so I guess we'll have to round up a bunch and do our knocking on doors tonight because tomorrow is Sunday. NOVEMBER 1-Nothing much doing. Had one unexpected quiz today. I probably flunked it be- cause I didn't have my lesson very well. 4-Floods! Both wet and dry-rain and assignments, respectively. Louisburg came down to play football today. It looks as if our boys can play better in mud and water up to their knees. We won by a score of 7 to O. 5-We get a long looked forward to vacation-teacher's meeting. 8-Lost nv fountain pen so I nude my first announcement in assembly today. Never knew there were so many people in that auditorium until I turned around and faced them. That was a critical time to discover it, too. Wish I had thought about it ba- fore. 10-Several of my friends have the flu. I hope I don't take it. I live and breathe and have my being in musterole and listerine these days. 12-The boys went to Mound City only to be beaten by a score of 26 to O. If I were- n't such a faithful han, I'd never go out again to see them beat. It nearly tears my poor heart in two. 15-I'm taking the flu! Oh my back and my bones and my head! That's what I call tough luck with tomorrow being the last football game of the season. Guess I won't get to see it. 17-Flu, aspirin, musterole-and the rest. Wish Thanksgiving were over because I haven't anything to be thankful for now. 18-The Public Speaking class had a tea so they could put into practice their art of conversation. I think they invited a few of the students in to tea. Too bad I was- n't at school. I always did like tea. 19-I've been in bed all day. But things are looking up because it snowed and they postponed the game. Maybe I'll get to see it after all. 23-The F. F. A. organization sponsored a Pie and Box Supper tonight but because of my fluey past , I'm.stay:lng in and writing letters. ' V 24-Not much doing today. I heard that school would be dismissed early on account 'of tomorrow being Thanksgiving. I hope I don't eat too much turkey. l 50-Today was our last game. Kincaid came and we beat them by a score of 7 'to O. I went to the game and did as much yelling as anyone. I guess we must be pretty good, but I can't get any sense out of the game. Theghjust run up end down the field with the ball and then fall all over each other. ybe I'll learn by the time I'm a senior. DECEMBER 2-Music amateur program tonight. Too bad I still have such a cold. If I hadn't I'd have gotten a prize beck-use I can sing lots better than the girl that get a prize 5-The Girl Reserves had a panty for the football boys tonight. We surely had a lot of fun. We played games and then refreshments were served. I guess the boys and Coach Jilka deserved that much, anywayg we only lost 3 games. 8-The junior class sponsored a orrnival in the high school gym tonight. I took my penny bank down to the bla cksmith shop and had it opened so 1 could take in every- thing. 10-Our first basketball game and we won. We beat Merwin by a score of Let's keep up the good work boys. 15-Saw the la , Scarecrow Creeps, given b the Oral En lish class. The play was P 5' Y S good and it surely made me creep all the way home. I was so scared that I couldn't walk. 17-Basketball game with llound City here. We won by a score of 18 to 16. I really like basketball games, and we have a good team this year. How do I know? I didn't have to be told. We girls used to play basketball in grade school so I know some- thing about the game. 18-Tonight the senior class sponsored the picture show Pig-Skin Parade. They had free bus service so they had a large crowd. I wish they'd have them more often. I surely like picture shows. 21-The boys went to Prescott to play basketball tonight. The pocketbook is getting rather flat so I didn't go. They came back and told me about it. Tie won 26 to 25. 23-The sophomore class sponsored an assembly program this afternoon. Santa was there and gave us our gifts and then we were dismissed for vacation. 28 to 9. JANUARY 3-Back to classes. Excitement is about as scarce as snow flakes in July. Coach Jilka didn't get back from his vacation. Guess he must have had too much Christmas spirit. 4.-More of nothing--except final preparation which is worse than nothing. disagree 50 lf'-hz Jurl TFT 72 L-irc fa dlasslff al Lx ' X lu ffffx f 522: 99 NI-s 'part 0 rl , M 4- nf r 4 -'Q x JK H 5 ' IL-.I . e---1 MII X L 1 Xi U Y I-, fi Z L. 1- '- , l. lv . xx... - ' M! -1 Q X I xi Jownefs first 165.5071 'L MN! --1 ' fx! pnqn f?!!'f!.!' 71. ,lllqln Hf'fIf1fV'f n 7 i .
