DIARY September 8 — Back with our noses to that old familiar grindstone. But even on this dark day, there is something to look forward to — only 177 more school days till liberation. September 9 — After the first days scramble for back seats in every class we look around and find, to our amazement, that the teachers are back again this year. Some new ones too. They look so innocent, so confident. No doubt they will lose this air after the first week. October 14 — Hi-Y initiation. Are they human? Do they breathe? (They wear ties.) October 23 — Report cards come out and vacation for Teacher ' s Convention com- mences. The latter was arranged very conveniently for those who need three days to break the news to fond parents. October 24 — Three budding journalists — Shirley Owen, Joanne Scott and Rose Mary Heritage — attend the Indiana High School Press Association Convention at Franklin College. Chaperonless at that! But all three came back none the worse when you take into consideration they got only one hour of sleep. October 25 — Eight songbirds attend the State Choral Festival at IndianapoKs. Seven return that night. One more on the first bus next morning. October 27 — Mr. E. C. Belzer talks at first convo. Now we know what electricity really is. Or isn ' t. November 7 — First basketball game!! We came out on top after an overtime .with Markleville, 41 to 37. Three juniors in hospital after first night of selling. November 11 — Armistice Day. Mr. John Dallavaux gave a few thought-provoking words. Score one for Miss Hallowell. He ' s against chewing too. November 21 — Weeee!! Hi-flying Irish defeat Lapel 53 to 41 in their own gym. (I use this last word loosely.) November 22 — Senior class party at Greenfield. No comment need be made. December 3 — David White was killed in an accident. The whole school extends its deepest sympathy to his family. December 22 — First snow. Much to the students ' disgust all the buses managed to arrive. December 23 — Dismissal for Christmas vacation. January 5, 1948 — Back to school. No one felt bad, though, because now there are only 99 more days. January 10 — Invitational Tourney. Our seconds get trophy while Middletown cops first team honors. January 22 and 23 — Exams. No serious casualties among the students, but nervous breakdowns suffered by two of the faculty. February 14 — Valentines Day. Mail service clogged. The question is WHO SENT THE COMIC VALENTINE TO JERRY RUTH? February 26 — Rousing pep session for the sectional. Alexandria was buried in fine style, both at the pep meeting and that night. But it was a tough game. The sectional was spotlighted by three overtimes, Pendleton participating in two of these. After a heartbreaker Saturday afternoon, though, Anderson left with another scalp on their belts. They went ahead to win the sectional by eliminating Markleville. March 1 — March comes in like a lion and with it comes the monsoons. Nothing like having those familiar April showers a month early. March 15 — Deadline for annual material. Electric power plant does a rushing business all night. March 19 — Operetta Rose of the Danube given. Wonder where they found the barrels ? March 25 and 26 — Spring, Easter, and Good Friday vacations all celebrated. March 29 — Back to school. Two sophomores absent after eating too many Easter eggs. April 9 — -Dramatic Club three one-act plays. We all wondered if certain char- acters would ever learn their parts or if they would appear that night with their play books. May 10 — Senior week committees are hard at work. No one seems to care what we do or where we go as long as it keeps us up all night. May 14 — Senior class play given. Now there is no question what our calling in life really is. May 15 — Junior-Senior prom. Every year they seem to get better. May 21 — Senior week starts. All seniors reinforced with a St. Bernard and plenty of sleep. May 23 — Baccalaureate. Nice, but sad. May 28— COMMENCEMENT.
