March 1, 1943 Dear Diary: We have recently added a new word to our vocabulary. Some say rationing and some say rationing: but in any man's language it means: We got it but you ain't gonna git it. On the other hand, a certain three-letter word has be- come practically obsolete. Hint: It begins with m and terminates with en . June 12, 1943 Dear Diary: Yesterday we had our Class Day Assembly, at which six boys and seven girls were tapped for Senior Council. David Bannatyne and Bob Schulz were elected President and Vice-Presi- dent respectively. Last night our class gave the traditional Junior Prom for the seniors. The pleasure driving ban and the gas shortage failed to hinder the more ingenious members of the student body and illustrious faculty, who arrived in various and sundry contrivances, ranging from bicycles to haywagons. September 9, 1943 Dear Diary: Under the jurisdiction of our new oflicers- Ed Dietrich, Ed Chervansky, Fannie Rose, and Ann McGarry--we begin our fourth and final, Qwe hopej, year at F. H. S.: it hardly seems pos- sible that we have changed so radically in three short years from naive CPD freshmen to what we are today, Ccensoredj. February 21, 1944 Dear Diary: Tonight the Senior Class sponsored a Foot- ball Hop in honor of our undefeated Class A Champ Football team. Socially, it was a big success: financially, it was one of those things one discusses in hushed tones. Net profitfone dollar! May 31, 1944 Dear Diary: For the past year our class has been dwindling steadily until now the ratio of the sexes is ap- proximately three to one. It seems that Uncle Sam has greater need of the youth of the nation than the female element has. Or are we under- estimating the female element? June 14, 1944 Dear Diary: Today is the last of many days which we have spent at Roger Ludlowe. On the whole, they have been happy, thanks to our patient and understanding faculty. We thank Mr. Swaflield for enduring us so long without reacting too violently. We thank Mr. Whittaker for assum- ing the role of Mr. Anthony these four tedious years, and last, but certainly not least, we thank Mr. McGuire and Mr. Rosenthal for their ready wit and its application in the classroom. Tonight we shall graduate, feeling the loss of the twenty-two boys in our class who sacrificed high school to enter some branch of the armed forces: William Boyle, Lennart Fortell, Milton Gould, Joseph Matuskowitz, Fred Meeker, Robert Nielson, Joseph Smith, Thomas Sweeney, john Swindon, Marcel Traczyk, Harold Yo- vanovitch, Donald Gleacher, Henry Kniese, John Royak, Frank Ruskay, Jr., Joseph Skultety, Edward Walshe, Jr., George Mahoney, Frank Leavy, Douglas Conklin, and Francis Hustek. All too soon it's time to leave for graduation and time now to close the diary of the class of 1944. The above excerpts from the personal diary of the class of 1944 were compiled and slightly colored by Lois Ann Coburn, Ann McGarry, and Dean Albert.
