best one in the first place We had to stay late then to get the officers chose J M Harrell got to be president because we all liked him, Monte Goode got to be vice-president because he's the biggest, Doris McSparran was chosen for secretary because she's beautiful, and Mary Allen got reporter for some reason I don't know We wound up the meeting with class dues whoever heard of paying to be in a class? Dear Diary. September 26, 1942 Is life tough' hvery body picks on us all the time We don't get a bit of peace--someone's always yelling, 'For goodness sakes, sit up,' 'Pick up your clumsy feet,' nSay, 'lhank you' once in a while,' 'Look where you're goin',' 'Stick your shirt tail in ' bee' It sure is tough' Dear Diary May 13 1943 This has been ouite a year Mrs Kerr was our room mother, and guess what she did?
