Ran around halls all day trying to remember names and schedules-and forget sophomores. Sept. 10 Met my four 'ilittle sisters surrounded by a crowd of admiring senior boys. Forgot to see them between classes-spent all 8th period hunt- ing UD for them. Sept. 14 Went to Shaker Council meeting to hear grumbles against driving law. Next month to decide-rumble seat or park bench. Sept. 16 Cienonks served at P.-T. A. tea. Few mishaps as we all tried to catch a glimpse of new superintendent. CMy, but he's handsomely Sept. 17 Budget sale hit its goal-600. Bus Thrailkill can start saving his jokes again for next semesters campaign.

QPoor Bill Brewer got hurt-I think it's his ankle.j Oct. 6 Honor Court held first session-wonder who got pinched and whether Judge Dill's sense of beauty interfered with justice. Oct. 8 All interested in Miss Jackson's and Mr. Morris's first date. Wonder if they talked English? Oct. 9 Blew away my voice during Shore game. We won, 20-7, but the last three minutes were hotter than a Parker-Ahlman clinch. First Congres- sional hop went over big-Red Frederick's swingers swung. Oct. 13 Woe is me!

MIss H. JEAN ANDERSON, MR. ALVIN AMES, MRS. MATILDA BISHOP, MISS RUTH BLAIR, MR. ALFRED BOSCH, MISS ALMA BOWEN, MRS. EDITH CAROTHERS, MISS CRYSTAL CARRUTHERS, DR. M. EVELYN DILLEY, MISS MABEL ELY, MR WAYNE FRENCH, MISS KATHRYN GEIGER, MR. JAMES GORDON, MISS GRACE GRAHAM, MRS. DOROTHY R. GUNN, MR CHARLES HANES, MRS. ANN HARBOURT. MR, GUY F. HENRY, MISS LOUISE HOLLON, MISS MARJORIE JACKSON, MR CRIFFITH JONES, MISS HELENE LAITEM, DR. LOOMIS, Superintendent, MRS. DOROTHY LOMMEN, MRS. DOROTHEA MARLOW, MISS LOUISE MCCRACKEN, MISS DOROTHY MILLER, MR. MELVIN MILLER, MR. T. RAYMOND MORRIS, MR HOWARD MORITZ, DR. EVERETT MYERS, MR. ARTHUR NEWMAN, MISS AGNES PALMER, MR. O. T. PARK, MR. R B PATIN, Principal, MRS. RUTH SACHA, MISS PAULINE SELLERS, MRS. EVA MAE SMITH, MR. HAROLD STORMS, MISS ELIZABETH SUPLER, MR. L. R. THRAILKILL, MR. PATRICK TROYAN, MISS GALE WICKWIRE, MR. WINSTON WYCKOFF FACULTY You may be surprised, you may be amused, but buhlieve it or not hear ye, hear ye-we have cross-examined the facultyl . . .We found out that Miss Dilley is afraid of policemen! And her favorite, when it comes to movies, is Shirley Temple. Mr. Troyan confesses a weak- ness for sticking pins in doorbells, and picks Blondie and hubby Dagwood as his favorite comic strip. Then we have Coach Wyckoff, whose favorite pastime is gardening, and who goes for candy and Little Orphan Annie. Mrs, Sacha chooses Elmer in the Sunday papers as her favorite comic strip. Doc Myers lists as his favorite pastimes flowers, fishing, and ladies-in just that order. As for Miss Laitem, she admits that absence is the trait she most admires in a student. Her favorite foods are spinach, ginger-ale, and horse-radish, and her pet aversion is- petting. Mr. French, however, tells us that his pet annoyance is having girls put on lipstick in his class. A great favorite as dean of the Senior boys, he likes Alley Oop, Wallace1Beery, and giving parties. We discovered, too, that Mr. Morris was the author of a fan letter to Katharine Hepburn. Miss Jackson insists that Robert Taylor does not make her heart beat double-quick time: she does like Greta Garbo, and one of her rarely-indulged-in pet extravagances is to take in three movies in one week-end. Mr. Thrailkill, when asked his favorite movie actor, replied, Tarzan-he is the embodiment of a sub-conscious desire! He informed us that Bringing Up Father has given him great comfort. lt was this same gentleman, who, while visiting one of the Warrensville institutions with the Sociology classes, was at the end of the line when an in- mate asked, MyI Do all those children belong to him?'l3 however, he is always at the head of the line when he lets his fourth period class go to lunch early, We found out other things, too. For instance, we learned of the christening party held by Miss Ely and some of the other teachers for their new Plymouth. And we did discover this one important fact, this one bombshell. They're all very human, they all do crazy things, and, above all, they're good sports, every last one of them.
