November 3, 1912 — Justin most missed his supper tonight and pa asked him where he’d been. Writin’ an algebry exam, he said. I should think Mr. Keen might have had a little re- freshments for ’em. October 11, 1912 — Gladys G. was 16 today, but can’t ap- ply the rest of the verse this time — cuz, Oh ! no it wasn’t Art, or Hill or Justin tho’ I bet they’re sorry’ they’re so slow. But some one did smart senior Chet said. I told him he was jealous. Guess I hit it right that time. November 1912 — Chet had a nice girl in the buggy this morning. She’s got pretty brown eyes. Justin said he guess- ed it must have been Ethel Douglass. January 3, 1913 — Dandy day for rabbits. Justin went but I didn’t. January 4, 1913 — Glad I couldn’t go with Justin. He had to do all the hard algebry problems next day. Guess Mr. Keen is next to him all right. January 8, 1913 — Bill and Jud ain’t a speakin’ to Art any more. He was the only one that got asked to the senior sleighride. Guess it does pay to be nice to the girls. Hebruary 7, 1913 — Regular July 4th in chemistry today so the kids said. Bill was scared terrible. He dropped some- thing that he ought to have hung on to. He even turned white. Must have been awful! March 25 — Mv but I’m sleepy, but I enjoyed the party trom the fire escape. It was great. The seniors entertained the junior bunch. Somebody played the piano, and the rest danced. Why do they have music and dancin’ at the same time? I must find out. Ice cream was the best ever. May 10 — The seniors entertained Justin’s class — in the kindergarten . Good place for them all right. Me and Jim was there of course. Judging by the looks, the party was a lawn affair, so many walkin’ ’round between times. May 26 — Best time ever at high school. We didn’t sell tickets for this show, ’cause they didn’t give any free ones. Justin was sheriff and arrested the villain. They had supper on the stage too, but no handout’s this time. The girls wuz mighty pretty too. Can’t blame Art for likin’ ’em. June 5 — The juniors had a banquet tonight. That is what they called it banquet. Swell feed I’d say. They made a heap — 9 —

ting- ready ' for blasted examinations, and the face he made was a sight. June 20, 1911 — The big fellers got their report cards to- day. So did I, but I didn’t say nothing ’bout it. They show- ed theirs all ’round. September 5, 1911 — Bill, Art, Justin and me all started school again. Awful hot. Too hot for some of ’em. Got a new teacher at high school and the boys say she is a dandy. Her name is Miss Woodward. Then there is another and her name is Miss Ransom. She’s some teacher the fellers said. Wish’t I’d get a new one. But maybe I’ll pass next year, if I’m more careful ’bout my grammar. Sept. 20, 1911 — Eo sibi mimis dubitationis 1 What that means I must find out. It ain’t in Webster’s dictionary. I looked. Must be a secret for Bill sort of talks it to himself all the time. Nov. 29, 1911 — A class party was up to Bill Smith’s to- night and I went up to see the fun. I’m sleepy but I’d better write down what happened so when I git to H. S. we can play games like that. They called it Letter Fly, and every now and then some one would soak a wet towel at the one that was blindfolded. April 6 — Jim and me are selling tickets for the Dec- lamatory Contest. Don’t know what it is but I’m hoping we sell enough to git in free. April 12 — Jim and me sold our tickets and went. It was fun. Speakin’ was great. After that each class got up and yelled. Never heard Justin yell so loud before, except when pa used the strap on him. Can’t yell like that in our room. But those high schoolers do have the priviledges. Gladys G. and Mary got first and second places. That’s an honor so they say. Must look that up tomorrow. May 4 — The Botany class is a pressin’ flowers till there stiff and then stickin’ ’em in a book. Awful job so they say. But Bill says it can’t come up to translatin’ Caesar. Wonder what kind of a performance that is. Guess I’ll take Botany coz you git out to walk sometimes. July 16 — Nothing to do but chop wood and play. B’lieve I’d ruther go to school. September 9, 1912 — We all went to school together. Guess I’d better look to my grammar cuz I got a new teacher. — 8 —

X of money at their show and didn’t know how to spend their money. Twas a good way, all right. September 2, 1913 — I saw Miss Buck, the new German teacher today. Say, but she has got pretty dimples. November 3, 1913 — Justin got a swell ring today, so did the rest of the big fellows. It sure is noticeable. Nocember 26, 1913 — That high school is starting to pub- lish a newspaper and it beats the County Press all holler. Grace Buggee is the head push of it. She must be up on grammar in order to git that out. I’m going to buy one next time. November 28, 1913 — Don’t kno what to think about that game of football. Our boys played Algonac today. Tubby Lively knocked down a half dozen once he got started. Guess he don’t mind the bumps. Cork Wonsey threw the ball a long ways and out of the cloud of dust came Chet Robertson, grabbed the ball and touched it clear the field. The score was 13-12 and the fellows were so proud of Chet. December 3, 1913 — Miss Tallmadge had a feed for that class tonight. Games were heaps of fun and we couldn ' t see in very well but the piano playing was great and so was the singing. February 21, 1914 — Sleighride out to Chet’s for that bunch again. The ride wasn’t in it with the supper so the fellows said. March 7, 1914 — Just for once I’d like to be on the inside lookin’ out. Tires my neck to see in the windows always but I do hate to miss the fun. ’Twas at Greenings this time and the party was Mrs Greening’s and Miss Woodward’s. April 13, 1914 — Never knew girls was such walkers. Lena Vories came to school in 15 minutes this morning. Guess that’s a going some. She’s most as good at it as Chas. Wes- ton and pa says he is the greatest pedestrian a goin’. May 3, 1914 — Gladys and Ray W. passed me today. The long and short of it all — they never noticed me. May 7, 1914 — Justin has a name now — English Class Nui- sance. Good for him. He got his seat changed and a scolding besides. Good for him. May 13, 1914 — Our high school baseball team is doing things to Algonac and Marine City. Chet is captain so he can boss them ’round. — 10 —
