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 —

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 —

May 24, 1914 — Saw a dream tonight called Midsummer Nights. Justin was about to spear Bill Smith and Bill looked like he wanted to do the same. I stood up — but only a jiffy. Some smarty yelled sit down so I did. But Donna Mills did make a pretty fairy. She sure can sing. The girls were reg- ular picture book girls. But I liked the dog best of all. June 3, 1914 — Eleanor Pearce is going to be a missionary the kids say. She’s getting her practice over to the Baptist church. June 6, 1914 — There isn’t any Wurtz’s Dictionary after all. The kids just say that to Burmah because she is so good at explaining their problems to ’em. June 8, 1914 — No more candy to be bought at Declair’s store by high schoolers. Glad I ain’t one. Guess Mary and Grace will have to eat their breakfast before they go to school now. June 9, 1914 — I see Lois Miles watching the post office like she tho’t some one would run off with it. Asked her what she was waitin’ for one night and she said ‘‘Mercy, but you are sassy — take after your brother, don’t you?” June 1 2, 1914 — Everybody’s wishiiv they wuz seniors. Now I know why. They don’t have any more school ’till time for diplomas. Don’t understand what they are but some day I’ll know — if I git my grammar lessons. June 15, 1914 — Can’t write any more. This is my last page and now the kids have quit school they won ' t be giving me their old note books. They are good books to write in and I like to write. Guess I’ll save this ’till I’m real old and get to be a senior. —CARL BAUMAN. JACK AND JILL NURSERY RHYME Jack accompanied by Jill ascended a high elevation of land. To procure an open vessel of wood with a handle, full of colorless, inodorous, transparent fluid. Jack precipitated himself from an erect posture and frac- tured his cranium, and Jill descended violently after. — 11 —
