High School Journalists from all over the state gathered three hundred strong for the Convention . Delegates from eighty schools were pres- ent. Sullivan High School was represented by the Editor-in-Chief and Business Manager of this year's Retrospect. An extensive program was carried out, featured by an inspection tour through the Publishing Plant of the Daily Illini, the Convention picture, printed on the following day in the Daily Illini, and a trip to the Illinois Memorial Stadium. The Retrospect holds an active membership in the association and is one of the progressive publications which have sought improvement through the attendance of delegates at the Conventions. Several tricks of the trade were learned at this meeting and many ideas gained which influence to some extent the quality and make-up of this book. -Lester Barnes.

Conspicuous among the varied contents was a Diary which I had kept some years before while teaching. As I looked casually through it, my glance focused upon a number of entries, which recalled pleasant memories of my high school days and former classmates. My interest was thoroughly aroused and, brushing the dust from the cover. I glanced eagerly at the first page. July 1. 1935: When I entered the Public Library this evening there sat Miss Ferne Garrett in the chair Miss Jennings has occupied so long. Ferne is a graduate librarian, and is Well fitted for the posi- tion. July 4, 1935: Fourth of July. Huge celebration. Sullivan out did itself today. Speeches by our most distinguished citizens. Mayor Otis Davis gave a brilliant and flowery oration on The Declaration of In- dependence-Its Use and Abuse.

Oct. 30, 1935: Went to the Opal Andres beauty parlor to get my hair shampooed today. Miss Vera Freeman is hairdresser. Nov. 8, 1935: Took my hat to the milliner's to have it retrimmed. Had needed it badly for some Weeks. The Misses Bertha Appelt and Mildred Kuster have charge of the shop now and Miss Zelma Crist superintends the trimming department. Nov. 15, 1935: For some reason my car refused to run this morn- ing. I tinkered with it for about an hour, but could find nothing Wrong. Called Cole Brother's garage and had them fix it. They brought it back in an hour. How's that for snappy service? Nov. 24, 1935: Saw Mildred Powell today for the first time in years. Said she has to stay home so much with her parents that she
