ETIQOSDEC A l ll lllllllllllll Excerpts from Senior Diaries FEBRUARY Zl, l928 fBlue Monday, I-IIS morning I arose, put on my clothes, which did seem numerous, gave the room a hurried sweep, then breathlessly awaited Miss I-lester's inspection. fshe slept late this morningl, I then rushed madly down to breakfast at the gong of a bell. Endured break- fast. Then to my room to gather my books. To school and to work. First class--- good, second class---fair, third class---English, still worse. Heavens be merciful. Dinner---off again. Cicero class---would to God Cicero hadn't been. Then to Home Economics---my duty to the school. Suffercd thru' the uncovering of my ignorance. Joy to all---the bell--- school out. Exercise O tragical ending of the day. Five o'clock---relief to the weary. Supper---Study hour. Finally lo bed. MARCH 9, RALLY DAY QGood Friday, Slept late fthanks to the bell ringer,. We did assemble in the hall where literary events were held. Philos walked off---Poor Athenians! fTheir intentions were good,. Without all afternoon watching athletic events. 'Twas said they did intend to play on the gridiron, but the whole while I was there I did not discover the grid iron, for which I do thank the Lord, because I do not like the feel of iron myself. Soon lost in the crowd, for there was a seething mob which did attend most heartily. Those silly youths did vex me to the end. They did gore each other in dreadful annoy and all did attempt to fall upon the unhappy one and did seem to rejoice in the downfall. At last over. Praise be for the lack of disjointings. Final report of points. Much cheering. To supper amidst an atmosphere of excitement, arguments, and what nots. Mr. Vandiver did consent to twenty minutes social. Thanks be to those who inspired him in that direction. Early to bed this day to rest our fatigued bones. SATURDAY fschool Day for the Dumb, Slept hard till eight o'clock and so to the office for private consultation with Sloan The interview was lengthy and I did sit harassed while the others marched on to town QO blissful place of enjoyment if good maids are n-ot seen talking to their Prince Charming,. The good superintendent well knows I meant little harm when I did refuse to respond to the clapping of bell no. l. I did turn over in bed in most peaceful slumber to enjoy my luxury when after the passing of some five minutes was gently aroused by the motherly touch of Madam In- spectress! Heavenly planets---the awakening was terrible---but result was well' instated in my happy forgettaries with IO hours---no privileges for only one week. Thence with heavy heart to dinner---Which I could not feed upon. Without to the tennis court where I cautiously con- versed with my sweetheart---but in vain, back to the dormitory I was swiftly sent by the chaperon KO Fate, guide her feet elsewhere hereafter,. Thus did close the most doleful day of my existence. MAY 21, l928 fclraduation Day, This May Day will well be remembered as the happiest day that hath been in this good shire of Sunflower for full many a year. Seniors, we do call ourselves, if Sloan hath not greatly detoured from intellectual standards. In the hall of learning we did assemble with greatly hacked countenances---and did patiently bear through with some several speakers. Next came a teacher of the holy scripture who burst forth into mighty words and delivered up a master sermon. Some listened, but woe to the unholy three who did recline in peaceful slumber. All formality over, we Seniors did leap from the stage---hands full of presents---heads lacking of ignorance and regretfully did dismiss ourselves from the dear institution. By the way---a fact which I came near to overlooking---we did receive our diplomas. , Q Z A rr'Nn 5 2 E 5 ' I ADA : , , L - f xl- W f' N I - 5 ? ' Qu N-NA' N f 'f'N fa Nfksxf x'5-K' QA -s' E-xN 'N'- f
