S. It has been a year with just enough work to make us appreciate our leisure, ' just enough fun to mike us realize the value of work, and some sadness to make us strong--a year whose mem- ories will be a beautiful treasure. To help us keep this store of memories so that neither time nor distance can make us forget, the Commerce Club has faithfully attempted to record the most outstanding, interesting and pleasurable events of the year. May this book be your treasure chest of memories. fi 1 L-,f Q j 1 W I '7KQf X C5.,NNENx E Ig I N ,D gXQhf3? X 'XXQ-v,,,f x X ,f -f Xxx! kWf1h yxk Nr...- Evangelyn Brown .

He was a member of the Junior class and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He not only was an outstand- ing member of his class, but was known in all the surround- ing vicinity through his work in the church. He was a ' faithful and untiring worker in the Sunday School, church, and Epworth League, of which he was president. Through group meetings and social activities of the Learue, he was known and greatly loved and admired by ministers and Leaguers all over the District. He was a member of the paper staff during his two years in high school, and was a member of the hand. Robert was also president of the 4eH club and was greatly interested in the work of the club. We like to think in the words of the poet, that, UI cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead--he is just away, With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land.n IH MEMORIAM Houston Everett Burns, Jr. Born ------- April 12, 1925 Died November 9, 1939 Houston Burns was a student of the Thebes High School and was a member of the Junior class. He was an excellent student and was loved and admired by all who knew him. Houston belonged to organized this year, and He was of cheerful dispo give help in any way pos assistance. the F.F.A. Club, which was held the office of secretary. ition and was always willing to ible to anyone who needed his The Junior class greatly misses Houston and we all sincerely and deeply regret his passing. His death has left an empty place which cannot be filled. To that far distant land He has taken his way, Past the shadows of night There has dawned a new day. A DM W1 ST 3'QfX'FlON .W . df! . Cl!

I Homer Kerr One of the things that has helped to make this year so much of a success at Thebes High is the fine spirit of cooperation there has been between the Board of Education and the faculty. Throughout the year the 'Board has done every- thing in its power to improve the school. If new equip- ment was needed, they purchased it, if it was at all pos sible to do so, and they have supported and backed the teachers in all of their attempts to improve the school. We, the members of the staff, want to take this - opportunity to express our appreciation to the Board of Education and to the patrons of Districts 26 and 50 for the fine school that has been supplied for our benefit. For without their help neither the teachers nor the students could hope to maintain a school as fine as our OWU. 9 PA C U L I Y Stella King, Thebcs, Illinois Carbondale College Experience: 29 years First grade teacher Georgia Timmons, Olive Branch, Illinois Junior College Graduate, Carbondale Illinois 'Pestalozzi Froebel College, Primary Training, University of Illinois Business College 1 Experience: 21 years Second grade teacher Bernice H.

S E N I O R H I S T O R Y HThanks for the memories of days not long we were green and slow, and algebra was our b when Worry 0 ago ggest Remember the afternoon we elected our officers. We scarcely knew what to do. Finall we decided on Mr. Lawless as our sponsor, Franklin ghaver, presidentg Gilbert Myers, vice-presidentg and Thelma Adams as secretary. That year our one and only outside activity was going to Rock Springs for a picnic. But we did have fun, and no harm done. In the fall of 1937 we asain entered this hall of learning. uElecu McIntyre entered our class and gave us some honor by being a star basketball player. Freota B illingsly entere the same year, and en ered the band. Mrs. Sullivan was our sponsor, Lester McIntyre, presidentg Robert Foster, vice-president, and sad to relate we canft remember our secretary. We had a rip-roaring time on a pinnic at Horse Shoe Lake, took part in more activities, and spent most of our time singing HJoseph1ne.H Our Junior year was very full of activities. The Junior play HThe Dutch Detectiven was a success. We didn't make the grade for d prom, but everyone enjoyed our pirate banguet. We went to Murphysporo for our pic- nic, where we went swimming, skating, and saw Jane W thers in nBoy Friendn. We had so much Hsody-popn left that the boys threw it at each other. The people at the next table looked rather aghast at us. We had two dollars left in the treasury at the end of the year, but it wasn't our fault. Our sponsor was Mr. Heapeg president, Genevia Gues and secretary, Robert Foster. James Mathis entered our class and helped us in our play and music. We spent more time at HBert'sd than we did studying. In this last year we have discovered how much fun school can be. The lower classmon are rather shocked at our amazing lack of dignity. We have officers clubs, three memb rs on the basketball team, s in all six --.-p eV1Jr, 1 members on the track and baseball team, in the band, opcretta, and concert.

The Juniors gave us a swellegfent banquet May 17. On the 24th of May we became Alumnus of dear old T. T. H. S at a banquet in our honor. We enjoyed ourselves both times and it didnft cost a cent--besides they were excuses for getting new suits and dresses. Twenty of us will march in solemn beauty down the halls of T. T. H. S., the last of May. Our motto is nScholarships and Courtships, not Battleshipsu. Our class flower ia the lilac and our colors, red and green. ' Altho we Seniors bragged a lot about our personalit- ies, high I.

In a little nook in a section of the big city of Fayville a lady of about twenty-five years is vorking in the garden. On the porch is a sign saying: MR. WAYNE JWFFRICS.

Mrs. Petitt was elected class advisor and the following officers were elected Sherman Smothers, President, John Matlock, Vice Presi dentg and Evangelyn Brown, Secretary and Treasurer. A picnic was enjoyed by all at the close of the fresh man year. In '58 we started back but not as green freshmen this time, we had changed to silly sophomores. Mrs. Sullivan was chosen as class advisor and the follow- ing officers were elected: Harry Smith, President: Robert Griggs, Vice Presidentg and Evangelyn Brown, Secretary and Treasurer. At the beginning of the year a hayride was given and the year was ended with a theater party and picnic. The enrollment had dropped considerably since the freshman year. In '59 we came back as Jolly Juniors and with the enrollment still more decreased. Mrs. Petitt was e- lected as class advisor and the following officers were elected: Evangelyn Brown, Presidentg Frank Dettenbach, Vice President, and Thaleta Davis, Secre- tary and Treasurer. The Junior Class was very sorry because they had lost one of their members by death the preceding summer. Robert Griggs had died just before the open- ing of school. Bobbie Calvert, George Jenkins, Lavada Johnson and Venus Dunn having left the class, we had an enrollment of only 26g then Houston Burns died leaving us with an enrollment of 25. The Junior Class was very proud of three of its members, Evangelyn Brown, Helen Crosier and Kendall Walker, who won the typing contest at Metropolis. Evangelyn Brown won first place as an individual. Winning at Metropolis entitles the team to enter the contest at Carbondale to compete in the sectional contest. The Junior Class motored to Cairo March l to see the show HGone With the Wind.H J U N I O-R 'P L A Y On Friday night November l7, 1939, the Junior Class presented one of the most thrilling and interesting plays in the history of the school. The characters were as follows: Mrs, John Rankin, typical mother ------ -------- Adein MOSS Jack Rankin young college boy ---------- Frank Dettenbach Glenda Rankin, serious type ----- ------ LRVHGG Johnson Sue Rankin, care-free type ----- - -------- Thaleta DaViS Ned Richman, college boy ---------- - --------- Edward Wilson Fay Kirby likeable young girl -------- ----- Helen CP0Si9P Gary Stark, reserved type -------- ------- C1etuS TiHS1SY Guy Haines, Eastern cousin ------------ Ladelle Berkbigler Betsy Haines, wife of Guy ------------------ Maxine Oberts Randall Haines, modern young man ----------- William Storm Frances Haines modern young-girl ------------- Venus Dunn UUnclen Zeb Tyler, moun aineer ------------ Kendall Walker UHis Ozark Cousinu portra ed the story of a wealthy family in the Ozarks that was Zhought to be Uhill-billV.U Since their relatives from the cit were coming to visit them, they decided they would be ugill-billy,H so they covered their nice furniture and dresses as country people. In the third act there was a Hhill-billyn wedd- ing, with Lavada Johnson and Cletus Tinsley as the pro- spective bride and groom. Although some one, who turned out to be the umother of those Rankin children,u objected Uncle Zeb did his best to Uhitchu the couple. Musical numbers between acts were furnished by George Jenkins, accompanied by Mrs. Sullivan, and Kendall Walker, accompanied by Evangelyn Brown.

S O P H O M O R E H I S T O R Y The sophomores entered Thebes High as green fresh- men in '58, I don't think there was ever a class enter- ed high school that was prouder than we were that first day. The class met selecting Mr. Ford as class advisor. The following officers were elected: James UPatU Patter- son, President, Vera McKee, Vice Presidentg James Mc- Intire, Secretary and Treasurer. The total number of the class was twenty eight until Nellie Thompson, and Virginia Bclheimer left school. A picnic at Rock Springs was en- joyed by the freshmen in early May to celebrate theirf farewell to the Freshman Class. September rolled around, and we started in as Silly Sophdmores. We met and elected Mrs. Sullivan as class advisorg Pat Patterson, Presidentg Charles Jefferies, Vice President, and Mildred Moore, Secretary and Treas. A new member had been added to the class, Mary Simpkins, A hayride was taken at the first of school. The old say- ing, UThe mole the merriern, was true because you never saw so many nor merrier sophomores before. We were sorry because two of our class quit school. Charles Hoover and Clyde Williams. We still have hOP9S of their returning next year because we surely do miss them. F R E S H M A N H I S T O R Y On the day of September 5, 1959, 44 Freshman stu- dents started their first year in high school. After a thorough initiation they were accepted as high school students. Mr. Heape, the agriculture teacher, was appointed class sponsor. The following class officers were elect ed. Eleanor Holliday..... .........President Gladys Guess.,..... ....Vioe-President Virginia Mae Hood..........................Secretary On the evening of Octcber 12, the class went on a picnic to Rock Springs. They had e good time eating weiners, marshmellows and playing games. At the pic- nic the teachers saw how peppy the Freshmen were and we received the title of Peppy Freshmen. Later in the year a Student Council was organized and Alva Snell was chosen to represent the Freshmen. We are holding our breath and hoping to become Sophomores next year.

Cletus nReekn Tinsley Junigr nReek'sH versatile playing made him a valuable man on both the first and second team. Next year we will hear we will hear more of Cletus. Kenneth HKenH Stamp Junigp Uhenu was an important factor in the second team's success. If Kenneth can develop a change of pace in his action he should be a valuable player next year. George Snell Junior George played center on the second team, and was a hard fighting, driving player. Henry UCossH Cossiboon Freshman HCossH was a rookie Freshman, but by the time he is a Senior he should rate second to none as a guard. ,,...,-,,,J.2 .

While teamwork stood out all the while, it is not amiss to say something of the individuals. nRedn Stamp, by scoring well over 200 points accounted for several victories. Eugene Norris was always willing to do his best. Wyatt Wilson tipped every center wit- whom he jumped. His height helped us under each basket. nNigU Storm was an excellent guard and a scoring threat as well. nCottonU Brown developed into a capable guard al- though he failed to score many points. Val Jean Hudgens, Stanley Gibson, HBobH Rolwinq, Harold Houseman, Johnny Smothcrs, and Eugene Stamp all saw service and helped I the team with their enthusiasm. By winning the District Tourney at Cairo with two two-point victories in overtime periods the 1940 edition of t e Thebes Juniors will me down in Thebes School history as a great team. We in high school are looking forward to welcome these boys as members of the HTiger quintetu.

The faculty selected the president from the Senior class, Genevia Guess being the one selected. Two members were selected by the Senior class-- Maisie Anne Creech and James Mathis. The Juniors were also allowed two members--Adein Moss and Helen Crosier. The Sophomores and Freshmen had one member each--Mildred Moore and Alva Snell, respectively. The Junior High was also represented by Deryl Halbin. At the first meeting of the Council Maisie Anne Creech was elected Vice President and Adein Moss, Secretary-Treasurer. During the year a Lost and Found Department was organized by the Council which has proved very suc- cessful. Some splendid work was done on the baseball diamond under the supervision of the Student Council. On February 7, accompanied by Mrs. Sullivan, the Council visited several of the outstanding schools in southern Illinois searching for ideas to improve our school. They were well pleased with what they saw and felt that the trip was very profitable. The Student Council has presented two programs be- fore the assembly this winter. These programs were planned and given entirely without the assistance of any teacher. ,QEBEEQ3 6595?

This yearls concert was held on Friday, April 19, in the gymnasium, with a large crowd in attendance. One attractive feature of the concert was a group of grade school boys and girls dressed as soldiers and dolls to act out the song HParade of the Wooden Soldiersn, sung by the Glee Club. Besides the band numbers there were various special numbers by members of the band. The concert ended with a stunt number called HThe Wedding of Heinie and Kathrinan. The concert was a great success and the proceeds will be used to buy new instruments.

The constable arrives to say that he has searched the Scroggs' home and found a dispatch con- taining Sue's effects, and among them is a deed to a town lot in Los Angeles, which proves of immense value.

Seven activity clubs were formed. Six boys failed to find a club in which they were interested. Mr. Wilkins, who did not sponsor a club in the beginning, decided to set up a club that would meet the needs of these boys. Thus, the UCITIZENSHIP CLUBU was formed to aid in guiding these boys in ' their school activities and later life activities so they may become better citizens. The boy's chief interest was athletics Several games of basket- M ball with various other clubs were arranged in which the boys learned how to accept defeat as well as victory. This gave them practical experience in true sportmanship. Mr. Wilkins is making glans to take these boys to St. Louis to see the Car inals play a major league baseball game, which none of the boys have had the privilege of seeing. The club in thelneginning was composed of Claude Houseman, Elvin Prater, Kenneth Stamp, Clyde Williams, Paul Musselman and James McIntyre. Since that time four new members have been added, namely: Henry Cossiboom, Charles Knight, Raymond Wilson and Floyd Houseman. One of the original members, Clyde Williams, dropped out of school, and the clib is now composed of nine members. Most of the club's activity periods were spent in discussing the boy's scholarship and behavior patterns. The years to come will determine whether the plub will have been of any value to these boys.

The curriculum of agriculture was set up to fill a needed gap in the educa- tional system. In the past, people thought anybody could farm even though they had no education, but this statement is no longer true. Today competition is becoming keener and for these reasons agricultural training is essential for the boys of high school age who will be farmers of tomorrow. The officers this year are: President--Wayne Jeffries, Vice President--Finley Caldwell, Secretary-- Stanley Snell, Treasurer--Sherman Smothers, Reporter-- UHogn Shaver, Farm Watch Dog--Billy Shields, During the school year the Future Farmers made sev- eral trips for educational purposes: the first was to the Swif Packing Company, nas St. Louis, and to the Pevely Dairy Company, St. Louis, the second was to the sectional grain, corn, and poultry show at Annag the third to the Farm and Home Week at Carbondale, the fourth to the sectional livestock judging contest at Benton, and the fifth to the Future Farmers of America activity day at Benton. 4-.J 4. . :lf Q L , X, 5 -C M Znkw, M I gggjga Q frm 1559 a s .-5555:-. . 3:1 . 1 h - 0 - dis Q CD true?

The officers are as follows: Adein Mons, President, Geraldine Swanner, Vice Presidentg Lavern Johnson, served as Secretary'and Treasurer the first semester and then turned tho office over to Mary Simpkins whc held it until the end of the year, The club met once every week. We had a program ' planned by the president, and sponsor for every meeting. We also had a question box into which questions were plac ed from week to week by any member who wished to ask one and it was answered each time the club met. The programs made the club much more interesting. The purpose of this club is to teach the girls to be better home-makers, have a better personality, be more courteous to everyone, and to cooperate with the members of the family, their school-mates and teachers, and to everyone they will meet in their social life. The Advanced Home Ec. girls, who were all members of the club, and Miss Stewart took several trips during the year. They visited the new Farmers' Cotton gin at Cairo and attended the cooking school for one demonstra- tion given at the Rodger's theatre in Cairo. They went to a packing house, flour mill, dairy, bakery, and a Coca Cola plant. The club was enjoyed and greatly appreciated by all its membera, QM v , x y fl?

Nearly all the members of the Commerce Club are on the staff of the paper and the yearbook. In October, the Club had a Hbumu party. The food was left at different houses, and a trail was marked for the members to follow. This was greatly enjoyed and the side which reached the park first after collecting their food, was allowed to rest while the losing side had to cook supper. During the school year the Club held three parties which were all great successes. Then in February, the Commerce Club gave a program in order to raise sufficient funds to enter the Com- mercial Contest. The program consisted of two one-act plays, several novelty numbers and various musical num- bers. The Club has made a study of personality during Club meetings and all the members feel that this time has been used to good advantage. They have also studied various occupations, ways of securing and holding a job, and the value of a good personality and attractive appearance in the business as well as the social world. In May the Club made a trip to Cape Girardeau, Mo. and visited several different industries there. This ' trip was made in connection with the study of vocations. COMMERCE CLUB-- .On Aprilliith three members of the first year typing class, Evangelyn Brown, Kendall Walker and Helen Crosier, 1 participated in the commercial contest at Metropolis, Il - imois. Others who entered were: Maisie Anne Creech, Freota Billingsly and Lester Mclntyre in shorthand, and Lester Uclntyre and Gilbert Myers in bookkeeping. The three members of the first year typing class won first place as a team and Evangelyn Brown won first as an indi- vidual. This gives both the team and Evangelyn, an an individual contestant, the right to enter the sectional contest at Carbondale. Winning of the sectional contest entitles the winner to go to Champaign to enter in the state contest. The members of the Commerce Club wish to thank all those who have subscribed for the HTheb1anN and all others who have helped in any way to make this publication a success. J!

Piss Brovm's group was named the Red feathers and Niss Steur.rt's group the White Feathers. The pur- pose of this was to encourage cooperation among the stu- dents bj giving points for scholastic activities and for high grades. A secretary was chosen to keep the points for each side. Then a captain and three lieutenants were chosen to assist in keeping competitive spirit in the stu dents. During the first semester the Hwhite Fsnchersu were in the lead during the entire stage of the race although they finally von by the narrow margin of 1588 to 1248. As a result of this the Red Fef:thers hid to give a party for the White Feathers, A committee vas appoint- ed and plans were made for the party. It was decided to have n Kid party and everyone who attended was to be dressed as small children. The date for the party was March 8. About G5 attended the party, both teachers and students. For the last semester the two sides were reorganized and thus different students competed against each other. There were not as many failing grades the last semester and the race semester had the close of was much closer. The losers for the last to give Q party for the winners just before school.

One of the most influencial of these is the Alumni Association. The first four-year class graduated from Thebes High School in 1915 and the Alumni Association was organized in 1916 with a membership of 5. Since that time the Association has bcen growing until there are now approxi- mately 150 members in this association. During the twenty-four years since its organization, the Alumni has always whole-heartcdly supported the school in its efforts to grow and improve. The officers for the year 1959-40 are: President---Louanna Shaver Vice Pres.n--Gerald Shaver Secretary K Treasurer---Edna Hiller A reunion of Alumni is held every year, and the graduating class Knew Alumnil are initiated into the Association. The Alumni banquet this year was held May 24th in the basement of the school house. UI? 050 ezmviybhfh 7711 D4-fs's Bosses U'fB f Chqfns He w5 M L 4 'F' -13? .

It sure was good to see all my class mates again. And was there a mob of Freshmen! Of course they didn't know what to do. I feel for them, but can't reach them even if I ' did feel the same way three years ago. I saw Mr. Wilkins. If all we've heard about him is true we' re really ngonna hafn to walk the chalk. Dear Diary: Some of the Freshmen quit today. What ambition. Derr Diary: Some more Frehsmen quit. I wonder if we'll have a 'Freshman class at all. It! a good looking class, There's several good looking boy's and if you, dear diary, are interested in the girl's they're not such bad looking articles either. Dear Diary: Boyt Was it hot in school today! ' I thought Ifd die in the S. H. the Sth period. v Dear Diary: We elected our class sponanr today. Only 5 teachers were willing to guide us Juniors and Seniors through the perils of high school. We chose Mr. Ramsey, the Juniors chose Mrs, Pettit, Sophomores-Mrs. Sullivan, and the Fresh- men-Mr. Heape. I bet thereis a majority of girls in the Freshman class. Dear Diary: Blue Monday--weather putrid. Dear Diaryz' We Seniors vere in charge of the assem- bly program. I hate to say it, but it was a terri- ble program. Nobody would sing even HBeer Burrell Polkau. I guess they'd heard it at the carnival too much. D. D. Temperature high. Who could think in this weather? D. D.: Junior's gave class program. Frank Dett- enbach gave a reading HComrades in memory of Robert Griggs. If he were here he could help our ' J THE 18 19 2b 21 22 25 25 27 28 29 YEAR 1959-40-- school so much. The entire program was better than ours. We picked our class rings today. Two of the nkidsn wanted different ones. G. T. W. gave us a talk on school spirit. D.D.: Sohpomores gave assembly program. nKidsH dicided to have Senior rings all alike. I'm glad. D.D.: Everyone seems sleepy today. I guess it's the effects of the carnival wearing off. I don't feel so ritzy myself. D.D.: The seniors are running everyone crazy prac- ticing for the German band. It won't last much longer though, because we play tonight. D.D.: I hope our German band was O.K. Do Germans drink beer while playing? We did. D.D.: The Freshman gave the assembly program today They seem to be'doing pretty well for they've got over 40 members, and plenty of Pop. They seem to have the right school spirit.

We had sweet potatoes and apples, coffee and weiners. Then we played London Bridge and Rotten TWT. Jenkins and Mr. Ramsey were the life of the party. Silly things!! We played Rin Tin Tin too--you should have seen Miss Stewart blush. - 1 D.D.: I think our teachers are pretty swell.. I wonder if I'm sprouting wings. We are divided into two groups and get points for grades and activities At the end of the Semester the losing side has to give a party. I'd hate to be Miss Stewart or Miss Brown--one of them is go ng to have to give it. . THE YEAR 1939-40-- October 2. D. D.: -Well as a wise man said uIn union there is strength, and the Freshmen today proved it. They get to keep the flag, but they had to go through the belt line. The flag looked a mess fafter the Home Ec. gils working sol, but they proudly hung it in the assembly. Wayne Jeffries, our president, made a good speech, about Mr. Heape's military train ing.

'D.: Ho hum: unlucky Friday iam and right y it is. It turned cold. B obby Clavert left for Salem High. 16. D. D.: Gee, am I tired. I need a ncoken to ease my fevered brain.

D.: Our Commercial Club program given last night was enjoyed by all, I think KI write that hesitat- inglyl. I heard a lot of compliments on the play nThe Ghost Walken that Miss Brown wrote all by her- ' self. Most of the teachers were out this afternoon for the funeral. The F. F. A. boys were in charge of the assembly. Mr. Petitt served popcorn balls- and sandwiches to her Latin Club today. Isn't she swell, though? I fear her burned finger will long be a reminder. D. D.: Everything was dull today, even to the assembly singing, except-that we got out of short- hand due to Miss Brown's illness. Course I feel ' sorry for her, but oh--that short hand. - D. D.: Miss Brown is still confined to her home. Today is cold and cloudy, but still one consolation --no short hand. A u . -, . D.

W. stated that the game between the Frosh and Sr. girls was the second most enthusiastic game of the year. , D. D.: The Student Council for the 2nd time appear- ed again on the weekly Friday morning program. If Mathis was half as good an example of the ideal pupil as he is on that trumpet--well 'er--. Tonight was the big night of the school year--the first, but we hope not last, all school party. Of all the dopey outfits. It might be some peonle's idea of a WkidH.' Everyone had a grand time, and Hr. Lowe was just too, too divine in that role he played--you know--HStick 'em up or I'll 'til you.U We had open-faced, chicken sandwiches, two kinds of cookies and fruit punch. ' How anyone could drink that punch after certain people sampling it on its removal to the gym I don't know. What you don't know doesn't hurt you I've heard. D. D.: Mrs. Petitt and Hr. Lowe led the parade of speeches to influence the students to buy the year- book. The entire assembly including teachers took a spelling test consisting of 16 words. They're always thinking up something to show up how little we know. Mr. Ramsey absent. 1HE YEAR 1959-40 D. D.: Miss Stewart and Mr. Heipe were the oraters this morning. Mr. Ramsey is still ill. D. D.: Mr. Ramsey has'nt shown his face yet. Wonder when they think the Srs. are going to start play practice. Mrs. Sullivan, Homer for should I say Mr.?j Kerr, and Edna Bagley made their sales talk this mroning. 'Looks like they would run out of-something to say pretty soon. Miss Brown, the sponsor of it, is waiting for the last word. D. D.: Very cold todayf Two students from each class gave their view s of the vorth of the year- book this morning. That honor list on the board is rapidly climbing. Fifty is the amount required. Hoorayl We'll get it okay. Miss Brown get the last word. I envy her. D. D.: Gosh! I hope that yearbook is well worth the effort put out on it. The Commercial Club's prograr this morning was yearbook--yearbook. It's stamped on my brain indefinitely. It is to be named uThebian.H A D. D.: The activity groups met in their separate places to caapaign and then followed by election. Those who don't make an E tho last semester will get to go on a hike. Wefre not forgottirg it either. D. D.: Mr. Wilkins is ill today. Wonder if the teach ers meeting the next two days has anything to do whth it. To think we get our freedom for two whole days plus Sat. and Sun. I guess the teachers will get to walk the chalk line for 2 days. I can't say that I pity them. Let them listen to a few lectures in- stead of handing them out. -- D. D.: Another deep snow today. The Home Ee. girls and Ag. boys traded classes today., I don't know the two teachers point of view but for the Ag. girls part they had rather be back under the faithful gardianship of Miss Stewart. One has to take the bitter with the sweet. A quartet of boys from West- ministcr College in MD. sang for us the first half of the seventh period. Mb. Wilkins sure does like his flock--letting us relax from thcse 'ole routine classes. ' ' I THE YEAR 1959-40 26. D. D.: Snow has melted and the boys are playing marbles.

I'll bet the-Red Feathers have to dive the next party too, Nklriqht, Red Feather, pipe down.H Wlf you don't have confidence in yourself no one else will.H APRIL 2. D. D.: The paper cane out yesterday. No activity meetings all this Week but band practice instgad. Irs. Sullivan is about to pull her hair out, e- cause she can't get her glee club together while Tr. Wilkins is aggravrted because he has no history class. Girls must hive more will power than boys for the Ag. girls sure were tempted by those muffins. On after thought--one doesn't care for ping pong. 5. D. D.: Fancy this if you can, Dear Diary--Hr. Heape didnft know who Madame Curie was. It is cooler to- day and snowing in nearby states. Is it ever going to be summer? 4. D. D.:' There was a 4-H rally tonight, but how Buddy C. and Bobby J. were able to get there one can't imagine. The fishing sure is swell until one gets caught himself by HPopd--huh, Buddy? 5. D. D.: The Udeahn boys postponed their program for another week. Humph! We girls got our pro- gram up in two days, and it wfsn't half bad. Of course, D. D., this comes from the criticism of a girl as you know, but if one doesn't brag on themselves, who will? That's the Hay I view it. Yes, I knew you would agree with me, you dear thing. It's such a consolation to tell you my feelings. 8. D. D.: The Home Ee. and Ag. classes are back in their favorite pews today. The Home Ee. girls sure did get a kick out of peeping at the boys between periods when they get a recess but the boys didn't.

In spite of rain tonight which has been nothing unusual for the past week, we had a large attendance at the band concert. The bleachers were filled and some were standing. Mrs. Sullivan with her winning personality could put almost anything over with amazing success. The little tots sure were an added attraction. D. D.: All I have to say today is about the weath- er. It's most always a safe topic. nYes, it's stopped raining, and the sun is shining brightly today. Several have remarked how well all those taking part in the concert performed. D.
