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.

THE 15. 14. 16. 19. 20. 21. 23a 26. YEAR 1959-40 D. D.: The snow fell as-fluently toda as Gedfreyla vocabulary ibut appreciated a lot morey. Miss Brown gave the Commercial Club a valentine party today during the activity period, and she gave me a cute H little valentine with a sucker on it too. Then, too, there was valentine red-hots. Teachers sure are swell. D. D.: Miss Brownfs aunt has passed away, but she kindly found time to assist us in getting ready for the program tomorrow night. Miss Stewart gave the Home Ec. Club a party today. Gee! Heart shaped, ope faced sandwiches, cookies and cocoa. Teachers are human after all. 1 ' D. 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. D.: Miss Brown is back again, but there is still a lull in short hand caused by her running in the hall so often to' take cold tablets. Snowed most of the day. The two famous Senior Ujelleyersn were expelled for an indefinite time today. D. D.: Today is nearly as dull as yesterday except that the Juniors gave a swell program this morning. D. D.: This morning Reverend Tucker from the M. E. church told us about UMa and Pa going out westu, It was very entertaining but we werenlt surprised when it ended with a moral. I wonder if we really do have a home with golden windows? I1

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
