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

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.

Spring is here at last--We HOPE- .. 5 G 'tl U, L e avain yesterday takin Q 28' Rorg picture2?elTheXTi Dirstugents played softball for the first time since fall. 29 D.

D.: The activity groups consisting of.both boys and girls teams played 1 basketball game during the activity period. Boo-hoo, the White Feathers won. 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. S'funny to see how awkward they ere when sewing, but I heard the men say they bet we girls couldn't fix that good a meal. Wc'll bet they are just
