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

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

But to the feminine teach- ers--we are'nt going to have hard crusted rolls or cherry pie with juice running out on top 'cause cherry pie is common. Our women's intuition tells us to be different. D.

As for as known it is the first time it has ever been done hereat T. T. H. S. It sure showed the cast what points they needed to brush upon for tomorrow night. D. D.: The Senior play given tonight was pronounced a success. We're plenty glad for it means Mr. Ramsey is going to feed us. He sure has been a trump to us all the may through. Personally I don't see how he put up with us. Everyone is al- ways bound to get on everyone elses nerve some time or other when working together on such a yital project. Some of the commercial students went to the District Commercial Contest at Metropolis. Glory bel The lst yeai typist team won lst place. Evangelyn won lst place as individual too. Quote: The more skill one develops in one's hand the more intelligence is developed. Unquote. D. D. 1t's worm again, but if I'me not mistaken it wont last.
