THE YEAR 1959-40 26. Miss Brown has been going in circles. Now, added to her troubles Jeff Neff accuses her of putting her feet in the wastepaper basket, because it is always so full. No wonder! But the yearbook is finished, so he wont be growling Monday. Typing team goes to Carbondale tomorrow. Hear's hoping they win. 29.

So do we. MAY l. Tonight we eat. The Senior play cast is to go to Pine Hill for a picnic. Miss Stewart has helped the cooks fix the chicken, and it certainly is delicious. Mr. Ramsey has spent most of this week speculating whereNban be bought the cheapest. I would too, if I were feeding that gang. 2. Recuperating from the picnic, but I'm not the only one who has to recuperate. Did we eat! 5. Starting work on the last issue of nThe Mirrorn for this year. Bet Miss Brown is glad. 6. This operetta practice is exhausdng everyone. I'd just as soon play hockey myself, but Mr. Wilkins might call it hockey playing instead of Hhitch hiking 7.

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. D.: The Home Ec. girls served tea at the meet- ing of the Women's Club, consisting of women from all over the cwunty. Ch! Pr isel We glory in it. P. T. A. tomorrow night. The first year Home Rc. girls will give a demonstration on correct clothing for a job applicant. D. D.: The Seniors gave a matinee this afternoon. 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.

THE YEAR 1939-40-- 19 21. 22 25. 25 weren't on earth. Someday when we join the Woman's Club we won't allow them to step a foot in at one of our meetings--neither will we bring them a hand- out from the leftmover refreshments like I saw Mrs. Marchildon do the other day. Maybe we're flatter- ing ourselves? Yeah, maybe we are, but one can t always sometimes tell. Work on yearbook tonight. D. D.: The boys at last gave their program this morning. According to the announcer it was differ- ent, but to most it seemed the scheme of the whole thing fitted in with the name-nNutzH. 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. D.: That mean doctor man was here again. HB6 brave, my sweets.H That yearbook staff has been working like beavers for the past week, even to coming up one night while a board meeting was in session. I bet they think we're an energetic bunch. There it is again--conceit--conceit. It will invariably pop up. D. D.: The report cards were distributed today-- shiver--shiver. The advanced Home Ec. class made a tour to Cairo to visit the Coca Cola plant, and the Lewis Bakery at Anna. Don't ever let anyone tell you that nCokeH bottles aren't washed thorough ly. That nice man who showed us around gave each a nCoke.n People are just angels. They are to make another trip soon to Cape Girardeau and Jack- son, Mo. to visit a flour mill and a packing house. Track meet at O. B. Mr. Wilkins sure has poor taste when he picks up nhookey playersn who are hitch-hiking to the track meet. But in that case I guess one couldn't be choosey, Work again tonite D. D.: The Latin Club, sponsored by Hrs. Petitt, had a Latin banquet tonight. They even had ice cream. Yearbook almost finished. No work tonight.
