I had such a good time lad summer. But mom got me up from my nice warm bed, in spite of my dire protes!. A couple of the fellows came by for me; and we darted out in the cold gray hours of dawn. I dill think classes before noon should be done away with. Well after gripingy feel better. 1 won ) ted you about the teachers jud now; but they're just about the same as lad year. You know what I mean. Say, diary; I jud saw something which prompts me to take a little walk down the had. 1 think she's going in to the art room. Now, I always knew I had a talent for drawing.

FOREWORD September 6, 1944 QsucUe (DiaAij.i: Well, here I am again atuI out of breath. I jufl barely got here before the tardy bell rang. I guess the eagerness of the fir l day of school has worn off. Yesterday 1 was here in time to admire the paint oj a pretty soft green shade in the lower halls. Well, I got a schedule, and filled it out. I see where I hare to take social psychology — that's a 25 cent word. I wonder what it means? Also chemifhy, literature, P. E and, of course, art. I'm going to need the brains of a genius to keep going. I're got to keep up on my ffudies so I can play basketball and turn out for track this year. Boy, jufl watch my speed! I hear there's a dance coming up in a week or two so everyone can get acquainted. Say, that's all right. A faybe I can get together with that girl in art class by that time. You know what, diary, all in all, scljool isn't so bad. I think 77 write down everything I do this year. It would be a good idea to have all the particulars of the (u til ities and social affairs of the year down on paper. Besides I kinda think I have a literary freak in me. You never can tell. I might turn out to be another Ernie Pyle. I think I'll put down jufl exactly how I feel about everything that goes on at Weatberwax.
