FRESHMAN YEAR September 5, 1946— Dear Diary, Today, we the class ol [950— seems like a long way off— have been duly initiated into the membership ol Weymouth High School. Taking an inven- tory, we found ourselves with stacks of books, a precious program card (issued with warning not to lose it and to copy it correctly— or we ' d be sorry) plus pencils, pens, and rulers. The latter became handy later as offensive and defensive weapons! The first day is over and it ' s time to settle down to opening up the covers ol those books. September 21, 1946- Dear Diary, It ' s Friday. At least that ' s what the calendar said. However, in school it was Monday, with the program running backwards— just to confuse us fresh- men a little more, il that was possible. A little kindness was shown us however; the clocks were running as usual. The upper classmen seemed to understand all these mysterious changes. Possibly in three years, we shall, too. The purpose of all this contusion was to present a program in the audi- torium, where Mr. Whittle, our principal, extended us a hearty welcome and best wishes for a happy lour years. September 25, 1946— Dear Diary, The Aggie boys took the day off to go down to Mr. Kress ' s farm to learn how to sort and pack tomatoes today. They learned how to pack a basket ol grade-A tomatoes out of a pile of grade-C ' s by facing the best side out and adding a little bit of cellophane. From all reports it seems as if they had a very good time. There ' ll be many good farmers in the future, especially from Weymouth High School. September 28, 1946- Dear Diary, We had a football rally this afternoon. The football team was introduced, along with the cheerleaders and the coaches. High school is really becoming interesting! September 29, 1946- Dear Diary, Miss Nye is in England. Miss Flaherty has very ably taken over her work in the Guidance Office. October 2, 1946- Dear Diary, being freshmen has at least some good points! We go to lunch first, just think of those poor unfortunate juniors and seniors who have to wait until the third lunch period before they can enjoy that pleasure. We also have another advantage; we go down to the auditorium first when- ever there is an assembly. Maybe it would be better to remain a lower class- man—we probably shall, anyhow. October 17, 1946- Dear Diary, Today was Dungaree Day. It seemed strange to see everyone wearing dungarees, especially in school. But, my, did it bring back those old summer memories! Why don ' t they pass a new law— Dungaree Day every day? November 10, 1946- Dear Diary, We were late lor school this morning. It was evident that those Lovell buses would break dcrwn sooner or later. Miss Vining was presenting one of her famous Latin tests the first period. Wasn ' t it too bad so many didn ' t arrive until the second period? 17
