A Senior's Diary of utilizing their existence to the greatest extent and considered their work and the people working with them before succumbing to the farce disease of the aforementioned. An insignificant feeling which coveted recognition prompted another class to try acting the fool or clown. This group sooner or later found itself out with the school in general, for they were the murderers of desirable good humor. The sophisticated, those who attempted to carry themselves with an important and knowing air, were the next to come under the distinguishing pen. These attempted to imitate the serious and dignified by putting on the high and lofty aten foot pole attitude, the ritz in other words. The only compensation for their pains was that everyone thought them affected. This next group can be fond in any large organization. The principals in this gathering are the grudgers of any society. They were just waiting for their sixteenth year so that they could quit what to them was a horrible, forced existence. Pity was the feeling provoked by these. They were those who hadn't the means to get straightened out and who go through the year with a feeling of wandering and bewilderment. The members of this group were the poor and needy, the undernourished, and the mentally diseased. Lastly, the superfical. They worried about clothes and personal appearance, and if they failed to attract the attention and admiration of their opposites, then their school existence was a flop , and they turned to unsavory activities. .1094 N ,. .Q ' Solomon Rappaport Margaret Perry Raymond Rasch Mary Pettee Bill Ray Gertrude Pioterek General Academic General General General General Peuiper 3, 4 Orchestra 3, 4 Faces 2 Class Pres. 2 Home Economics Track 4 Zetalethean Soc. 2 Quill and Dagger 3, 4

As the page fluttered open before me, in like manner, high school life fluttered before me. For fiutter open it does. I found myself one of a bewildered group of wide-eyed youngsters entering strange surroundings and meeting new people which left in most of us an uncertain inhibitory attitude. The greatest problems confronting us were making our adjustments to benefit ourselves and our school, establishing our credit and character, and planning a mode of carrying on for the time being. The most portentous, and. I fear, the most destructive problem for some, was the urge .which consci- ously or unconsciously caused us to formulate ways and means whereby we could impress ourselves on the minds of the whole school or on as much of the school as possible. The end of the year found me thinking back to the early months of this year, and I discovered myself pondering the antics of us newcomers and trying to classify us according to the ways we had adapted ourselves. Almost at once one recognized that there existed a certain group which could not in the slight- est forget childish emotions and mannerisms. To this group the entire new existence was just a frivolous, childish affair which opened up a new field for childish antics and capers. These freshmen reminded me of lambs that had just found their feet and were testing themselves by performing foolish, thoughtless prancings and caperings. The opposites of this class were the serious and dignified, who somewhat realized the importance 'G-s X Chester Pachucki Industrial Arts 'Ve Q '15 ' r x -.1 Vera Nichlin Alfred Paisie Amelia Okoroski Ralph Parker Pauline Olinger General Industrial Arts General General Commercial Quill and Dagger 3, 4 Student Council 4 Electrical 1, 2 Track 2, 3, 4 Intra Mgr.

I felt that a gener- al readjustment was taking place, which I shall here try to note as my observations became clearer and keener. The readjustment was being carried out in a manner which seemed to show that the enrolled knew more of what they wanted and needed and were more intent on obtaining it. Some of the serious and dignified became disillusioned, lax, and indifferent. A few of the frivo- lous and childish had decided to turn over a new leaf and were seriously intent on making a success of school this time. The majority of the affected had not yet been struck with a force momentous enough to know that they were on the wrong road to popularity and were becoming more pro- voking and unbearable. A slight percentage of these had had it knocked out of them and were seri- ously concentrating on becoming simple and good mixers, and these found. that people were more than willing to have them join their circles. A few of these sophisticates had suffered their jolts so severely that already they had given up and had willingly converted themselves into the type who wished to quit when the time came. Those who had been placed in the group of being forced to go on with school, the malcontents, had already dropped from the progression, or were making it terribly hard for others until their time came to leave. Circumstances had so changed for quite a number that they had now become part of that poor groping class which was still trying to find the far distant shining light. The clowns were still acting foolish and seemed destined to continue doing so. Some of us wished that there were a way of .f z ,r ' ' .2 ,,: I 4- .
