November 5, 1938 Saturday

S.U. At 9 o’clock left for Manchester with Uncle Carl and Alden. Met Bob over there and he came home with us. Keene, the underdog, favored to be licked by three touchdowns, tied mighty Manchester Central 12-12—our best game in years. Best I ever saw. Everyone was crazy from the start. We led 12-0 up to the last quarter, but then their strength told and we tired out. What a game!

November 4, 1938 Friday

S.U.W.T.S. In p.m. had a capella practice. In evening read a book report book. Yes, it’s true. Mayo Panile had appendicitis and, of course, won’t play tomorrow. The junior class took him a card and two magazines. It blows our chances against Manchester but we’ll fight ‘em.

November 3, 1938 Thursday

S.U.W.T.S. Studied in p.m. In evening loafed. Am going to bed early tonight. Pretty tired. The Manchester Central game is Saturday. The ultimate goal at which the KHS football team has been aiming for two years. It is at Manchester, the largest high school in the state. It is rumoured that Panile has appendicitis; bad, bad, bad!

November 2, 1938 Wednesday

S.U.W.T.S. In p.m. went to Peterboro for Russell and Foster. Sherm came with me. Had a Kappa Phi committee meeting. In evening, I went, at the request of Mr. Barrett, to the rehearsal of the 172nd Infantry Band of Vermont National Guard at Brattleboro. They want me to join, but I would have to enlist in the National Guard if I did—and that is not desirable.

November 1, 1938 Tuesday

S.U. W.T.S. Studied in p.m. In evening went to little K.H.S. Band rehearsal. I’m very busy lately, but I am having a good time.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way,
But to act that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.
