Sample 4 July 7-----Saturday----Cloudy and hot Thank God everything is over! Had our last exam paper this afternoon Went straight from school to the canal to have a dip. Wasn't at all refreshing as I had hoped. Water much too warm and dirty and the place almost as crowded as a swimming pool. A lot of hooligans about too, making a hell lot of noise, splashing water and insulting girls with foul language. How I wished I had the martial skill to beat up every one of them and give them a thorough ducking It is after all a social problem, though things are getting better since the crackdown on crimes What made me even more mad was to see Fatty mixing among them He'll end up in no good in such company. I must have a talk with him sometime

Why don't they ever do anything about our school pool? Pity allowing it lying waste for God Knows how many years. Used to hold memorial races every year too. Now suddenly swimming is no longer important. The pool has become a dumping ground. I'm sure a little repair work can revive it. all we need is one or two technicians and we students can do the rest but no no one can be bothered! Why do we always do things in fits and starts? spent the evening watching tV. as luck would have it, there wasn't a single interesting program. There were so many interesting things on when we had our review and exams. To make things worse the set gave us a lot of trouble. the image was not at all clear and is kept jumping. Gave me quite a headache. We really need a ew set
