I'm just home debate and I really can't say 1926' ACACIA I .4 Wednesday, jan. 6: I noticed tirvo new dia- monds today, Katharine Axtell and Frances much for them. Thursday, Dec. 10: I went down to look in on the Football Banquet at the Coliseum. The program was dandy and the eats looked good. I almost threw two fits to see Trax acting like Mr. Briggs.-We had sad news today. Virgil Johnson died yesterday in a hospital in Des Moines. V Friday, Dec. 11: The College Players put on their first play at the Coliseum. It was some- thing about a lot of keys and looked like an awful mess to me, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Wednesday, Dec. 16: We had a Christmas Ves- per Service tonight and I came home feeling so happy and Christmasy that I almost lost a life trying to express myself. I guess I'm just not understood. Thursday, Dec. 17: A Mr. Koch sang at the church tonight. Flossie said Miss Carlile thought he was the best we ever had here. Friday, Dec. 18: The Community Pictures are shown at the Coliseum now and I waited around an hour to get in, as nobody told me that they are at 7:30. Anyway the show Broken Laws was worth waiting for. I'd have used a slipper on that kid, and one on his dad, too. Saturday, Dec. 19: The girls debated tonight about pitying their grand-children. I didn't go, but I suppose it is a vital question to those who have grandchildren. Tuesday, Dec. 22: I tried to get in on the Lambda Delta Sigma Christmas dinner, but someone gave me a dirty look and I cut for home. They had chicken, too. Wednesday, Dec. 23: Hooray! Vacation! Nuff sed till Jan. 5. Tuesday, Jan. 5: Everyone, that is all but the SW, are back and ready for school. New Year's Resolutions seem to be in style, but I don't suppose they'll last long. Cochran. Graceland is living up to her reputation. Saturday, Jan. 9: I went to the finals of the women's debate and found it was still on the grandchildren question, but I stayed it and learned quite a lot. The Niketes the banner. Sunday, jan. 10: There was a reception our new Spanish teacher, Miss Carrott. wonder if she likes cats. Ollt got for I Monday, Jan. 11: The Pi's won the Record contest today. They must have lots of soci- ety spirit or lots of cash. Friday, Jan. 15: Mr. Lawrence Brings read to us in chapel-it was from Macbeth I left during the sleep-walking scene. It was too spooky. He read Candida at the church and it was fine. Saturday, Jan. 16: Edith Woods knocked 'em all cold at the Academy Declam contest to- night with The Phantom Airplane. Monday, jan. 18: Chillicothe beat us at our first basketball game. Miss Layton got taken for a co-ed and almost had a date. Tuesday, Jan. 19: Another game tonight. Wowie! They beat us again. Wednesday, jan. 20: Not much doing tonight. The library was jammed with folks getting in their last cram. I don't believe in it my- self. Thursday, jan. 21: The Lambda Delts learned all about modern music and art. Friday, jan. 22: Exams and more exams. I'm glad I'm a cat. Saturday, Jan. 23: Miss Layton's Contempo- rary Literature class had a banquet, toasts and all. Fine way to take exams, I'd purr. Tuesday, Jan. 26: Clarinda played basketball here tonight and we almost went wild and then the score was 30-29 in their favor. Too bad for us and Boot's head. M9 ilitf-ff'

I sure tore around, in fact everyone was feeling kittenish. Saturday, May 1: The Niks had a minstrel show tonight. Some of them sure slung a line. I notice I'm using lots of slang.

It will get worse from now to the end of school. Tuesday, May 25: Not much on this week. There'll be lots in about a week. I don't see why they don't spread it out a little. The road to South VVoods is being worn down by picnic parties and such. Thursday, May 27: Exams again. You can't get a rise out of anybody. Monday, May 31: Everybody is packing and cleaning up. It won't be long now till they'll all be gone and I'll be left alone till next fall. Tuesday, June 1: The Lambda Delta Sigmas had their annual banquet this noon. They almost acted dignified for once. The Junior College Banquet was held tonight. I think folks would get fed up on banquets. Wednesday, June 2: Whew! The last day and such a hurry and hullabaloo. It started early this morning with the Crescent break- fast, then a chapel at 10:00 where all the honors were awarded. Everybody looked ex- pectant, but it didn't amount to much in my notion. Thursday, June 3: Everybody gone, and no excitement. You can't imagine what a col- lege town is without a college. Sure dead. But now for a good rest. it -7 Q ' ff 3 :QA ig 5 QQ . Q. L' , E
