Dear Diary: SEPTEMBER: Back for the third year on dear ol’ Simpson’s campus .... never thot I’d make it! ! ! ! Good to see the gang again .... and the returning vets .... What a mess the room was in . . ugh! Didn’t mind scrub- bing the floor but “oh,” those dirty windows. After the white curtains were hung every- thing was ready for the hurried week of rushing .... panhcllenic tea ... . one hour parties .... preference dinner .... fol- lowed by the impressive pledging ceremony. Football season opened with the Redmen vs. Central .... The freshmen donned the traditional “freshie” caps of red and gold . . . . most familiar phrase on campus was “Button, Freshie” ! ! ! OCTOBER: The second month of school was busy with preparations for homecoming . . . . good skits in the Varsity Show .... snake dance .... parade. Mary Berry won first prize on their float. Princess Betty Funk, Brave Jim Comer, and Chief Faucett were presented in chapel and presided over the football game. Cornell won and as a result the freshmen wore their caps ’til Thanks- giving. Dr. Bacon was the guest speaker for Religious Emphasis Week observed from the twenty-first through the twenty-sixth. NOVEMBER: Weather was perfect for those Kappa Park picnics .... mid-semester exams were plenty “ruff!” . . All sororities were cram- ming for the grade cup .... Thanksgiving brought the first snow and the entire campus was white as the Simpsonites packed their suitcases and went home for that needy vacation .... My wardrobe now had to include those tiresome boots, kerchiefs, mit- tens, fur coats, etc.Winter had arrived! DECEMBER: SNOW .... SLEET WIND RAIN and seven-thirty classes! ! ! ! On December sixteenth the «Simpson choir and chorus presented the Messiah .... the Christmas spirit was in the cold air . . . . the Union had the traditional tree beautifully decorated and a party was held the night before vacation for the weary students. VACATION .... two weeks of perfect freedom from those books .... ! ! JANUARY: HAPPY NEW YEAR .... 1946 was ushered in as a year of peace .... and after final exams were over everyone settled down for a promising second semester . . . . Rush week .... Panhellenic tea . . the main attraction of the month was the journey to Drake for the basketball game. FEBRUARY: Fair weather .... Valentine party at the union . . Good month for basketball games . . . . The Simpson Redmen downed both Hamlin and Drake .... finished season as second in conference .... six week tests . . . ugh! Miniature Orpheum practices . . .

Miniature Orpheum was held at the high school .... excellent skits . . . . presentation of beauties and represen- tative men and women .... SPRING . . . . followed by a four day recess . . . . !
