SAN MATEO JUNIOR CoLI.Ec:I2 77 IllIIllIIIIIHIIIIlvlIHIIHIIIII1IIIIVIllIIHIAIIINIIIlIllIHIHIIllHIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllvl I Hlllllllll Leaves rom cz Co-ecfs Diary FRIDAY, AUGUST 9 I'm so green, Diary, it's pitiful I don't know anything . . . couldn't find room 12 . . . couldn't find any place . . . sat on the sophomore bench . . . sat on the sophomore lawn! just a scared little freshwoman, Diary. Wliat a come- down after being one of the big guns at high school! FRIDAY, AUGUST 16 College is great! Now that I've flunked the Subject A and the Aptitude test, and my study list is all fixed up, l'm beginning to look around and get acquainted, and the folks around here are worth knowing, what I mean! We have lots of fun at noon watching the hazing. What they do to those fellows is just nobody's business! They make them propose to the women, stand on benches and sing Sweet Adeline, roll up their trousers above their knees, shine sophomore shoes, wear dinks-and if they don't do as they're told they strop them with belts! It's enough to make one roll over and butter oneself. Mirth, mirth and more mirth! TUESDAY, AUGUST 27 I met my big sister today. She and her chum are going to take another freshman and me to an Associated Women Students tea at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel tomorrow afternoon. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28 What a ducky tea! My big sister drove us over in her roadster . . . it's only three blocks, but it gives you that collegiate feeling, you know. We played bridge and danced a bit, ate sandwiches, tea and ice cream. Oh, oh, each freshie had a big balloon tied to her chair. The freshman who came with us is the sweetest girl, and I have a feeling that she and I are going to be chums. Her name is Lil. SATURDAY, AUGUsT 51 Yesterday afternoon was the brawl,U the big free-for-all, when the frosh have a chance to get even with those mean sophs. The sophs won . . . I sup- pose they always do think they're good, you know . . . but there was pretty close competition in one event, the sack race. They had to run with their feet in sacks . . . My dear, can you bear it? I have to laugh every time I think of it. They looked so funny. It came out a tie, and the sophs won the other two games, the joust and the tug-of-war. After the brawl I stayed in San Mateo at Lil's until time for the Ftosh Reception in the evening. My first college dance! I didn't get back to the city 'til about 2:50 this morning. Oh, oh! His name is Dick I-Ierrald, and he's

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 I just got home from the Varsity S dance. QYes, I went with Dicklj It was a sport affair, dontcha know, in keeping with the football season. There was a huge football at one end of the gym, and a large S in the middle with blue and white streamers floating from it. I met some of the football men and had a splendid time all 'rOund. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 You couldn't guess who was the speaker at assembly today, Diary, Irving Pichell! He read parts of Lazarus Laughs and told us the story of Eugene O'Neill's life. It was so fascinating, we just sat spellbound. Mr. Pichell has the richest, mellowest voice I ever heard, and such personality! I wouldn't have missed that assembly for the world. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11 We frosh are a very peppy and enterprising class, if I do say it myself. Out Barn Dance tonight was a great success. We had a big red drop with the class numerals on it, and other decorations lent by some theatre in the city. I danced the elimination dance with Dick, and we were among the lirst elim- inated. Howfs that for getting off the dime? The winning couple was given lovely prizes, a cigarette case for the boy and a gold compact for the girl. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16 We had the hottest Pep Rally today! Introducing the S. M. J. C. Gauchos, jazz Band de Luxe . . . the audience sure did wiggle its shoulders. Among other things on the program Marshall Black . . . loose and dangling, with a face and hair like Eddie Peabodyfs . . . did a sort of a Charleston-Black Bottom- Varsity Drag Mix! Best of all, Miss Amelia de Prato, whose brother goes to I. C., sang some beautiful soprano solos. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26 This morning the girls showed their stuff in athletics at a field day in Burlingame. There were contestants from three colleges: San Francisco, San jose State Teachersf, and ours. We had potato races, three-legged races, wheelbarrow races and the regular sports. After the game we all had lunch in the Burlingame High cafeteria, and each college gave a stunt. The girls were wonderful sports. No fOolin,' we had a swell time. FRIDAY, NOVEMI5l2R S I went to the A. W. S. dance A Night in Hawaii, tonight and had a hot time. That old barn of a gym never does cool off, if you ask me. What a keen jig!
