SAN MATEO JUNIOR COLLEGE 79 muuunmumummuvInum:mummmmyinuuimnumnummuuuuuun-num Immun-n SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16 Last night I went to see The Queen's Husband given by the Players' Club. It was keen and the costumes were stunning, my dear. Betty Blodgett was the loveliest princess imaginable, and Walter Cosgrave, the king, is one of the best actors I ever saw. The story was the regular mythical kingdom intrigue-and-romance affair, but there was a lot of humor in it, and it was plenty good. FRIDAY, NOVEM BER 22 ' Talk about wonderful dances! Pi-Nite was absolutely the last word. The motif was all newspaper stuff, you know. Headlines, posters and dummy pages tacked all around made up the decorations, and the big feature in the program was a skit representing the publication of a copy of the San Mateanf' The orchestra was A-1, the refreshments Q pie and coffeej were just right, and every dance was better than the last. That Press Club sure throws a mean hop and I don't mean perhaps. THURSDAY, NovE MBER 28 Oh, Diary, what a game, what a game! Sacramento won but who cares . . . our boys can fight plenty! Get this: the score was Sacramento 26, San Mateo 0, at the end of the first half, and Sacramento 33, San Mateo 20, at the end of the game, plus the tale that hangs thereby. I never saw such spirit, such playingg and I simply yelled myself blue in the face. Even Sacramento had to take off its hat to that team of ours. Lawdy, Lawdy, do they deserve all the turkey they can eat? And how! ' FRIDAY, DECQEMBER 6 I'm so low I can teach up and touch bottom. What a week-end! I have all my books home, and 1've got to study every one of them. Finals next week. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12 Wlmoops, my dear, and now I'm going to celebrate by going to the Soph Formal. I'm so thrilled I'm walking around on air. You should see my new whoopie dress . . . um . . . um . . . egg-shell taffeta. FRIDAY, DECEMBER I5 Superintendent Boren was killed yesterday morning in an automobile acci- dent. People always start praising a person after he dies, but this time they really mean what they say. He was a great man, and everybody admired him. I-Ie was always lending us a hand down here at college, Diary. The Soph Formal has been given up . . . nobody feels much like it anyway, I guess. SUNDAY, JANUARY 5 The big day is tomorrow! Back to college for little Babe. Sez you! It'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!

30 The CAMPUS 1 1930 great to be a high Freshman and know exactly what to do and how to do it. I'rn all set to go drag down the Honor Points this semester, no foolinf MONDAY, JANUARY 6 Oh yes! I got in the lineup all night, and stayed there until eleven o'clock. I rushed through the signup -if you call an hour and a half rushing. My program was all worked out fheh, hehj. Oh well, we live and learn and maybe there are worse things than daily 8 o'clocks and afternoon lab! Next term I'll be a low soph and know better. At least I had the pleasure of wearing a pitying smile for the frosh in the auditorium agonizing through the Subject VUEDNESDAY, JANUARY S Bad start! I arrived for my eight olclock at a quarter to nine . . Q all my best boy friends in the class too! THURSDAY, JANUARY 9 I Noon-hour these days is just one guffaw after another, Diary. One fellow Qdon't get me wrongj . . . one scrub wears long underwear! Can you bear it? Fancy how it looks under his rolled-up cords! FRIDAY, JANUARY I0 Bought my student-body card today from the most adorable blonde man . . . if you please. MONDAY, JANUARY 13 The service society had a luncheon at the Ben Franklin. Memorandum: Find out what '!Amphyction means. -WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15 The Welcome assembly today was pretty good. We sang all the good old songs and yelled the good old yells, and Torry Bryant gave out the foot- ball awards. The round-up of the herd fre. of the male froshj was very effective with the forced ejection through the side doors into the rain. THURSDAY, JANUARY 16 I found out this noon that my steady has other weaknesses besides me, namely, radio, bridge, and male society. In other words the Men's Club room was opened, and he was just like all the rest of the fellows . . . not at large. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22 Today we found out all about the real desert and how the Arabs act out- side of the movies. It was an assembly at which Dr. Hulme, history professor at Stanford, was the speaker. He just came back from French North Africa, so he ought to know his stuff. T HURSDAY, JANUARY 25 This afternoon I went to the A. W. S. tea at the Ben Franklin. Played terrible bridge but made friends with some of the freshmen, and, after all, that's what the tea is for,
