Imitation Week or September Term of Court Initiation Week started the school year off with a shove which afforded much amusement to the old girls and some discomfort to the new ones. Brains received a good deal of exercise, for the jurors, otherwise the old girls, wished to add some new penalty to the list every day of that September term of court. The new girls were sentenced to obey any whim that might strike anyone of the jurors. The week proved that there were a great many matters which needed atten- tion, too many in fact from the viewpoint of the poor defendants. Hose had to be darned, dresses lengthened, shoes shined, hair washed, nails manicured, and an hun- dred and one other things stared them in the face. For a whole week not one girl made her bed and apparently none of them were made pie fashion, a style so com- mon in boarding schools. The poor, over-worked elevator had sixi days of rest, while tge carpet on the stairs was worn down considerably. EXcelsior! Excelsior! became t e motto. Caroline Koetsch, a college freshman, received one of the most severe sentences. One evening while the girls were satisfying their ravenous appetites, a typical Kan- sas rainstorm appeared from nowhere in particular and proceeded to alarm all the fair sex. One of the other college girls who apparently had lived in the arid zone all her life, fearing, since all the windows were open wide that her room might be slightly damp, sent that unfortunate person to close them. She, proving herself a good sport, returned to the dining room damp, and somewhat out of breath after the dash across the campus. Friday evening, the last session of the court was the occasion of the Old Girl-New Girl party. The invitation told the girls to arrive at the right time. Just what that time was no one knew nor did they ever find out. After everyone had arrived, the verdict was given to the defendants as they knelt on the floor before the Judge of the Supreme Court, Polly Speelman. All the girls trembled with fear in anticipa- tion of what was to follow, but it should have been the jurors who feared, because the verdict turned them over to the defendants with the words Do unto others as they have done to you.' Caroline Koetsch, as newly appointed judge, wreaked Ven- geance on her previous prosecutor by making her sing a solo. Some of the girls escaped and their hiding place is yet a mystery. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and rejoicing for henceforth and forevermore, there were no new girls, all were old friends. The Freshman- Going, Going, Gone f'Attention this way, girls! Don't let a bargain like this one go for such a small ice pr . Much shrieking as a response. One hundred and thirty-nine beans, shrieked some effeminate vocal cord from the back of the room. One hundred and thirty-nine beans, yowled Mary Ann Fox, the auctioneer, and Toddy carried off the prize of seven brass buttons, and a choice compilation in the more or less battered form of a hat. Someone just reminded me that it might be wise to tell you that the above chatter was a small, a minimum portion of the Freshman Auction. Between Miss Carlisle's capturing of a choice black Gollywog and Ruth, Anna, Dena, Dora, Kitten, and Polly's walking off with one box of candy, the prizes were evenly distributed. It is rumored that they, the Freshmen, made a memorable sum for the Lenten Fund and so our hopes have soared high to rest on a record amount for this year.
