This is the month when the lussers begin to despair the idea or more fussing in the Jungle. The days get very chilly, and it is much more comfortable to sit together up in the cozy little parlor in the girls ' hall. These are the days when the football man v begins to envy the easy life and habits of the fusser. j Now there had been a new set ol rules adopted for the regulation of the young in Colorado College. R The rules meant well, but to some it seemed a «| Ht little too much like — well, hardly like taking U the candy from the baby. Thereupon there was dissension and discussion, it was of a silent kind that did its work when no one knew — in the night, as it were. But like all things of this sort, this was finally settled, and every- one was left feeling most happy. The dea of having two fraternity nights a month, and all fraternities to have their social, functions on those nights was adopted by the faculty, and was accept- ed by the fraternities. On the fourth day of this month, a large part of the college made a general exodus on a special train to that side station in northern Colo- rado known as Boulder. There the Tiger football team played a game. Then we all came back to Colorado Springs again. The Boulder rooters did not act in a rowdy manner this time — just simple. Prexy and Mr. Bowers were Q both rather put out because of the fact that Mr. Statton, as manager of our team, did not bring back more than half of the gate receipts. And by the way, the score was 8-2, with C. C. having the 2. A week later the Tigers went up against another rather tough proposition. This time it was the Mormon boys from out in Utah. Those Mormon boys were fast, too, and no 18 « V ' M « • » « .-. ' •■.• • » , i . . , » « .1 • « « • « . ' . ' • . .. • T, v. . ' ■ ' - ' •■ . f» •• • . • • - . • • • ' • » •

All who were not in Wisconsin swarmed to the Phi Gamms ' open house. It was a good thing it was an open house instead of a closed house, for if they had closed it up everyone would have suffocated. As it was, everyone stepped on everyone else ' s feet. Of course it was nice. Insignia Day comes once a year. £ Prexy and Miss Loomis preferred that the Juniors should not do any rowdy stunts this year when the Seniors had their Insignia Day. So the Juniors just buried the hatchet with the || Seniors, and that was all there was to It was a sad occasion, so Les- ter acted as the crepe in the fun- eral procession. It was a per- fectly nice Insignia Day, but some unkind persons continue to insist that the Juniors were a rowdy sight. The social celebra- tion of that day was held out at the Golf Club, about three days after the day itself. The Juniors thought it would be nice to give a nice play. They did not think that an operetta was a nice thing, but further still, they did not think it would be nice to give a Greek play. Tim Lynch would not make a very good red-headed Greek. The Juniors postponed their play until the second semester. The Sophomores did not appreciate the idea of the fireless, old-original, English Barbecue which had been put on the year before. The fire department did. The fires were started, but the brave fire laddies put them out. The Sophs tried that old stunt of handing out wienes for food. They went on the theory that every dog has his day. Many of the little Freshmen looked quite angel-like as they went up among the clouds that evening. 191 3 ' s barbecue is the best yet.

It was a terribly cold day. Yes, the Tigers lost again, 1 8-6. But a week later they came back in just the grandest style and beat the Miners in Denver, to the tune of 11-0. 1 he Y. W. C. A. had a week of prayer. How that ever hap- pened to get mentioned in this write-up is hard to say. Pearsons Society had a ladies ' night, and then the Aps thought they would have one. Both programs were excellent and were enjoyed by the ladies very much — especially the refreshments. The Jun- ior class still persisted in the idea that they were going to give a play of some sort. Prof. Howe and Miss Loomis said that Bernard Shaw was not nice, so that queered him completely. Some of the Juniors liked to read his works before they heard that, but now they do not read them at all. The class absolutely re- fused to give a pageant. T h e Ger- man Club presented the play, Die Hochzeitsreise. Not even Professor Howe ' s students knew what the actors were talk- ing about, except when they said Mine Got! How pleas- ant it is for the college students to spend the Thanksgiving holidays in the capitol city, with all its great attrac- tions. How wonderful the theatres. But not the least of the pleasures is to witness the great football game, which the Alma Mater - plays. This Thanksgiving Day was a great come- back day for the Tiger football team. D. U. was de- feated, 1 2-0. They played a game that showed that they were better than the best. The single regret is that they did it too late. Thanksgiving time is a time to be thankful about everything we have to be thankful for at once, and then have it over. It would be inconvenient to be thankful every day of the year. » - ♦ . . , , , j Sale, 7Sif Gr N... V . 19 O „• •:.-• ' •• i ' ;; , • ,1 -■ f
