Now, we, the annual board, decided that there must be a preface to this write-up of the year, because some people might criticise that we had departed from the usual cut-and-dried custom of writing a calendar which would be no more than a sum- mary of Miss Loomis ' social schedule, the athletic schedules, the Y. M. C. A. hand-book schedule, the college catalogue, and such other events as Fate happened to be able to run in without the con- sent of the various schedule committees. We do not think that it is the duty of the an- nual board to keep and print a diary, just because there are so many peo- ple in college who are too lazy to do it for themselves. We suggest that those who wish the annual to be a book of statistics may serve their purpose just as well by bind- ing a file of the year ' s Tigers, and a copy of the college catalogue. Bind them in leather like this. We know that the people want some- thing classy, and that is the reason we have given it to ycu. There isn ' t a thing worth remembering that isn ' t worth josh- ing about. Some of the gentle readers may think this is a pretty poor job of josh- ing. We shan ' t deny it for a moment. An- nuals have that common failing, but still, since we were given the job, it was up to us to try. One of the good things about this write-up is that it will do away with all future annual boards having to write up the year at all. All the years are alike, and now that one gccd write-up has been made that will apply to any and all of the years, the annual boards in coming years can leave a few blank pages and merely refer to the annual of the class of 1913. Now, vou ask whv the preface comes in December. December is a • ' • . . . . • • • • • •.• ' .••• ' . ' ; . « •: • !• • • »• • ■.» « ' . .ppppp »• •v.

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

Stale things are best preserved in the cold. December is the last month of the yeai, but it wculd be an unkind man who would call it the least of the months. On the ninth, the p°p gentlemen friends of Minerva escorted them to the Acacia Hotel to partake of a grand merry-go-round feast. It is too bad that some of the fellows who had fussed so consistently had to be left out, but when a girl gets the idea that a fellow is fussing for a bid it ' s all off. Pearsons pulled off their second ladies ' night for the semester. The Aps could not go another ladies ' night, so they got to- gether at a stag banquet. Alfred Tennyson Dickens appeared in the Motten Lecture course. He spoke of the years juring which my papa lived be- fore he died. The hard working scoun- drels on the foot- ball team were rewarded by having their pictures taken. Then they were given those beautiful black and gold C sweat ers. Is it not remarkable that husky football heroes should be so weak hearted as to immediately give such hard- earned laurels to cover the back of the fair? Bowers was elected to cap- tain the football team in 1912, and Lynch was made manager of the sport in that period. There was a Pan-Pan just be- fore the holidays. There always is one then. This Pan-Pan served a double purpose. Football was reviewed, and the proper sort of vacation pep was given to the students to take home to their high schools i. along with a college calendar. The college calenders were better than ever before, in fact, so much better that those who waited o get the last ones at half price were sadly stung. Here should follow a dissertation on Christmas, but we haven ' t the space. • Cent; 21 , «■■ 1.1 • ' .•I. » •• ' : ' .•■ ' $ ' ? . . • t v i
