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

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.

How fine it feels to start on a new year. Everything in the old is left behind. New Year ' s resolutions are all right in their place for those who like them, and as long as they last. The for- est rangers, in the rangers short course left us soon after the new year began. They left to continue their work in Manitou Park. We were almost convinced of the reality of the cowboy hero in the moving pic- tures, when so many slightly swaggering, high-hatted, corduroy-clothed individuals swarmed the campus for about a month. The girls thought it more bold than insulting that the rangers should presume to smoke within the sacred walls of Palmer Hall, he rangers had one, big, chuck on Christmas night at the Alamo. How happy it made everyone to get back in college once again after the holidays. Even the Glee Club was glad to get back. They had spent a most delightful musical journey in the southern and western parts of our state, and had gladdened the hearts of many music-hungry peo- ple. Soon after their return they put their concert on in Perkins Hall. Hyp- notism — real unadulterated hypnotism — was the sensation of the program. It only goes to show that you can fool all the people some of the time. The engineers had a ladies ' night where they most boldly mixed a grand display of elec- trical effects with engineerical poetry and ice cream. The Juniors were still certain they wanted to give a play, but they needed a little ready cash. That was the cause of the numerous candy sales which took place under the direction of that class. Hypatia s function took the form of what might be called musical , . « •■ ' i ' • ' - . • , ' . ' » •• .. -vv-: » . « .» ».♦ • ' » ' . •• ' £ ' »;
