OCTOBER. 2. Ecremmoc and Konuaw Clubs meet to reorganize. 3. “No football,” is the decision of the Faculty. 11. Seniors given seats of honor in the front of the room during rhetoricals, presumably to show the flats how nice we all look and how sedate we are. 12. Initiated into the mysteries of Banking and Commercial Law. Many embryo lawyers put in their appearance. 13. Heard in all corners from the Senior Class, “Good morning, have you Tickled your Register yet?” 16. Kormaw entertains the Ecremmoc. Nice lunch, nice time, nice girls. Really, five of the boys present could dance. 17. Mr. Manville issues the first call for the future song-birds. 21. Report cards go home. (Tears, prayers, and resolutions.) Kormaw initiation. NOVEMBER. 9. Ecremmoc initiation, llow did you enjoy the ride? 12. Doris Noble on time. Said that it wasn’t her fault, so she was pardoned. 16. Joe Smolik appears with new shoes. Explains readily why the shoemakers have struck for higher wages and less work. 21. Comdra, nicknamed “Gum Drop,” Club re-organized by Junior girls. 22. Doris Noble an hour late. The bridge. 25. Informed by the Faculty that we were not to have an Annual. 26. Seniors protest so vehemently and with so much spirit that the Faculty changed its mind. We hope for an Annual. 27. First “sassiety” event of the year—Senior Informal. School adjourned so that we could eat “Turkey” but we were cautioned to leave “Greece” alone. DECEMBER. 2. No one sick, but we are still eating either real turkey, or Christian Science turkey. 9. First call for basketball. Last year’s entire team reported. 13. Open house at School. Lights went out in 12 and 13. We wonder why. The Senior girls, acting as ushers, were real cute in their white suits. 18. Varsity vs. Faculty. Mr. Ditmer was once again the timer but it wasn’t any use, for the team piled up the score on the valiant but outclassed teachers. Russon’s wrestling with Mr. McMyler and Zak's sensational diving featured the game. 19. Poor under classmen are being pestered very much by those promoting the Annual. 20. Senior Formal. Some class to this class. Donnelly broke all fonner records by eating seven dishes of ice cream and sixty-seven crackers. 125
