Even though it is Sunday, the fellows use the iron stair case to get in. 1. “Whitie begins dieting himself and fully a dozen others have to follow suit. Hutchie calls Hosie to office for cutting classes and not studying. Hosie’s thoughts are always Still, therefore he cannot study. 2. The Seniors are given a lecture on “Public Speaking and How to Breathe, by the Head Master. It was very interesting and lasted long enough to keep some from their recita- tions. 3. Yeckley moved to fourth floor and was ini- tiated. 4. A regular pillow fight on fourth floor with lights out. Prof. Kline was almost knocked down the front stairs in his effort to quell the disturbance. 5. Reindollar ducked Killough at 10.30.

Skating at the creek, ice thin and “Chaddie” went in. 21. Skating causes many to cut classes. The fac- ulty say that the fellows this year study less tha ' n any year before. We doubt it not.

All who went to see the Dickinson-Swarthmore game were allowed out till 10.30. Every prep, went, to be sure. 3. Fellows in the water room locked the door and ducked the preps on the outside. No one knew who shut the door or threw the water so each one got five demerits. Yeckley amuses the bunch in English C. by writ- ing a very interesting composition on a fish- ing trip in which he is the hero. One sentence ran, “The next morning mother fried father’s and I’s fish. 5. “Fourteen days till vacation, then we’ll go to the station. Back to civilization, the train will carry us there,” are the words to the latest popular airs about Conway. 6. Reception in chapel. Town girls were there in all their glory. The fellows had a great time and all because of the matrimonial bureau agent, Joe. Hertzler. 7. The fellows fill the dates they made before. Now “Hutchie” thinks they will have some other place to go besides the pool room. 8. Yeckley gets back from Mechanicsburg where he was forced to sleep in the station (?) over night.

We are glad he got back safely. 117
