The Junior class had its picture taken. A large class in numbers, that’s all. Water fell on them like rain as a result Feller was rough- housed. A great deal of pepper was thrown which caused some amusement and tears. 1. B. Still starts to school again. Makes it nice for Hosie. 2. 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. He could not leave her in time to catch the train Reindollar got balled up on his trip home from Reading. He took the wrong train and had to walk several miles. Then he took the wrong street car. We are glad he got back safely. 117
