Eureka College September 16, 1940 Dear Folks: lust back from class, so I thought I'd write you a line to let you know I'm still alive. It's awful trying to keep my mind on anything these days. In class I just sit and stare out the window and wonder if I've ever seen the campus, the trees-everything-as beautiful as it is this year. The leaves are gorgeous-lack Frost certainly did himself proud when he got out his paint brush and went to work this fall. And the sky! Well, I suppose it is just as blue at home, but it certainly never looked as blue as it is here. The stars have never been so bright, the moon so yellow, the weather so perfect. CPerhaps I feel these things more this year because I'm a senior, but they certainly are under my skin these days.l Mother, you would like to see the lawn in front of the Wood. You have always liked it so well, and have always wished our lawn looked so nice. The grass is still green and it shows through among the few fallen leaves. Most of the leaves are still on the trees, though. There are some flowers still blooming in the sunken garden, too, and they make a delightful spot of color over by the I-Iall. I just wish I could tell you more about how the whole campus looks and how beautiful it is, but I never was able to rave on very much. I guess my grade in Rhetoric proved that! Some of the prettiest spots of color on the campus are the new plaid skirts and the bright colored sweaters the girls came back with this fall. Most college girls do wear sweaters and skirts, you know, and the Eureka girls are no exception. They prove the point, if anything. The boys aren't doing so bad with their color schemes this year, either. I hope this weather lasts for a couple of weeks. We want it nice for Homecoming. The alums like to come back while the leaves are still on the trees, for they say-they always remember how beautiful the trees on the Eureka campus are in the fall. We want to remember that, too. Well, here I've been going on all this time and haven't told you a thing about myself. I guess you'll know by this, though, that I am well and happy and am enjoying myself. Love, Margaret -5-

Our traveling man is lames Hagan, who visits the high schools to find the students who will join us next year. Dr. Tandy teaches our economics courses, and he really gets his students to study.
