29. Didn’t do anything today except clean house and study. Wish the folks could see me studying awhile. They always said I couldn’t. But what else is there to do? I never saw such backward boys as the ones in our class. No one has even asked me for a date yet. 30. At last one of those backward boys got up a little nerve. Harold and Esther took a walk today. Found out that Dr. Leist doesn’t allow gum in his class, lie’s as bad as the teachers at home. OCTOBER 1. Dr. Schell raised money in chapel this morning to pay for a drum for the College Band. The fellow who has been playing cjuarterback in practice is going to leave school. Wish I could play football. Did not go to Prayer Meeting this evening. 2. Gee! but I’m sore today. Had four classes this morning and got bawled out in two of them. Those horrid teachers must expect a person to know everything by heart. 3. Went to a picnic at Coles pond. Ruthean Literary Society invited the new girls to a spread, where we got a chance to get acquainted and to join the Literary Society. 4. He’s gone. The football team left for Cornell yesterday evening where they play this afternoon. How I wish 1 could see “him” play! I just know he will make a touchdown. 5. We had hard luck. Cornell got all the scores. A lot of the girls went down the “K” line. Of course all the old girls had dates, but we poor Freshie girls! Why are the boys so slow? 6. We all went to the river this afternoon on a picnic. We Freshmen, I mean. Some of those other boys might be all right, maybe, after you got acquainted with them. We had some swell time around the campfire and then coming home on the hayracks. The Academy had a picnic, too, but I’m sure it didn’t amount 7. The Prof, with the funny black hair told the front row of Juniors he wanted to see them after chapel this morning. This is the first chance he has had to tell them as they have never been to chapel before.

8. Was awfully homesick today. Did not have to study any and didn’t have anything to do. Wish 1 was going to be in Galesburg tonight. Dr. Schell led Prayer Meeting. 9. Went to Y. W. today. An academy girl with a very strong voice sang a solo. 10. Everybody is excited. We are going to have a “pep” tonight, and play Knox tomorrow here at home. Everybody was at the “pep” meeting. Prof. Winters’ band had sufficient “pep” to raise the dead, but could not waken Coach Beal from his nap. 11. Classes are to be dismissed early this afternoon for the game. Rah! Rah! Rah! Zip! Boom! Bah! We won! We won! 17 to 13. “He” made the first touchdown. My, but I was tickled! That tall, awkward end blocked a punt and made a touchdown too. 12. We had the most fun last night. Ilad a spread in Nell Jacobs’ room and the old girls got to telling about experiences that had happened several years ago. One of the girls said that a long time ago some one hauled the “bell” out in a cornfield and left it there. I wish someone would fix it now so that it wouldn’t ring. 13. The big-headed Sophomore class had their picnic today. We girls tried to get some of the hoys to swipe the eats, but they were too slow. The Prof, who stays in the lower room of the noise department took his wife along to act as chaperone. 14. Another picnic today. A part of the Junior class, the Croaker Staff, went out north somewhere. Ralph Campbell took one bunch out in his car, and the rest went out with Ruth Willits in her car. Two of the girls fell in the creek but didn’t drown and one of the other girls fell down. The eats cost them twenty-three cents a head.
