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.

15. That tall, good-looking professor who sits in the middle of the back row at chapel got up real early this morning to play tennis with the music teacher, the one who always sings “Amen.” I didn’t get up to watch them but some of the girls told me about it. 17. Went to Hypatia Literary meeting this afternoon, and finally decided to join. Hope they won’t put me on the program very often. 18. The football team went to Lombard today and held them to a tie score. How I wish they had won! I know he played a good game anyway. Am going home at 3:20. 19. Had a fine date last night. Gee! but I’m sleepy. Going to have another date tonight. Almost wish I wasn’t going to school. Those boys there are so backward. 20. Am going to use a toothpick to keep my eyes open. Had to leave early so had to say good-bye last night. 21. The Senior class were going to have an outdoor picnic yesterday but it snowed so they had to stay in Hamline Hall. The girls said they had a fine time. 22. Went to classes this morning and really studied this afternoon. Dr. Rommel gave a Recital this evening and it took him thirty-five minutes to play one number. I sure was glad I didn’t go, as I was awfully sleepy. 24. Sang Hymn No. 409 at chapel this morning. The football team plays Des Moines tomorrow. 25. We had hard luck again today. Lost the game to Des Moines. Wish I had been there. Maybe we would have won then. 26. Most all the girls in the Hall went down the “K line” this afternoon. Harold and Esther went, you may be sure. Some of the other Freshman boys had nerve enough to get dates, too, but I had to go with some other girls.
