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.

27. Went to the big Carnival tonight. Saw the Bloomquist-Powers menagerie, and heard the “Red-headed Band.” Nell Jacobs went down the “shoot the chutes” and got her picture taken for the Croaker, but I was afraid to try it because “Bill” Campbell fell off and rolled to the bottom. I was afraid they might get my picture while I was rolling down. 28. Prof. Johnson was so tired this morning he could hardly stand. He went down the “shoot the chutes” so many times last night that he was worn out, I suppose. Maybe he fell off. 29. Nearly everybody was at Prayer Meeting this evening. I tried to get Aimee Core and Fern Walker to go with me but they said they had to study. 30. Today was Founders’ day. The Seniors were going to wear their caps and gowns for the first time. Some of them did and some of them didn’t. Air. Jeffrey’s cap and gown consisted of a cap, and John Davis, the only good-looking Senior, wore a sweater coat instead of a cap and gown. I understand now why Fern Walker and Aimee Core had to study last night. But what I can’t see is how the Seniors got the Croaker material so quickly. NOVEMBER 1. My! but we had some game today. Did not beat Monmouth but held them to a tie. Our fellows certainly did fight after the first quarter. Every man on the team was just fine. Went to the open house at the City “Y” tonight. It sure was funny to watch Van Horn and Lee see who could slap each other the hardest. 2. Went to church morning and evening and wrote letters this afternoon. Wish I could have gone home and had a date. 3. Dr. Edwards says this year’s Freshman class is the most awkward class he ever saw. One of the boys this afternoon broke 26 test tubes, 11 flasks, 6 bottles and burned three fingers. It might have been worse. 4. Am all tired out today. Had four classes this morning and one of them was under Prof. Blair. Went to sleep in Chemistry. NOV. 3-
