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-

5. The Junior girls were sure tickled today. Grace Weir helped Aimee Core carry the Senior caps from the Hall in a suitcase. I ’ll bet she didn’t know it. 6. Wonder how old Nell Jacobs really is. The Senior girls had a spread for her in honor of her birthday, but she wouldn’t tell her age. 7. The orchestra played at chapel today. Say, but that Freshman boy who plays the cornet is good-looking. 8. I’m so mad. Why couldn’t we have beaten Carthage instead of just holding them to a tie score? That old football team makes me tired. If they would all play like one fellow does they wouldn’t have tie games all the time. 9. Didn’t get up in time to go to church. Went down the “K line” this afternoon with some girls, and who do you think we saw together? Hattie and Harold McCargar. 10. They must not have finished their date yesterday. They took another stroll this P. M. 11. Everybody is getting ready for the Thanksgiving banquet. All the dressmakers are overloaded with work. Don’t think I will have to get anything new. 12. Sang 409 in chapel. Almost time for another football game. 14. Lost again. Pella got nine scores and we only got seven. Aimee Core told me that the Editor of the Croaker had gone to Iowa City to get some new material. Wonder if the Seniors will swipe it when it comes. 15. Dr. Schell blessed the men working on the roof in his prayer this morning. Some of the girls in Dr. Lymer’s classes did too. Wish I had a class under him so that I could get out once in a while. 16. Got up too late for church. Coach Beal was worse than I was for he almost missed his dinner. Aren’t his eyes swell though? Wish he would tell me about HER.
