29. Went to the Preliminary Contest tonight. Stanley Newell won first place, and will represent the school this year. 20. The funniest thing happened today. When Prof. Fimmen started to leave the table this noon, he put his napkin in his pocket. Poor fellow! how he blushed when we laughed at him. DECEMBER 1. Today was “lazy” day for everybody except the grinds. I didn’t do anything except help clean up the room. We went to the Pastime tonight. I didn’t have a date though. 2. My, but it was cold this morning. Awfully slippery too. Met the walk coming up twice on my way to chapel. 5. Girls’ Glee Club was selected and organized today. Several of the girls were surprised that I did not get. to sing. But I know the reason why. I don’t worry. I’d rather sing popular songs anyway. 6. Had my ticket reserved for the Zoellner Quartet entertainment this evening and then they didn’t come. Several of we girls went to the hypnotic show, and we sure had some time. Tried to get Grace Weir to be hypnotized but she said, “You don’t catch me getting down on my knees proposing to some man. ’ ’ 7. So cold this morning that I had to stay in bed to keep warm. Was sleepy anyway so didn’t care whether it was cold or not. Took a little walk this afternoon, but didn’t see anybody I knew. Everybody’s gone home over Sunday. 8. Quite a few of the girls from the Hall went to Burlington today. Romeo and Juliet is to be presented. Profs. Blair, Koch and Johnson also went down to see the play. I couldn’t go although I wanted to very much. Thought maybe I would get a chance to ride up from Burlington with some one if I were down there. 9. Prof. Blair spent the entire class hour telling how he liked the play. He said the actors were not natural in the love scenes. Wonder how he knows. 10. Shopped all afternoon, trying to find a suitable Christmas present to take home with me. Will soon have to do some regular shopping. Heard today that Prof. Beal had to dismiss his Physics class some time ago, because the Dean’s private secretary had borrowed his key. Everybody in the class cried because he couldn’t meet, his class.
