11. Went to Y. W. this afternoon to hear Mrs. Stevenson. She is a mighty good speaker and leaves many thoughts. Saw Jeff and Anita Crips go upstairs in the main building at the fifth bell. 12. Miss Baldwin mailed a letter today on a mail train. Wonder who to. Jeff and Anita started upstairs again. 13. I don’t understand it. Do you reckon Jeff and Anita are planning to pull off a joke in chapel ? They went upstairs again today. I ’ll bet the joke must be a good one. Believe I’ll watch them tomorrow. Went to the program given by the Zoellner Quartet this evening. The funniest thing happened. Amandus broke a string on his violin and then said something so loud that I could hear him. I thought maybe he would laugh after he said it but he didn’t. 14. Mrs. Stevenson spoke at Sunday School this morning. Then I came home and wrote letters. The weather is so disagreeable that we couldn’t be out very much. Wish it was spring. 15. Tonight the second number on the Lecture Course was given by Dr. George La Monte Cole, but I went to the Pastime instead. My! but the pictures were good. 16. Watched Jeff and Anita all the time until finally saw them starting upstairs. I went up after them, and found that they had gone to Ilamline Hall. Listened quite a while, but found that it wasn’t a joke in chapel they were going to pull off. Miss Ingersoll left for California. 17. Big doings in chapel this morning. All the football men received sweaters. Gee! but they look swell. Dr. Schell made a nice little speech about each one. Wish someone would give me one of the sweaters to wear. 18. Band gave a concert this evening, and the proceeds will go towards buying new music. We girls sure had some time. Tried to get the Winters boy to wink at us, but he would only smile. 19. Packed my trunk this morning and will start for home this afternoon to spend Xmas vacation. Now watch me! I ’ll bet I have a date every night. JANUARY 5. You ought to have seen the trucks at the depot. They sure were loaded down from every train. I’m glad to be back even though I did have such a good time while I was home. Only snowed one night so that I couldn’t have a date. I’m sure sleepy now.

6. Tried to study all day, but made a complete failure. Don’t believe I can ever get to work again. 7. Got my German lesson so well today that I was complimented in class. Believe I could pass for a German if I wanted to. 8. We sure had harmony in chapel this morning. Prof. Johnson was wearing a red necktie, and Flora Baldwin was bedecked in a red dress. 9. We had singing galore this evening. The Men’s Glee Club gave their home concert and they only broke down eight or nine times. Nit. Bill Lodwick, who took the chair off the platform at Morning Sun, had invented a hammerless piano, and when Miss Lymer tried to strike the first chord his invention wouldn’t work. Everything went fine until they fed that Smith fellow Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and after that his voice and the color of his face changed. Poor fellow! I’ll bet he sleeps all right tonight. 10. Eva Wilson was the lucky girl today. She had a date. She went walking. Gee! but she was tickled. 11. Eva must have had another date this morning. She was late for Sunday School. The Men’s Glee Club sang in church. John Davis was the only one that wasn’t there. Suppose he had to sing a solo at one of the other churches. 12. Somebody found a Beta pin in the Hall this morning. Karl Melcher’s name was engraved on the back so I imagine they will find out who lost it. 13. Tonight the members of the Glee Club are to be entertained by Dr. Rommel at the Brazelton. Jeff is the only invited guest. He seems to be a privileged sort of fellow around here. 14. A man came in on the train this morning and was going out to the State Hospital. He got his directions mixed and came out past the College. When he got to the Conservatory he started to turn in, thinking that it was the Hospital. 15. Had a big student recital this evening at the Conservatory. I didn’t care to go, so stayed at home and studied.
