3. Ma Lee left today for Champaign. She is certainly a big-hearted girl. The Y. M. and Y. W. had a box supper this evening. It was absolutely amusing to see Mr. Burns make that fellow (1 have forgotten his name), the one that discovered America in 1492, buy a second box, but 1 did feel sorry for him when lie was eating. Both girls were trying to talk to him at once, and feeding him all the time, so that he didn’t have a single chance to say a word. How full he must have been when he got done, with two suppers to take home with him. 4. There are two members of the Senior class that are getting their money’s worth out of the chapel. Laird Ilagie and Ruth Toothacre have one seat that seems to belong entirely to them. Russell Barnett was on time at supper tonight. Did somebody set his watch ahead of time? 6. We got on. Gee! but I’m glad. Stanley gets to represent us in the State Oratorical Contest. 7. We were entertained by the orchestra and “King” in chapel this morning. Whenever the orchestra rested “King” played right on. Dr. Lymer seemed pleased with the work of the orchestra, but not with the efforts of the accompanist. 8. Gosh, but it’s cold. I didn’t get up until John had a good fire going and even then I almost froze. Too cold to go to church. 9. Another girl unable to eat pickles. I hope that I never will have the pesky mumps. 10. Dr. Sternberg was certainly a busy man today. Almost every girl in the Hall was vaccinated. I was vaccinated three years ago and haven’t been able to use the little finger on my left hand since. You don’t catch me trying it again. 31. Elijah and Ruth had a nice date this morning. Elijah told Ruth that he had her valentine all ready for her.
