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.

13. Last year on the 13th it snowed. 1 had some sled ride all right. Wish they had enough “pep” here to do something like that. 14. President Schell left today looking for a man who had some money and who would give it to the College. I pity the fellow if Prexy ever gets hold of him. 15. Nice enough day for Stan and Viola to take a walk in the afternoon. They usually do. Wish I had someone that I could take a stroll with occasionally. 16. Coach Beal sat at our table for supper. 1 11 bet his girl back home wishes he wasn’t so far away. Wonder if he writes long letters. 17. Got a nice lecture this morning in chapel. Dr. Lymer told us that the trustees were coming tomorrow, and that he wanted everything to happen in its natural order. The girls said that last year some of the Seniors were covered with flour on the day that the trustees came. 18. Trustees were here all right. Everybody sat real quiet and acted as though something was going to happen, hut nothing did. 19. Have studied quite a lot this week. Hope the teachers will appreciate my efforts and give me a good grade. 20. The Juniors and Seniors played their second basketball today. Jeff played some game and the Seniors came out ahead. Howard Goehring said, ‘‘Hush, let’s don’t talk about it.” 21. This was the funniest day. Everything went wrong. It started wrong, when Laird and Ruth didn’t have a date after chapel. Then I tried to eat peas at dinner with my knife and dropped the knife, peas and all on the floor in a juggling act. 22. Well, I guess nobody went strolling today. Almost everybody went home. Say, that Mr. Ballew must have some case on Martha. He has had a date every night since he got acquainted.
