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.

23. Too cold to be out very much. Several people find Hamline and Philo Halls to be very useful this kind of weather. Wonder if Miss Rader advises them to go there. 24. The “K line” train was twenty-seven hours late yesterday. Had to open the draw-bridge on the bridge two miles south of town and then they couldn’t get it shut. 26. Held Y. W. election this afternoon. Jeannette Buck was elected president. 27. Golly! but we had a real speaker in chapel today. He seemed to be wound up, voice, gestures and all, only sometimes the voice and gestures didn’t work together. He lost one word, but found it in a little while on the floor to the right of the pulpit. 28. Prof. Johnson is some politician. Miss Baldwin received some flowers this morning, and then of course she had to take a walk with him in the afternoon, even though she didn’t want to go. MARCH 1. My, but some of the Junior girls were excited today. They found out that an old Prof, by the name of Behymer was to be married today. They wanted to write a letter of sympathy to his wife but Miss Rader wouldn’t let them. 2. The basketball team went to Knox today. They sure will have to go some if they win. Somebody called Maude Calhoun and told her to blow out the arc light on the corner before she went to her room. 3. Knox did win the game last night. They sure have some team. Fern Walker told me today about Prof. Johnson falling off his chair in class one day this spring. I’ll bet he looked funny when he got up. 4. Saw some small things falling out of the lower north window of the Conservatory this morning. Wanted to find out what they were so went over and there under the window was a big pile of chewing gum which had come out of Dr. Leist’s window. Somebody ought to learn to raise chewing gum in the garden.
