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.

5. Delegation left for the State Oratorical Contest at Des Moines. Wouldn’t it be fine if Stanley could win this year? 6. Hurrah! Stan won the State Contest. Viola was so happy that she cried. Nearly all the girls left the Hall after we got the report but Miss Rader didn’t want them to. Some of boys hauled boxes from down town with Mr. Laut-erbach’s wagon, and we 5y.%tc had two big bonfires on the campus. Some of the girls were awful mad because their men didn’t come out to celebrate. 7. Had a big “Pep” meeting at chapel. Classes dismissed for the rest of the day. Everybody met 178 to see the people from the contest. The men with purple and white sweaters hauled Stanley and his father all around up town in a purple and white carriage. It was awful muddy but we all waded through it. Enjoyed every minute of the celebration, had a date part of the time. 8. The smoke from the bonfires is nearly all cleared away. Heard today that they were going to take up a collection to pay Mr. Lauterbach for his wagon. 9. Julius Winters’ band gave a concert in the chapel. One of the men looked like he was trying to swallow his horn, but Fimmen said that he was playing a slide trombone and it just looked that way. 10. I guess Parsons feels sort of squelched, for their man only got fifth place in the state. 11. Think Dr. Leist is going to crack another joke some day. Saw his mouth giving indications of mirth in chapel. 12. The Croaker Staff passed around slips in chapel for us to sign if we wanted a Croaker. 1 ordered a leather one. Bet they won’t get any jokes on me. 13. The Sophomores had their Preliminary Debate tonight. School is an awful grind. 14. Someone here from Galesburg today. Went to Quo Vadis in the afternoon. At night we didn’t. My, but I had a good time. When we were at Westfall’s Dr. Schell came in with Miss Rader and Miss Baldwin and sucked straws with the rest of us. 15. Sunday. Went down the “K line” today. Saw Mr. Truitt and Hazel down on the second bridge.
