And We G0 0n With a Matehless Student Year Governor Landon on Campus-Football Queen and Her Retinue-Season's Activities-Student Pranks and Practices-The Green Caps. Freshman week began with the tra- ditional greetings from the President and other college officials followed by speeches and a tour of the campus. Al- though some doubt was expressed it was believed that by the end of the nine weeks the numbering system would be well enough impressed on the minds of the froshs so that .they could find their classrooms without a question. S0 the evening of the first day, the green cappers were given a chance to find out who each other were without the in- terference of any of the dignity which an upperclassman might demand. Games and songs occupied the hours of the youngsters while the oldsters re- newed acquaintances, compared vaca- tion experiences, and swapped choice bits of gossip. Not at all lacking in the conversations were comments on the new football field as well as on improve- ments in Sharp, Fahnestock, Arnold, and Kline. Enrollment, that time where you de- cide what classes to cut during the se- mester, was somewhat lightened for the new girls by the aid of the campus sist- ers who did everything from telling the faults, weaknesses, and merits of the contemplated courses to introducing the campus shieks to them. In an attempt to revive them after the ceremonies, whatever they may have been, they were given a tea and wafer shindig. To com- plete the week, the whole school joined of games, amateurs, Even though the rather professional, Seeing the new Ph. in for an evening and watermelons. amateurs were everyone enjoyed Dls and otherwise lettered personages of the faculty throw off their hitherto closely guarded dignity. One of the most enjoyable of all facul- ty receptions was held in the church parlors September 16. Made memorable by its arrangement for convenience for conversation and a general good time. We saw some fellows with a coat and tie on for the first time. He who laughs last has usually just seen the joken does not always hold true. For example we cite the night the fellows had a stag to the show and a Female stag party beat them there. The flash of colors and the shrieks of voices and general pandemonium scenes seen and heard on the streets of our fair village September 25 was not a mad house on vacation, but rather the stu- dents of M. C. so full of pep that they had to let steam off. After meeting east of the gym for the prologue the scene was shifted to the streets and hence to the show. The epilogue fre- treat to the abodes of the various parti- cipantsj dispelled any and all mistaken ideas that anyone might have had about Kansas being dry. In honor of the new athletic field, fond mammas and papas were seen scur- rying McPhersonward along about Oc- tober 18. The very full day was begun by an address especially for the visitors Cstudents were allowed to attend by special permissionj by Rev. C. E. Davis of Independence.

Q From Page 145 noon and Dr. Bright refereed the ban- queting at night. ln the evening all hearts were in rhythm with the beat of the drum, spirit soared and excitement ran high as the seven bands passed in review. Governor Alf Landon won a special place in the hearts of the entire audience by his well stated address which was timely in its brevity. Dust, dust, dust! But this time it was not one of the famous removals of earth from one section of the country to the other, merely from the interior of Fahne- stock to somewhere on the exterior. But really, we never realized that boys had such good judgment in arranging fur- niture, pictures and bedclothes in rooms. Careful observation was necessary to de- termine which movie actress dominated the several hundred pictures in each room. Odd characters from other lands and centuries were seen running around for the whole day. After due examination and questioning it was determined that they were really not foreigners, but were the initiates of the Thespian Club. My, didn't Uriah Heps look mean? VVon't you buy a Quad? Bought your Quad yet? Vote for . . . . Such were the cries heard in the dorm, in the dining hall, between classes in the halls, in fact everywhere. Why? A queen was in the making and votes were needed to make her. The final ballot showed the beautiful blond senior, Lil- lian Peterson to be queen. With all pomp and ceremony, due honor was given the queen and her attendants at the Swede game. The alumni organi- zation entertained the football boys and the queen and her attendants at a goose dinner after the game. Ah, home cooking for a change! The families living on the campus entertain- ed all the dorm kinds for Sunday dinner. Oh, we had chicken and noodles.
