'N.W.S.A. g The Diary of Hiram Stepfast, Esq. CEditor's Note: This interesting dairy was found only a few days before we went to press. Its value is so great that it is being given a permanent place in the Aggie. Little did our friend Hiram dream of his notes and meditations going down to pos- terity, and in his almost daily musings one gains an insight, not only into his simple mind, but into the life at N. W. S. A. So, as you read these lines bear in mind that Hiram wrote seriously that he might have a remembrance of his school days. No doubt he misses his diary keenly, but his loss is our gain. It is printed just as it was written by Hi.j Sept. 29-Well, I'm on the train now. Laft home at five this mornin. I sort er hated to leave and when I saw my pet caf looking at me so soleful i thot id break down. But I didnt. Guess its quite a way to Crukstun at the Nortwast Skole. P. M.--Arrived hear alrite. at 3 oclock. A big red bus met me. My what a lot of peple got on that bus. A feller asked me for my trunk chek.

There was a lot of people wating for mister Maliner. Their were so many that I had to wate an awful long time. Gee, but I get tired. When my turn at last come Mister Maliner reiestered me and gave me some- thing he called a skedule and told me klasses would start to morrow. He told me i a froshmen.
