Lunch in Davis Hall was followed by convocation in the auditorium. September 13-15 Placement tests, physical exams, registration, theatre parties and a few drastic cases of homesicknessf September 1 7 The excitement of attending classes for the first time paled into insignihcance after the auditorium ordeal : each girl was given a generous amount of cold cream in the face . topped off with a shower of smelly talcum: each female head was swathed in yards of Turkish toweling, turban fashion. Boys were decorated with the traditional lipstick insignia and were pictures of sartorial perfection in the gay stripes and bright polka-dots of bulky pajamas. All this beauty was displayed in the annual Snake Dance through the streets of Keyser. The fate of a freshmanf September 21 Girls in fluffy frocks and boys in Sunday best moved valiantly down the faculty reception line at the Student Reception. After the gauntlet was run, the gaiety commenced. October 8 The Sigma Epsilon Chi held the first sorority party, a benefit bridge at Reynolds Hall, which was a success. October 1 5 After a week of elaborate compliments and parties, the excitement culminated in the accept- ance by the sororities of their elated pledges. Wait until Hell Week, gals! The Pasquzno staff presented the first of a series of musical programs by candle-light, a delightful innovation. October 26 Mr. Nuzum, head of the English department, left for induction into the U. S. Army. A guard of honor. consisting of the Three Musketeers, escorted him to the train. We shall miss him? Mrs. Nuzum, who will now sit behind her husband's desk, promises to keep us posted on the progress of Bucky Private. ff f! ff WM School without Major and Buck would not be P.

eafz iafztl H November 6 Ta K . ti , . Congressman Jennings Randolph was the principal speaker at the 'Pi er Homecoming Luncheon today. A tour to show the Alumni improve- -'A if ments on the campus was followed by a late afternoon tea at Reynolds 5, Y' Lf 'f'P Hall. The high-light of events, of course, was the gala Homecoming Ball, 36, QQ' presided over by Dolly Nesselrodt. Miss Catamount V. Her escort was Q 7,9 Ensign William Loy, a former student, home on leave from the U. S. D ' Naval Air Corps. Because of the beau shortage. several damsels turned gallants and squired their best girl to the dance with admirable aplomb--gardenias 'nd everything! November 19 A gay, checkered Gingham Dance was held tonight under the sponsorship ofthe Sigmas. Informal and considerable square fun. November 24 The Phi Sigs and the Sigmas held an informal party at the Blue Jay Tavern, but there was nothing blue about the party. November 25 Thanksgiving! But not enough of either holiday or of our feathered friend! December 3 The Ciammas' skating party proved quite successful, and everyone had a happy, though perhaps Huncomfortablen evening. You'll be hurting! December 1 1 The annual Jingle Bell Hop was a merry, gay affair. Queen Jerry and King Tom presided regally and right royally commanded a joyous evening for the revelers, who will always re- member the occasion as one of Christmas gaiety in a beautiful setting. December 14 The Christmas party at the dining hall this evening continued the holiday festivities. The room was bedecked with evergreens: each table was cleverly decorated: and a hugh spruce tree beautifully adorned was the center of attraction. Everyone had fun, and we once again staunchly believe in Santa Claus. December 17 At last! The Christmas holidays-ten beautiful days, completely free from books and such. We aim to have fun. Merry Xmas, Diary! December 29 Classes resumed today-there are large gaps in some of them. Who extended the vacation and didn't tell the rest of us? Exams are too close for comfort.
