It was held October 18, 1939, in the new gymnasium, which was decorated with weird fig- ures to give the atmosphere the right effect. A program was given with all the Sophomores par- ticipating. Along with this program were given many prizes for such as the funniest, cleverest, and prettiest masked. After the chairs were re- moved from the floor, behold a miniature car- nival took place in which everybody took part in trying his skill against the many games, bingo, baseball, fishing in the fishpond and others. In the late hours everybody disappeared, but the Sophomores who were well satisfied because it was a success. The Sophomores wish to thank all who helped to make their carnival a success.

Yes, that ' s where we are. And to Vicky ' s dismay she finds that she wishes very earnestly that she was else- where. After throwing a bottle of ink at the handsome professor in class that day she has come to his grandparents ' home, with whom he lives, to apologize to him. While there she takes part in a plot to get the professor married so that he can become dean of the col- lege. Grandma gets all the prospects together at a dinner party. Vicky and John are also there. The girls try hard to catch the pro- fessor that night, but fail, so Grandpa decides to play his cards. By telephone calls he influences the three girls into thinking that they are to elope with Keats the next night. And what an eloping party! Three girls and one man. John, dressed as Lulu, his deserted wife, comes to his rescue with three of the neighbors ' children, whom he has adopted. All are dumb- founded. Valerie, the Southern gal, decides to stick to the college boys. Tootsie will be well taken care of by Boggins, the butler, and John (now reinstated as a man) finds that he needs Priscilla as his wife. After they have left, the professor finds that he will have no one but Vicky for his wife, even though she is a little spitfire.

At first these 29 freshmen seemed to be lost all the time but toward the end of the semester they became settled in their ways and seemed to know their way around. They elected these officers: President, Dean Eckhart; Vice- President, Marrion Rimmel; Secretary-Treasurer, Nellie Houser. Page twenty
