November 15- UMy rations have been almost doubled, and my master took me to a shed and weighed me today. Everything is so suspicious that I must be on my guard at all t1mes.' NOVGYHDSI' 16- WI was weighed again today and my master seemed well pleased that the scales registered twenty-four pounds and twelve ounces. All because of my weight, my master placed a tag on my leg, bearing one word WSOLDN. I don't like this a bit, so I will go and get into mischief--no! on second thought, that would do no good, so I just wait for further events.'k November 20- WWell I find that this will be my last entery in this diary because I must leave this place and all my friends today. A strange man is coming to take me awgy, I wonder why? Am I to be his pet? Live in the city? On a farm? I wonder? The answer will never be written here by me, I am leaving-- forever. The strange man is ready to take me away so I must close now 'DIARX'-- And what lays ahead I must wait and see.' P. B. 'I am going to be welcomed into the strange man's family on UThanksg1v1ng Dayu. It is a holiday, I think. It's strange that I've never heard of 'Thanksgiving Dayn before, but it must be a very nice occasion--I wonder?' --Beverly Fettig

xx A,ftSg2E' ,,f,f'1'id' lk i -' i ii I I 'X ,111 I Q MY AMBITION My ambition is a pretty high one. I want to become a priest, and study at St. Meinrad's Seminary. The reason I like St. Melnrad better than any other is, no doubt, because I have been there, and I have seen how wonderful it is. At St. Meinard they have very nice stone buildings, made from stone from their own quarries, They also have a very large farm, and fine dairy cattle. On part of their land is the coal mine that provides all their fuel. Sports are encouragedg they have football and basketball fields, tennis courts, track field, handball courts, and a fine gymnasium. Who would want more! It looks as if sports here is a Big Business. I have met many of the priests and teachersg they are very nice, and that is why I like St. Meinrad. This is Holy Year, so I will pray that I may realize my ambition. --Tom Melvin '52 MY FAVORITE HOBBY Having a hobby is almost a necessity in this day and ageg everybody has one or more. My favorite hobby is collecting pictures of transportation vehicles. In this collection I have cars from the gay nineties up to the end of the first half of the twentieth century. I have many pictures of the horse and buggy days, and many of the various new cars. Under each picture I have the year the car was modeled and the type of car it is. It is a very interesting and enjoyable hobby. When I have company I show them this album. --Shirley J. Fisher '52 3
