Real wintry weather today induced the semi- narians to huddle close to the radiators. Bill Cavanaugh s ears are warmly tucked beneath a tassel-cap during his afternoon walk TUESDAY 27 The record for the season's earliest skating on St. Vincent Lake was broken when Collins and his colleagues inaugurated a very strenuous campaign on the ice. Mr. Butter- bach reported to Manager Collins, demanding a tryout for a position on the hockey team. The monthly meeting of the Mission Society this evening was featured by an lnstructive and entertaining talk by Mr. WEDNESDAY, 28. The Collegians acquitted themselves nobly in their presentation of the Treasure Island and afforded us all an enjoyable evening. Mugsy McGraw did not attend as he is afraid of pirates. THURSDAY, 30. Thanksgiving Day. We have many things to be thankful for-turkey, mince pie, cranberry sauce, and the fact that the Christmas vacation is less than three weeks away. Not even a theological discussion by his messmates could induce Lucas to speak at dinner todayg he was so busy doing justice to the meal.

SATURDAY, 17. The Varsity won a 12-7 victory over the West Virginia Freshmen. It is rumored that the Reverend Prefect had a rather difficult time retaining his seat during the game. SUNDAY, 18. Paul Ethics Cain, bedecked in a blue shirt adorned with spectacles, and carrying a volume of Father john Ryan under his left arm, made an imposing appearance as he en- tered the clubroom. Bob Murphy was there to welcome him. MONDAY, 19. Keown today mistook Gilbert for Bill Brecker and requested a hair-cut. Tom, always ready to oblige, readily consented and set to work. The mowing that resulted was the topic of conversation for several days following. Buechel says that he has seen worse hair-cuts but that he can not recall just where. WEDNESDAY, 21. Cyril Mihalsky underwent an operation for appendicitis at the St. Francis Hospital this morning. We sincere- ly hope that speedy recovery will in the near future, return Cyril to our midst. THURSDAY 22 Mr. Gooley entertaining the premonition that Father Nepomucene was to visit him today, hastily set to work cleaning his room, after weeks of neglect. Imagine Joe's dis- appointment when the Reverend Prefect failed to make an appearance! SATURDAY, 24 St Vincent Football Team closed a very successful season with a victory over the Slippery Rock Eleven. The Coaches, Messrs. Crowe and Edwards, and the players are to be congratulated on their wonderful showing. Paul Giegerich L 114311 :nnmnnm :llli S.-.2 'lmn mn n y . . ' 1 Elllllli 2 n I I
