 tn l K]|'x A CHRONOLOGY September—“When did you get in? Did you have a good summer? Have you seen Jim or Mary yet?” You are hack at Temple. Temple started this year with a record enrollment. October The Sophs try to discipline the greenest of Frosh, hut are taken hack by the energy shown by the aforesaid Frosh in the Tug-of-War. Football season at home opens with a glorious victory over our rivals, Lebanon Valley. November— Football season continues very successfully. Another line drive begins with the opening of the Russell H. Con we II Foundation Campaign. Temple co-eds show their athletic ability at the first Penn-Temple all sports day. Thanksgiving vacation was enjoyed. December- -Temple court team opens season with two noted victories, upsetting all records by trouncing Princeton in a close court tilt, 28-26. Everyone counted the days to Christmas; there was the usual rumor that vacation would start a couple days earlier than scheduled, but the Dean placed little or no faith in the story. January Bull sessions took on a new and more vigorous lease on life in the Frat houses and the dormitories. Exams are the favorite topic of conversation, as we wonder what question Prof. Whosis is going to ask in that exam. February The second semester begins with a grand opening of the city campaign in the Conwell Foundation drive. All the girls start being extraordinarily friendly as rushing season opens. The co-ed basketball team trounces N. Y. U. in a fast tilt. March—Cherry and White naiads win intercollegiate championships, from a fast field, just nosing out N. Y. U. by 28-26, and so retain their swimming title. Julc Custer starred on an all-star team. April -After the Faster recess we settled down to some good thorough sleeping again. The Ccrcle Franyais Play, and the Pan-Hellenic Dance were the big social activities, making the young man’s fancy turn to dates, blind or otherwise. May The nicest thing about May is that it comes so close to June, the end of the student’s scholastic and fiscal year. The Junior Prom made the reputation of being the best Junior Prom ever. June The approaching final exams bother us a little. The Seniors bid a fond good-bye and go out into that proverbially chilly world. They are to be congratulated. To those who have a few more years left at Temple, they advise taking advantage of the things this University has to offer and not to take more than eight cuts in that six-cut class. Page Six
