SOME EVENTS OF THE SEPTEMBER Dear Diary: 9 — Now that I ' m starting back to school, I won ' t be able to ad-a-Iine to your pages every day, but will surely hit the high spots. 10 — Nearly five hundred have enrolled thus far. The freshman class of over two hundred composes the largest class m history. II — The freshman girls are a young lookin ' group — with their short dresses, anklets, hair ribbons, and dolls. And the boys have to go barefooted! 13 — The Faculty Recep- tion was very formal — but I did enjoy the cake and ice cream. 15 — There are twelve as- sistants in the English De- partment to care for the frosh; eleven in the Edu- cational Department, and SIX m the History and Po- litical Science Department. Poor freshmen! 17 — Paul Stauffer, that personality boy, was elected senior class presi- dent. 20 — Student Chairman Bcynton, if ycu please. And the Ramblers came out with a Boynton Is Elected banner head-line directly after the election was over. I still don ' t see how they could pubhsh so many papers in such a short time. Fast work! 21 — Sorority rush week ends. Tula Wharton, a new addition to the Music Department (swell gal, too) thrilled us with a Vio- lin Concert last night. 25 — Sammie Saslaw was unanimously elected Jun- ior Class president. He ruled the sophs so well last year that they just couldn ' t get along without him at the helm again this year. 27 — Crimson Club sold tags today. The proceeds are to send the band to the Louisville football game. They also sponsored a dance tonight, and boy! do my feet hurt. THE COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE And ye sh-ill go forth and preach,

TRANSYLVANIA DAY • Transylvania Day at Transylvania College is a spring celebration which is similar to that of a May Day or Spring Festival at another college. • In 1933 the celebration was in the form of a playlet (portraying the lives of famous alumni) presented in chapel. • The 1934 celebration started with a parade of floats sponsored by the organizations on the campus. A Track Meet was held during the afternoon. • But the evening pageant presented on the steps of old Morrison was indeed a clima.x to an eventful day. Miss Transylvania and Mr. Pioneer reigned in a most attractive setting. At the con- clusion of the program a dance was held m the Old Gym. • The 1935 celebration started off to be a sensational dem- onstration but at the last minute the weather did not permit the presentation of the pageant out-of-doors. • However, the spirit of the participants was not downed and the cere- mony was transferred to Morrison Chapel. After which there was a dance in the New Gym. • The program this year is being carefully planned and Lampas is still having penny day every Friday morning after chapel. • Transylvania Day Court on the steps of Morrison — 1935 • LambJa Omega float in 1935 Transyl- vania Day Parade — winner of first prize. » Junior Class float — 1935, winner of second prize.
