October 24, 1940 My arm is so sore tonight I can scarcely write. The doctors from the University were here yesterday and today. I had to be vaccinated for small pox and had to go over there early this morning to have the doctor look at it. Anyway, mine certainly “‘took’’; there’s no doubt about that. November 11, 1940 What a blizzard! I can’t remember any storm that compares to the one we had today. We couldn’t even see the buildings on the campus. The boys from Junior Hall and the other dormitories all joined hands and formed a “human chain’’ to get over to the Dining Hall to- night. No one was allowed to go out of the buildings tonight. I don’t think anyone would want to, anyway. I’m sure I wouldn't. December 14, 1940 Tonight I went to the Advanced Class Play, ‘““The Enemy’. It was a play about war and made me realize more than ever how terrible war must be. TG hfefecietetebefefeafefefefe-E-fe OEE CEC Eee ree es — = = |

October 21, 1940 Today was the day of the annual Freshman-Junior Field Meet. This is the second year that we’ve had a field meet. Almost everyone was down on the football field to see it, includ- ing the faculty. This year the laurels went to the Junior Class, who won from the freshmen in most of the events. The tug-of-war was the highlight of the whole afternoon. The rope kept breaking. Marvin Hogan and Gordon Van Den Einde were high scorers for the juniors. Mr. Anderson took some moving pictures that I hope we get a chance to see. It was a perfect day for pictures. The weather man is still on our side, and the students are certainly taking advantage of the nice weather while it lasts. They can be seen strolling around the campus or soaking up the sunshine on the Girls’ Dormitory steps at most any hour of the day. I hope that the pic- tures I took today turn out to be good.

It was hard—getting up for an 8 o’clock class this morning. Everyone has been talking about the good times he had over vacation and showing off Christmas presents. Graduation is just twelve weeks off now. I hate to think about all I have to do between now and that time. I have practically the same program as I had last semester, and I lived through that. I suppose I can survive this semes- ter, too. There are about 25 new students here for the second semester. They look as though they were lost today, but it won’t be long before they’ll feel as much at home as the rest of us. I’ve made a New Year’s Resolution that I’m going to try to make the Honor Roll this semester. I have only three more chances. ‘Tomorrow night I start studying!
