Diary of Richard Phillips.
(For the Week Ending September 10,
1922)
September 4, Monday.
T got up this morning about eight
o’clock, ate breakfast, and went to
school. The very first thing Mr.
Cowles did when he saw me was to
ask me to make a talk. I wasn’t ex
pecting anything like this, so all I
oouid do was to tell them about how
inspiring it was to look into their
bright and happy faces, and to assure
them that we wouldn’t have to use
such harsh methods to enforce our
rules as we did last year. I was then
made room teacher of the ninth Latin
class. Although I knew that this
was an ignorant bunch. I felt ob
liged to take it. I then had Ham.
Hargrave and Dick Walser to dis
tribute the book lists. After this was
finished I dismissed all the class ex
cept Van Miller whom I was compell
ed to detain a few minutes on account
of misbehavior, but this Interview
lasted only a very few minutes.
September 5, Tuesday.
To-day, being Tuesday we had cur
rent events. They were all told very
nicely until I called on Hazel Taneas-
ter. He rose, stood for a long time,
and then, after refering to a small
piece of paper about a dozen times,
it came to him; “A Florida paper says
the moonlight in that state is so bright
that the owls are dying of insomni.a.”
September 6, Wednesday.
A very interesting little instance oc
curred today as I was trying to beat
something into the class about sen
tences. I asked if anybody in the
class could give a .sentence with a sub-
.iect and without a predicate. Roscoe
F.ai’abee said he could. “How about
Thirty days?’’
September 7, Thursday.
I got up this morning not feeling
very well but went to school any
way. As 1 was going to school I met
Cloyd Philpott. I could see he was
sore about something, and when I
asked him what it was he said that
1 hadn’t treated him right yesterday
when I borrowed his knife to sharpen
my pencil to give him a demerit.
September S, Friday.
Nothing interesting happened in
.school today but as I was walking
home with Mr. LePevre, I asked him
how he was getting along while his
wife was away. “Fine,” he said. “I’ve
reached the height of efficiency. I
can put my socks on now from either
end.”
September 9, Saturday.
Nothing very Important happened
today until tonight. I had a date
with Miss Elizabeth Brown, but she
broke it when she found out that a
gentleman friend of hers was visit
ing here from Mississippi.
September 10, Sunday.
I got up this morning, went to
Sunday School, and took Miss L. Wal
ker to church. After taking her home
1 spent the balance of the evening out
of town. By dark I was ready to re
tire untii the beginning of the next
school week.
RICHARD PHILLIPS, ’25.
Oil For a Poem.
Or feats my hero to do
Next should be my heroine.
With beauty and much good looks,
.lust such a great heart smasher.
As you often And in books.
We surely want a villain,
To cause a catastrophe.
And then will come the hero.
And rescue the maid, you see.
How in the world, please tell me
Am I all this to make i hyme.
And write a poem of greatness
Which will stand the test of time.
So I shall be a quitter
And leave it for you to do.
If you write one worth reading,
1 sho’ will hand it to you!
ELIZABETH DAVIS, ’2 4.
It has been reported that Santa
Claris has a large number of dolls,
alphabet blocks, “too-too” trains, and
other toys in store for the Freshmen
this year.
WANTED—SOME ONE WHO CAN
beat Miss Brown at talking.

A poem I want, but great heavens.
How can I write one to-night.
I haven’t a thought in my system.
Which will give you much delight.
Now- first I must have a subject,
Vv'hich w-ill thrill you thru and thru.
Then I must have adventure.
