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.

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.
