Dec. 18, 1923: Finals are here-now! I've crammed until I'm dizzy.
I hereby solemnly swear to keep my work up to date next term! I busted twice
today and expect to bust three times tomorrow.
Dec. 19, 1923: Finished busting and left for home. I'll not have "a brain
cell working" any more this year. Christmas holidays!
Jan. 1, 1924: I'm back and going through the same old lines in the same old
way. Mv New Year's resolutions are: (1) I am not going to have the measles.
(2) I am going to keep up with my work and maybe study a little harder, too.
(3) I will not go car driving.
Jan. 18, 1924: We Fish dressed up to meet classes today, and everyone
thought it a joke and called us "hoboes." Just because our boys were dressed
up, it was no sign they couldn't fight, as the Sophs soon discovered. I guess they
realize our importance now and will hereafter recognize our superiority.
Jan. 25, 1924: The Seniors are copy-cats! Not a one of them would have
thought of running around in their "square tops" and robes if they had not seen
us on "hobo" day. Three adjectives can now be used in describing us. The
Freshman class is the "largest, peppiest, style-startingest" one in college.
March 7, 1924: I intended to keep up in my work this term, but I didn't;
so I have parked in the library for the last three days. My friends are asking me
if I've changed my boarding place, and if I'm digesting Literary Digests for food.
March 11, 1924: Finals! Finals! I'll die yet.
March 12, 1924: Finals again today! They are not even funny any more.
March 12, 1924: Rianbow party tonight. Pink was the dominant color,
which, of course, was the dresses of the Freshman girls. It really would "make
your head spin" to watch them.
April 3, 1924: The athletics committee has decided to cultivate the clinging-
vine type of girl in this college, by taking away all inter-collegiate athletics for
girls. Tacky! No more college life for me! Here's hoping this will be a tem-
porary decision. Feelings are high! The girls are rising!
June 1, 1924: The last finals are here. We are Fish no longer. We can
now look down upon our successors as we have been looked down upon. We
hope they will maintain the dignity of the Freshman class.Seventy-four
