y;V I hardly think the old school
y will ever be the same after the
wonderful victory in Camden on
Saturday. I guess we’re not
proud of ourselves too.. I read in
a Philadelphia paper the next day
that a couple of thousand people
attended the game, the majority
of whom were from Atlantic City.
Of course, we have to allow for
the paper, knowing its tendency to
prevaricate. But it sounds well
even though it wasn’t exactly
2J true. The Gamma Sigma girls
a* will be wearing the high hat for
r awhile. When I arrived on the
scene about an hour late, as usual,
I was informed that I was the
nineteenth sorority girl. Peggy
White came all the way down
from Waterbury, Conn., to see
Camden get licked (at any rate
that’s her story and she sticks to
ft" it). Maxine Kahn and Helen
||5 Wall, who are now residents of
j|§ Philadelphia, came across the
river and added to the excited
greetings already taking place.
I’ll say it was some big chee-hee
afternoon.
We had regular football
weather, too. I never felt so much
like sticking my feet in my pocket
before. However, Macbeth, our
y . worthy mascot, seemed to stand
the strain on both his mental and
physical organs just like a major.
H He was the picture of calmness
; ; throughout the game. It took
more than a score of 17-0 to get
his goat.
My Diary
By Dorothy Kahn
But here’s another consider-1
ation. I have to admit that inci
dentally the team played a good
game. Yet, without certain ele
ments I am not so sure that the
victory would have been ours.
The first of these was the parade
down Atlantic Avenue before
leaving town. Main Street was a
sight fit for the king as the wild
and unruly mob wended its way to
the station. Then there was the
Firemen’s band. I think an
honest to goodness A. C. H. S.
student could be roused from the
grave by the sound of a band play
ing the latest jazz selection. An
other element was Anne Granan’s
raccoon coat, which a little birdie
told me she just got. Somethihg
else which I noted as an import
ant factor was the faculty’s rep
resentative, Miss Rhodes. I
strained my eyes but she appeared
to be the one and only. Of course,
I absolutely couldn’t forget the
cheer leaders, who gave the
Camdenites something to think
about. Great Scott! I’d better
stop talking about the game soon
or I’ll be so far gone that I won’t
be able to.
Tuesday—November 27
The first of our Thanksgiving
visitors arrived on the scene to
n \ day, William Shedaker, Esq.
; From all appearances Bill was
quite the hero. I saw him looking
sublimely happy while a fair, but
dumb member of the weaker sex
fed him ice cream and cake. The
funny part of it is that it was
obvious that she was taking this
kind act on her shoulders to quiet
the dear boy. She had a sneaking

| feeling that he might become
violent at any second. In fact I
thought so myself after catching
. sight of his sweater. I sure would
love to describe it—but, just try
and do it. As for material, it
struck me as being flannel. As
for the color, well, the only thing
it reminded me of, was a dish of
I strawberry and chocolate ice
, cream with a little pistachio
mixed in and the whale concoction
in that state in which it is ac
customed to be after standing
some time, ooshy? mooshy. Yep,
Mr. French’s office had quite a
festive appearance all day, thanks
to Bill, who spent much of his
time there.
We heard some adorable news
today. We only have half session
tomorrow. That gives us-a head
start for our vacation. I heard
Worthington Post say that he jyas
going to New York over the holi
days. He’s expecting to take in
a couple of good shows while there.
Then, Morgan Read is going to
New Brunswick. He didn’t con
fide in me enough to tell me what
he was going to take in. I think
he’ll be safe at any rate. Anyone
who has the task of composing a
volume of poetry has 'a certain
amount of dignity, I suppose,
which we mortals can fathom only
with difficulty.
Speaking of dumb-bells, 11
thought I was the only one of my
kind. I met my Waterloo today,
though. We had to make out
slips with our names nad- tele
phone numbers on them. All of a
sudden I heard a shy but sweet
voice speaking directly in my ear.
I gazed upward and saw the beam
ing visage of Mary Polites.
“Listen Dot, will you please tell
me my telephone number?” The
fact is that I almost broke, my
arm when I patted my back—I
can’t blame myself for feeling
elated when affairs reach such a
state that I am able to remember
my own number and someone’s
else in the bargain.
, I must have been dreadfully
sleepy on Monday night because
I neglected to tell about my would
be-attempt to interview A1 Jolson.
Another good idea gone wrong.
I had heard that Jolson was very
temperamental and for that rea
son-1 thought it would be thrilling
to interview him. I also heard
that he was rarely interviewed.
Of course this doubled the thrill.
Well, I had an appointment with
him at eight o’clock, and from
eight o’clock until twenty minutes

after, I stood patiently waitini
while he sat -in the box offic
serenely smoking a cigar. At th
expiration of this time I was ir
formed by his secretary that b<
cause it was Mr. Jolson’s birthda
as well as his opening night her<
it would be impossible for me t
speak to him. Of course I Isnox
just as much about him as thoug'
I had interviewed him, naraelj
that Atlantic City is the best plac
in, the world, that he would rathe
play to our audiences than an;
other in the universe, that th'
flapper of today is no worse thai
her grandmother was, etc.
through the interminable ques
tions which go to make up an in
tervjpw. Then, too, it isn’t every
body who can watch A1 Jolsor
smoke a cigar and be under the
impression that she is going t<
interview him. Oh, I’m the origi
nal Pollyanna. I didn’t want tc
interview him anyway. OH, NO!
I heard today that Marior
Moore will be home the day before
Thanksgiving. She’s gone bul
not forgotten since she goes t<
St. Mary.’s Hall, at Burlington
One thing that I will say for hei
she does write pretty regularly
[ suppose she’ll be\ at the Phi De
iance on Thanksgiving night s<
I’ll see her there.
Yesterday the Eclessia held iti
meeting in Miss Foren’s room. T
looks as though the work for th<
season was really started nov
when the Forum and Eclessia be
?in Having their contests. Thii
first one is going to be held 01
January 14th, in the auditorium
and will be on the subject, “Treat
ment of the American World Wa
Veterans.” From what I was abl
to gather the rules will be th
same as last year, that is, ther
will be five chosen to represen
each organization, and these wil
study the question from all angles
On the day of the contest each wil
be given a subject on which he wil
speak' from tljree to five minutes
The contest is called “impromptu.
I certainly do want to make tha
team. We are going to try-ou
next Monday and can prepare ;
topic on any phase of the subject
I have always* made it a poin
to put all things of great interes

;, to the public ip this Diary. But
e this news is going to take the
e cake. Here it is and I’m almost
- afraid to spring it all at once.'
- Harvey Fenner is still in school
/ and is the picture of sublime in
i, nocence and Mother’s darling boy.
j I’m taking chances by writing this
r as I might break the spell and
1 that would be fatal. The wonder
, of it all is that we have many
; more rules to break this year than
■ ever before and yet Harvey has
’ apparently broken none. Oh, yes,

’ Wednesday—November 28 x
I’m still wondering how I ever
. managed to survive the day.
What is more nerve-racking than
the day before Thanksgiving?
The day after, I suppose. But
nevertheless, if we didn’t have
half session I feel assured that I
would- have been carried out on
a stretcher. Even the teachers
seemed to keep an eye and a half
on fhe clock and in study hall Miss
Cheyne'y let us talk a whole period
and didn’t even call us Freshmen
once.
Speaking of freshmen reminds
. me of a most unpleasant incident'
i which occurred last week. We
were all to be examined by the
, nurse and it was my luck to be
. called from a studyhall in which
[ the majority are freshmen. Well,
the nurse meant well enough, but
she sure put her foot in it. When
. we arrived there were eight of us.
, She asked the first three what
they were and they all replied,
! “freshmen.” She then glanced
. down the line and said in accents
, low and liquid, “Oh, so you’re all
, Freshmen?” And I thought I was
j just beginning to look real seniory,
t too. That was the blow that
[ killed father. ;
. And now, Diary, I’m going to j
1 close, and unless I eat a little too i
[ much turkey or'something, 111 bell
. with you again on Monday. i

LESTER
PLAYER PIANO
And when you buy a
player-piano, be sure to
look to its quality. That’s
why so many particular
people will have nothing
but a Lester.
- ♦
Notwithstanding its admitted superiority,
its rich, sweet, mellow tone, its easy action,
and great durability, it is as easy to own a
Lester as one of the inferior "assembled"
or *stenciled" makes. Don’t think of
buying a player-piano until you see how
easily you can have a Lester.
