CANON BOY SAYS FRESHMEN
HAVE GOOD TIMES PROVIDING
AMUSEMENT FOR the UPPER
ClASSMEh At COLO. COLLEGE

Quite a bunch of Canon City boys
and girls are attending Colorado Col
ege at Colorado Springs this year.
One of the boys has written his home
folks about the joyful experiences of
a freshman. The letter has fallen in
to our hands, and as this boy was
carrier for The Daily Record last year
and accustomed to our taking liber-
ties with him we are taking the lib
erty of publishing his letter. 1t is
rather personal but interesting.

Dear Family:
Still having fine time. My left leg
is little game and my knees are
skinned and my elbows cut up and
my shins little sore on account of
scrap we had with the Sophs. You
see we are supposed 10 break up the
Soph banquet If possible and they
said they had it Friday night and we
didn't hear about it so We had to have
a scrap with them this morning. Now
we have good reason TO believe that
they didn't have a banquet at all and
so we will have TO break up their ban
quet when they have it and lick them
again after it.
We Freshmen sure lead hard life.
something like the Roman gladiators.
Whenever the upper classmen want a
little amusement they tell the student
commission about it an dthe student
commission decides to promote q fight.
They ditch chapel and hang the Soph.
colors in tree. When we come out
everybody holIers. 'go get 'em Fresh" "
Then we go and the Sophs. come and
we roll around on the grass that has
been irrigated by the seniors. Pretty
soon we have all of the Sophs. down
and beginning to see the bright side
of the ganre- when the seniors want a
little more action and pull the Fresh.
off of the Sophs. and say sic en-
Thus we keep it up until the crowd
begins to lose interest and then we
may go 10 classes or to bed. 1t seems
to me that we are here to amuse the
others.
Last year when the Sophs. had their
banquet at the Alamo. the Fresh. got
on 10 1t and went down to break it
up. A cop tried to stop them and they
took his club away from him and went
in to the hotel. They had little
rough house and tore down par
tition and broke up the banquet. This
is just. TO let you know what we are
supposed to do. TIL tell you we are
going TO show the Sophs. good time
when we get organized.
Sunday night | went over to the
Beta house to sing Had a fine time
and came home at nine and went to

Remember Little kindnesses.

Cultivate a memory for kindnesses.
Too many of us are inclined to accept
small courtesies and kindnesses as a
matter of course, and for that reason
they make so little impression upon
us that they are soon lost sight of.
The people who seem overlooking with
faith and affection, and who always
have a good opinion of their fellows,
are the ones who find it easy to forget
injuries, but who hold the kindnesses
they have received fast in memory
