something to make any normal girl
happy-and there is nothing abnor-
NAL about me when 1t comes to
absorbing happiness. I had a new
dress for the occasion and 1 felt quite
dignified in my ankle length gown.
How funny it is to see the girls on
the campus about noon wearing sport
skirts which cause Grandmother to
shut her eyes and gasp-and then at
night to see the same girls in a party
dress which merely exposes a pair of
slender anklesI But such is the per-
versity of the Flapper.
FRIDAY-Kappa Alpha Theta gave
her formal tonight-and I am so full
Of thrills that L think I'll just have
to get out and perform the Dance of
a Million joys. What can be nicer
than a party where pretty girls in
lovely dresses come laughing and
singing along-and where there are
soft lights and music and dancing?
SATURDAY-The end has come.
The last rushing party has been giver.
and I am still feeling like a gay
balloon at circus! The Delta
Gammas gave charming dinner to-
night and everyone agreed that it was
a fitting climax to this week of beau
decide between these sororities?
Shall I say, "Eenie, Meenie, Miney,
Moe?" just wish it were possible
to belong to them all! All, "'T would
pc easy 10 say We're other dear
charmer away"
The coming week is going to be a
decided reaction and I guess it is a
good thing that we won't be attending
tea and a dinner every day, for most
everyone is beginning to feel a let
down in pep. Also, we're not going
to be able to stay out till eight and
nine o'clock eveningsi We girls in
the Freshman Nursery have to be in
at seven thirty every night except
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And
no mere man ever gets so much as
his nose inside the front door on
school nights. But the rules aren't
half bad-and of course they are
for our own good"
Diary dear, there is nothing like
college life. I just wonder if all the
college folks appreciate its wonders.
1 never want to get old and prosey.
i wish could go to college forever:
I've found out what the greatest
thing in life is. 1t IS being young!
The world is before us-and oh! what
joy there is in living!

CAMPUSOLOGY GOSSIP BY JEANNE.

MONDAY-Diary dear, this life
am leading is the most lovelicious
thing imaginable. Now let me tell
you all about it. This is Rush Week
out at Washburn, and the way things
are going ON this first day makes me
think that by the end of the week we
will all be trailing off to the woods
for a rest curei
This afternoon I had a date with
the musical sorority, and tonight
went to a Delta Gamma dinner. In
between times 1 talked to some Thetas
and some Delta Phi Alphas and if
the ancient Greeks had any harder
times deciding about their Greek
letter clubs than the modern college
girl has deciding which sorority is
nicest-I say Lord pity 'em. Well,
the Sig Alph affair was most charm
ing. Their home is lovely and the
atmosphere is so artistic. 1 decided
right away that if the S. I. AS. want
me I'm going to simply fall in their
arms.
The D. C. dinner tonight was the
dearest thing. Between courses the
girls sang their sorority songs, and
they were SO very clever. You know
everyone is crazy about the D. IS
us good night I thought, 90 wouldn't
it be wonderful to be a D. G."
It's been pouring down rain all day
but even rain can't make me feel
mournful now. Never before have
1 enjoyed living so much-why I be-
lieve I'll go to college all my life and
never get married ana always be a
Freshman. It's such fun!
TUESDAY-I've kicked off my
slippers and I've daubed my physi-
ognomy with cold cream and I'm
trying to come down out of the clouds
long enough to tell you about the
spiffy time I've had today. OH

had the most thrilling informal party.
They gave it in one of Topeka's most

NEED MORE ROOM
Readjustments Made in Topeka
Schools to Relieve Congestion.
School Population Shows a
Gradual Increase, Says Stout.

Establishments in the city elemen-
tary schools and in the high school to
provide classroom facilities for the
large number of new pupils have
practically been completed. Primary
rooms in Sumner, Clay and Potwin
schools are still slightly over crowded.
New teachers were added at Grant
and Lowman schools and one was
taken from Polk school. Furniture in
the high school domestic science din
ing room has been removed to allow
classes to meet in that room.
The Topeka school population has
been gradually Increasing. During the
asst year the increase was per cent.
uaI we can take care of it by adding
a new building every four or five
years. A. J. Stout, superintendent of
city schools, said today, IF there IS
a very great increase in one year. tho,
we will probably have to issue bonds
in order to erect new buildings"
The board of education has pur-
chased several lots in Topeka which
are valuable school sites. New build
ings will be erected on these lots as
the increase in school population de-
mands.
The next new school building will
probably be erected on the property
which was recently purchased at East
Tenth avenue and Lake streets. The
board of education is considering The
erection OIL d one SAilli-
lar to those which are now in use in
the suburban towns near Chicago.
To Build In North Topeka.
Property at the corner of North
jackson and Grant streets in North
Topeka is being reserved for a future
North Topeka junior high school. The
lots at this corner are the highest III
North Topeka and are midway be-
tween Grant and Quincy schools. They
are in the center of the North To-
peka school population, according to
superintendent Stout.
The Potwin school is now crowded
and if the Kenwood addition de-
velopes it will not be able to house
all the school children in that dis
trict. Six lots at the corner of Second
and Buchanan streets will be used as
a site for a new school building when
the increase in population in the Ken
wood district warrants its erection
Six lots between Seventh street and
Eighth avenue on Underwood avenue
are also being reserved for a new
school building.
The new Boswell school which will
be opened next January will be able
to take care of the western develop
ment of the city in the Washburn dis
trict for several years.
| The entire west side of Topeka will
! be redistricted when the new Boswell
school opens, according to Superin-
tendent Stout. Wherever it is pos
sible, children, who have been attend
| ing one school for more than six years
will be permitted to attend that
school until they graduate. The sys-
| tenn is now being used in the case OF
eighth grade pupils, who have moved
out of the school district in which
they have resided during their ele-
mentary school career, so that they
may graduate with their friends.

LOCKWOOD ART EXHIBIT HERE
Paintings Will Be Placed on Display
in Boswell Hall.

A group of twenty paintings by the
Kansas artist. J. Ward Lockwood,
which have been on exhibition for
several weeks at the Findlay Art gal
leries in Kansas City, Mo, are to be
brought to Topeka on September 81,
and will be exhibited, free to the pub
lie. at Boswell Hall, Washburn college.
Mr.. Lockwood recently returned
form an eighteen months period of
study in France, and these pictures
were painted while he was in that
country. They are mostly lanscapes
or bits of street scenes in old French
towns They have received much no
tice and favorable comment from the
Kansas City press.
Just prior to his going to France,
Lockwood was art editor of the Cap
per publications in Topeka. Before
coming to Topeka he was a widely
known commercial artist in Kansas
City and the designer of the official

and each marker is to carry a bronze
tablet bearing the names of those res
idents of the county who gave their
lives during the world war
A standardized design for the
county markers has already been
adopted, as depicted in the accom-
panying picture. The design was
made under the direction of DR..
Thomas Roberts, curator of the 20
illogical museum of the University of
Minnesota.
The women of five counties on the
Victory highway have started cam
paigns for the collection Of funds for
the placing of the county markers.
Shawnee county women were the first
to commence the project. They hope
to have their monument ready to dedi-
cate by Armistice day of this year.
In Pottawatomie county, a cam
paign which will push the Shawnee
county omen to their very best eff
forts in order to outstrip them, has
been started by the women's clubs of
Wamego.
Other counties which have started
the work are: Thomas county, Kan
sas, Denver county, Colorado, and
Elko county, Nevada.
