Very exciting time over the Freshman “little red
caps with the yellow button.” Miss Chinn
excused some of us to go to the mass meeting of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
classes in chapel. Everybody there, some
music by Theising, [illegible name], and Neller, and then after it was
found Freshman were willing to compromise, we left.

*Pink,
Wrigley’s Chewing Gum wrapper pasted in.
Chewing gum given me by the groom, shortly after the
ceremony. Pearl looked very sweet - had
such a pretty suit and hat. Emma
wouldn’t see them married – couldn’t stand it.
Albert looked awfully nice, too.
Address to the girls by Miss Hamilton, after which
we almost all adjourned to the Gym. To the Freshman class meeting. Very serious and critical time, when three
upper classes threaten to leave school if “Freshies” don’t wear caps. Robinson and Jackson very stubborn. Committee finally made a compromise by which
Freshman agreed to wear the red caps, but without the “yellow button”. Feel that they have forced the Seniors to
make a great concession. Got back at
10:30, no lessons studied, but very happy.
