Monday
Dear Folks,
Just a short note to tell you a little news. You remember I mentioned something about a conference being held this last weekend! Well it was a Northern Ohio College Conference – including all the YM’s, YW’s and SK’s of the Northern Ohio Union. I hadn’t given a second thought on going because of debate, ect – Well this morning one of the girls came up and congratulated me – and on questioning her I found out that I was elected
Sec. and Treasury of the Northern Ohio Union – a union of about 20 colleges. I was shocked! --- can you imagine what that means. Mamie Berry, who was at the conference and also an officer in the union, brot [sic] me home the books and checks. Whew! That’s enough to stun me for awhile!
Then, today tryouts were held for the color day play and I decided I’d try out for fun – so gave my Italian pieces – and this evening at Debate one of the girls informed me that I was one of those picked for the second tryout which will be held again tomorrow in that tryout we tryout from a cutting of the play itself. There was 50 or so that tryout tried out Sean said. Whew! – I tried out for the Daughter or 4 other girls which have fine parts. There were eleven picked to try out for these 5 places – so 6 will be eliminated now.
Such is life at college.
Much love
Busy Bean
If I should happen to make a part in the play, you’ll all have to come to Wooster for color day, which is the biggist [sic] event in Woosters college year.
Eleven cases of measels [sic] broke out today at Kenarden. All the infarmaries [sic] are full.
