Ideas & Trouble
The 1933-34 school year in retrospect. Citation for article: "Ideas and Trouble," Teco Echo, May 30, 1934.
The difference between ideas and trouble is that trouble never comes singley, and ideas never come any other way to an editor. That's why I can say only one thing at a time and get it accurate -- (Yeah "accurate!"). Anyway here's a brief summary of the past year, from a diary.The fall term started out swell -- The frosh loved it -- Hash, heartache and homesickness, happy upper classmen all added to the torture -- then initiation week -- how pleasant -- Poes, Lanier, and Emersons all seem to have gone nertz on the subject of rushing. --
Football -- We won our first game in football history -- cheering college girls -- touchdown -- Mad delirium -- Press convention -- dances, late dates, and the final for a few hearts -- Thanksgiving -- followed by worry, exams, and flunk slips -- I really meant to study, I'd do it next term, and show Mom and Dad -- Christmas holidays --
Winter term started -- Registration -- the usual confusion of long lines, worried Frosh who can't get straight, and Seniors who have conflicts -- new classes -- snow, sloshy snow -- more snow basketball -- girl's team takes a perfect record -- peanuts and chewing gum -- two more minutes to go -- yelling crowds -- stunt night -- dumb looking students -- term ends, and more snow, just before we go home -- registration -- a never ending thing -- conflicts confusion, and chaos -- spring -- romance -- Easter holidays -- dissipated was a mild way to express how certain people looked -- Conventions -- SGA, YWCA, and Press Association -- Seniors Washington trip -- elections -- vote, vote, vote -- support my candidate -- vote for -- swell girl -- offices -- campus leaders -- Senior's Bayview house party -- class parties -- baseball games -- swell team -- new coach --picnics -- final exams -- some flunks -- scared Seniors -- tears, fond farewells -- prospects of jobs -- and it's all over -- but all the time men, etc.
