Dear Folks,

We won another football game yesterday by the score
of about 40-7. Ursinus (from where Jeffers graduated)
was the victim. We’ve won five, lost two, tied one, and
have one yet to play on Thanksgiving. If we win it our
customs are off for good. Here’s hoping.
Last Friday night we freshmen tore up the town. We all
dressed in p-js and danced up town where we built a big
bonfire on the square. The police chased us away. We
also crashed the theater. We came back to the college
later and built a fire by the W.D. More fun, more people
killed. The fire whistle blew and the fire trucks came
and put out the fire.
Last night five friends and I went down to Hood and
danced at the “Hour Glass”. We had a good time.
Doesn’t Rev. Smith live in Frederick?
We have our Christmas dance the eighth and ninth.
I went over to see the Dean last week but he wasn’t in.
You wanted to know something about Bill Everhart.
He’s about five’ ten” and rather goodlooking and wears
glasses. His mother is our cook and his father works at
the college. He has several brothers and sisters some of
whom who are away at school. He wants to be a
journalist. He played football, basket, and track in H.S.
He has run the 100 in 10” flat. I run around a lot with
him. He lives in an apartment which is very nice. I was
up there last night.
I have some studying to do yet this afternoon, so I must
be off.

Love,
Gordon
