Dearest,

Sorry I didn’t get a letter off over the weekend. I just received your letter it was really a surprise to get a letter two days in a row. About the pin hanging ceremony that Illinois will soon be experiencing. Its up to you if you want to take it and I will understand. I hope thats all the farther it will go. By the way what name does the person go by and also what do they call the fraternity. I hope its not ΣΝ^[1]Sigma Nu, Tom’s fraternity at Northwestern.

I have an hour exam in Chem. Thurs. I have so many equations to learn I don’t know where to start. Lab is the only thing I am doing any good on in there. The quiz’s have been just fair. Math is going O.K. and so is English but Psychology is going to hmmmm. The latter is the one I am going to have to write a good finish on.

We have a beer party this Fri. night. As yet I haven’t got a date. Steve always gets mad at me becauser I wait till the night before to get one. Then I have one heck of a time. I had a date with lBetty Fri. afternoon which lasted about 15 min.

I got swated last night and the paddle broke. The first time that happened to me and the funny thing was it didn’t hurt as much as when they don’t break.

Write soon.

All my love,

Tom
