Hey, hey, history loggers! Sorry for missing an update, but last Friday was spent at the Fall History Gathering! We had a good time chowing on snacks, talking about classes for the Spring semester, and celebrating Katherine Smith's and Nancy Bristow's new books! After the formal gathering, a number of the students and teachers went down to Chalet Bowl and had a wild time of bowling! Congratulations to professor Bill Breitenbach for taking home the high scores for the evening!

Keep your eyes peeled for more upcoming events! Also, make sure that you meet with your advisers and talk about your plans for next semester so you can get your registration codes!

Greetings again, fellow history loggers. Let me start by saying, congrats on making it to Fall Break! I know I, for one, am excited for a few days off. Try making the most of it! Find new places to eat, explore Tacoma or Seattle, do a little reading at night. There's plenty of things you could schedule into your Fall Break for fun and learning.

Don't forget that next Friday we will be having our fall History Department gathering! There will be congratulations given to Katherine Smith and Nancy Bristow on the completion of their books, tasty treats, discussion about spring courses and afterwards...bowling! Our meeting will take place at 4 PM in Wyatt 109.

Have fun this weekend!
