About 7 girls went to Erma Prettyman’s to make sandwitches [sic] & punch for the dance to night. While running around after punch bowls, boxes, fruit, etc. I found $3 in the middle of the street. Galion game at the Fairground & the sure victory turned out that Galion won 14-7- So we’ll prob. Have cellar position in the league. Bernard Brooks came after me about 7:45 we went with Helen & Thom. Coons. Danced with Bernard all evening. We all went down to Mary’s afterward & I stayed all night.

Bill put out this year’s best Herald today. Helen, Mary H & B & I went to the Band Benefit Concert at the Palace in evening. “The All-Americans” The new band uniforms are surely classy. Elwyn came & sat by mary so she went home with him. I took Helen home & all she did was run people down. Got pattern & pique for collars after school.

Short Assembly.
I forget when it was but I asked Bernard Brooks to go to the Kenesian Club Party with me (dumb?) G.R. Party in eve. I decided at 7:20 to dress. It was futuristic. What we thot [sic} we’d be 10 years from now. Such ramblings over the building & the journalism room made a good chamber of horrors.

A C in typing! But A in French (La Petite Salon?). Helen took us all to Welch Imperial Singers. Well blended voices & a good looking piano player. We all went to Lil’s afterwards for tea & cookies. Danced & joked. I did one of my specialty dances with a Mix hat.
