Woke up at 10:00 with Pat curled at my feet. Went to Swigart’s at noon and got the play. Typed the first act. Went to “Doomed Battalion” on bread tickets with Mary Burtch. She came up here for supper and afterwards we read a western story using Mary as the heroine-bandit, Bill as the hero and Bernard Brooks as the villain. Green camp scene of the action.

Sunday August 7th 1932
Saw the kids at Sunday school at last. Mary asked me down for dinner but I had to refuse for Uncle Gus’s and Guy’s were here for dinner. Donald left for Akron afterwards and I went out to get Mary. She was full of Bill and the Assembly. Walked out to her house for supper. Went to B.Y. Nita took us for a ride and mother came after me at Mary’s about 9:30. Gee I’m glad she’s home.

Saturday August 6th 1932
Finished my dress in morning. Went to Swigarts to see about play “Missionary Arithmetic” for Int. Guild to give. Completely rejuvenated my room. Sure looks swell. In evening went skating at Crystal with Tommy and Jessie. Had loads of fun. Got onto it fairly good. Eight different pardiners [sic] during evening. 1 girl.

Friday August 5th 1932
Cut out my green dress. Donald Shuster is here. His vacation. Mrs Harold and Raymond came up after him. E.O. Uncaphers brought up their little brown dog for us to keep for 2 weeks. Scotchie. Part bulldog, but I’d hate to say what the rest is.

Thursday August 4th 1932
I was over to Helen Sheneman’s yesterday for a pattern but I forgot it so she brought it today. Mrs Epley down to ask mother to serve at Live Wire Banquet tonight. So I got supper for Helen, Marcella, Mary, daddy and I went to Int. game in the evening. Bernard Brooks played only half a game and came and talked to me all the rest.

Wednesday August 3rd 1932
Mother went uptown and came home with about 50 yards of print. I liked some of Grandma’s so went up and got me two pieces. So we’re sewing again. I wanted to go skating with Tommy and Jessie, but Daddy said if I went any place I had to go to Prayer meeting so I stayed home.

In bed all morning. Sick but a letter from Bob C [Cameron] thanking me for the picture and finally a card from Helen. Orlie Moiser brought a bushel of beans and lots of news about the man that killed his mother set everything afire then killed himself.

Wore my blue dress. It looks swellish. Up about 6:00. Got to Granville about 9:00. Went to the girls room and then to church in Swayze Chapel. I went to Sunday School. DePuy taught. Wonderful, as usual. Saw Gwen Lewis for a minute and visited Stone. Burtches and we went to Newark Mounds for dinner. Mary Burtch got me a date with +”Bill” and she had one with Gordon. Had lots of fun in the cemetery and walking railroad tracks.
