Mother cut out a jacket like one Vivian Johnston wore yesterday and I spent most of the day hemming edges. Mickey McKeever was over for a while to see about going to the Aak Street Reunion at Snyder’s after supper went to Mary Burtches. We walked home and around up town till about 9:00. Home and had popcorn.

Am I tired when I got up up mother had cut out my blue print. I finished my white dress, made belts, etc. Went back with Daddy to go to Jr. Guild swimming party. All set and no cars again. I asked Daddy if I could drive. No but mother could. Got rid of Marcella, bought some gas, loaded up with 7. Went to Harrison Smith at Upper. About 14 of us. Swam, played croquet, ate sandwiches, rode home. Cold cream, bed.

Int. swimming party. Oh Yeah. Not enough cars, a little rain. The church parlors South end Park. Doesn’t that sound like a swimming party. Well it wasn’t. I was mad then but when Daddy wouldn’t let me go to Trinity’s last ball game that was worse.
