The Herald editorship won’t be announced until the middle of the summer. Talked to Mrs. Marshall about it. We four kids sure had fun planning a wiener roast while walking the 2 miles from Gene’s house. The last Herald was published. It surely should have been better. I’d hate to say it was the best I could do. Worked in the yard, wrote & made fudge in evening.

Thursday May 12 1932
Mary Burtch, Helen Holdridge, Gene Doring and I all went to the Senior Play “The Royal Family” together. Mother too. A take off of the Barrymore family. Such clothes. Afterwards we all went to Gene’s house to stay all night. Tried de etudier mais nous a parle plus. Lindberg baby found dead 5 miles from home.

Made our schedules for next year. I signed up for Am. Lit., Am. Hist., Typing II, French II and Shorthand I if I don’t make the editorship. If they don’t announce that pretty soon I’ll be a nervous wreck. B. Guthrie said they would to morrow.

Mary B. came a la maison avec moi de voir ma robe de Prom. Elle a mangé diner ici et alors nous avons allé a Guild meeting a la maison de Helen Bois. Pauline was elected president. Then I bawled the whole mess of them out for not accomplishing anything. They didn’t like it of course. Went down to Mary’s and stayed all night.

Monday May 9 1932
Martha Jane Cook came to me in Chemistry Lab & told me she wanted me to be publicity chr. for the G.R. next year. I would accept.
While sitting in the dining room I hear someone screaming help, help. Daddy ran to see what was the matter but came back laughing. Someone had taken hold of a live wire & couldn’t let lose [sic]. It didn’t hurt him.

Sunday May 8 1932
Daddy has the toothache. Wore my green silk to S.S. Quite a sensation. Harry, B.B., Carla Yazel & Pauline here for prac. Sent them home at 3 & got my G.R. ring. Beautiful ceremony. Play came off O.K. at B.Y. (I wrote it) Gave a prayer at church for the Life Services League program.

Saturday May 7 1932
Slept late to make up for lost time. Dug dandelions till noon. Mother & I went up town. Got my prom dress finally after trying on green, yellow, white, organda’s with flounces & ruffles & holes everywhere. Got a delicate pink net with blue bows peeking thru. Had quite a scene with the family in the evening. Don’t know what about.

Friday May 6 1932
Circus day but not for me. Took my dummy to the printers. Went over 3d period & Floy had re-written some things about play ticket. I don’t like it. What a thrill when 8th period they brough my papers in & gave them to everybody. Had to go to the annual concert instead of the circus. Had comps to boot. Rained, thunder.
