Chapel services again in morning. I changed my seat in French a little while back & I like it lots. Derriere M. Jean Houser et beside M. Robert Haldeman. When I left Eng. class to have my picture taken for library council B.H. [Bob Haldeman] hollered “Hey Trella, your name is shiny.” Now was that nice?
