Walt finally asked me to go to the prom with him but I think I’ll refuse though he is terribly cute. Louis stopped in and we traded rings. Then he was over this evening and helped me mow the yard. He suggested a show but I was tired. We just talked [ shorthand].

All skipped Sunday School. I drove Uncle Perry’s car. Swell car but I made a mess of driving it. Just before we left we climbed all over the gorge north of Akron- so pretty. Coming home we took byways that were almost as pretty. Mary and I nearly had a fight but we escaped.

And now I have Walt’s ring. Mother and I looked at bedrooms suits after school and I don’t like them. Wrote some poems about Bob Haldeman. Sappy like his. Such a dull evening. I wish I had some excitement.

But Rayl didn’t even speak to me this morning. I do wish my mother didn’t go snooping in my diary. We had a Lit test and I knew absolutely nothing. Walt is mad at Mary because she wouldn’t let him dance with me. Potluck Guild meeting at Helen Woods- tea kettle – Mary for all.

We finally got up but mother went on to Sunday School and we messed around and didn’t go but for in time for church. Had dinner at the church. Rayl Class 25 anniversary dinner. Mary Burtch and I rode around in afternoon & discussed our good time. Jud Russell talked this afternoon. B.Y.- Bernard Brooks home. Tired.

And now it’s Rayl Conyers. I can’t understand that person and he doesn’t like me but I like him and I wonder if he took my dance program. Sure had fun. More than any other dance. Mary and Lil came down for all night and I made Rayl cocoa and I had fun and I hope everyone else did and so home.
