Went home on bus. Wally met me and went to bus station with me.
Bernard Brooks & Rosina came down this evening. We’re sort of planning a weekend trip to the lake. Hope nothing spoils it. Had popcorn and lemonade.

Louis came down with Walt tonight. Went for a walk and watched them play tennis at Indianola courts. Came home and sat in the swing. Louis rather cramped our style.

Tuesday July 9th 1935
Note on my desk this morning. Gone to Logan, “Bill”. Morning went fairly smooth. JL Davis wanted some statistics so I made them. Bill came when I was ready to take them up and delayed them. Hope I don’t get in bad with JL.
9:15- My sunburn is peeling. Guess I’ll read Reader’s Digest some more.

Monday July 8th 1935
Forgot to call Mr. S. last night and when I did this morning he was sick and not going to Columbus. So after negative results at the bus station Daddy and mother took me to Worthington and I took the bus and car. In only a half hour late!
Work sure piled up. And I won’t realize how much until I get into it.
Wally has moved in with Louis and is working four and a half hours a day. We went to see Jolson and Keeler in “Go Into Your Dance” Good.

Sunday July 7th 1935
Went to Uncle Hen’s for dinner. Daddy and I played a set of tennis on the lawn. I gave it to him at 5 – 2. Mary is staying for about a week and a half. Had popcorn and pop. Went up town after some things for my lunch.
Over to Grandma’s for a while.

Mary and I went to last show “The Glass Key” and stayed for encore showing “Three Cornered Moon.”

Friday July 5th 1935
BY picnic at Upper Sandusky. Bernard Brooks came for us. Rather dumb all around. Talked to Helen Wood for a while.
When we got started home had a flat tire. Fixed it at a filling station. And then about two miles from Rosie’s another- I was driving.
Shot fireworks at Rosina’s and dozed while Bernard Brooks said goodnight.

Up early and even though it did look like rain started for the lake. Clear up there. Tom & Jesse & John- Heine Mrs.& 2 kids our family and Walt.
Swam in morning. Shot firecrackers, ate in the sand, more swimming and then to Castalia, Blue Hole for supper. Got home about 9 and are all sunburned, especially Walt.

Wednesday July 3rd 1935
Mary, Walt, Bernard Brooks, Bob Haldeman and I played tennis at Shovel* this morning. Bob would make a good teacher. Went up town in p.m. Got a bathing suit and a big beach towel. Mary got outfitted for Assembly. Rain terrible while Walt and I were in the car. Pauline Chambers Johnson stopped. She’s so happy married she says. Went to bed early.
