Thursday February 28th 1935
Got so sick about 9:30. Thought I’d never make it to the restroom. Thought I’d feel better but had to go home about 11:00. Piled in bed with hot water bottle after ginger tea and slept until 5:30. Then Mrs. Davis called me for supper. Back to bed at 7:30.

Tuesday February 26th 1935
To work- lunch- home in a snowstorm and no boots- supper- sewing- bath- bed.
That’s about it except that Wally called and I called Aunt May.

Monday February 25th 1935
Got 3 1/2 yards white tonight $0.55 for my quilt and started sewing white around the blocks I have finished. Wally down. I can’t get enough of him.

Sunday February 24th 1935
Slept until 11. Laura and I took a walk.
Sorta looked for Mother and Daddy but they didn’t come.
At church Reverend Wiley announced that he and Mrs. Wiley we’re leaving 10th Avenue to go to Kalamazoo. Wally met me afterwards and we went to Fireside. He told about his accounting course at Bliss.
I acted terrible coming home. Jealous over nothing.

Saturday February 23rd 1935
Stiff this morning. Worked until about 1:30 and met Wally, “Mary” and Harriet that work with Wally. Got a few little things and came home. Did a washing- cleaned my room. Did some reading and worked on my quilt!

Friday February 22nd 1935
Felt blue all day but rushed home. Had supper quick. Started my bath about 6:15 and finished dressing at 7:45 just as Wally (Nye Schofield, Vernon Gilmore) drove up. So to Sea Scout dance at Williams Grill Westerville. Surely enjoyed myself. Wally was so sweet.
Got home about 1:00 and so to bed. Dead tired.

Thursday February 21st 1935
Went uptown at noon. Got gold clip and earrings at Dunn-Tafts and gold bows at the Union $1.11 and $0.66 respectively.
After work stopped at Corts. Got pair black moire pumps.
Made a block for my quilt tonight- did my nails for the dance tomorrow night.
Mrs. Davis told me tonight when I paid her that she would have to have $5 & $6 a week instead of $4 & $5.

Wednesday February 20th 1935
Wally down. I [shorthand] every time I see him if it will be that way all my life- that all I ask. But I guess that’s too much.
Finished another block.

Tuesday February 19th 1935
The power went off just has I transferred this morning so I was 20 minutes late.
Pieced a block tonight. Took a bath & am going to read for a while.
Wally called. I had to tell him about the new dress cause he kept asking if I were going to have my prom dress cleaned.
