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.

Monday February 18th 1935
Finished the cards at last.
Wally down tonight. Made some blocks for my quilt.

Sunday February 17th 1935
Too much show I guess- had a terrible headache. Tried on my dress and a corset I got for it. Had spare ribs for dinner. Just messed around but had a good time doing. Bernard Brooks met me at the bus to get a letter I had for him from Wally. Talked to a man from Zanesville on the bus.
Mrs. Haldeman took Mary and I through Streletz house. Gorgeous.

Saturday February 16th 1935
Almost finished my Express and parcel post cards. At 12 I ask Bill if I should quit and he said okay if I was going home. Got in on the bus at 2:30. Daddy and Mary were making sausage. They bought a whole hog from Uncle John’s last night. The refrigerator is full. Uptown and got a formal. It has long sleeves. I hope that’s okay. Mary took me to the Palace. George Raft and Carole Lombard “Rhumba”- “Horse Feathers” Four Marx Brothers.

Friday February 15th 1935
Have to work tomorrow so I’m not going home tonight.
Davis’s wouldn’t let Wally come down. He called so now I’m getting to take a walk with him.
That will surely let them have their living room. He was only down Wednesday of this week. And when he’s the only vice I have I think I might have a few privileges.

Thursday February 14th 1935
Payday but raining so hard I couldn’t go up town so ate at the station. Wally met me after work and I gave him his Valentine. Money to pay his Sea Scout Initiation fee.
Went to Aunt May’s for supper. She sure can cook. Worked on quilt and Floyd and I traded some peace. Came home on the Livingston car. Got here about 10:30. Daddy and mother sent me a heart filled with candy.

Wednesday February 13th 1935
Worked all afternoon on routings.
Took a bath before Wally came. Same story.
Raining tonight, Ate and tangerine and some candy before I went to bed.
Sent some chocolates to the family for a Valentine.
