Wednesday April 10th 1935
Walt was to meet me tonight to go to practice for the Banquet and when he didn’t show up I was worried. About 8:15 he came and Bob Haldeman, Louis Woolem and Bernard Brooks were with him. We drove around in Bernard’s car and then went to the Dutch Cafe where I had my first taste of gin. And I don’t like Tom Collins. Danced with Bob and Bernard. Tried smoking in the car but I couldn’t see anything in it. Too old-fashioned, I guess. Louis is still the same. Got home about 10:30.
