Class Meeting*
Did the ironing!! Even with telephone interruptions about program for class meeting. But it took the whole day.

Small but jovial group at class meeting. Seiters, Wingetts, Martins, Cotrills, Dorothy Gilmore Walters & myself. I had taken chocolate cup cakes. Some of Va S’s marzetti left over & she gave it to me to bring home.

Delores was with kids while Wally played poker. She was finishing dishes as I came in at 10 – and the sink was in process of stopping up again. She was telling me of the new dish washer & clothes washing machines they are getting.

Read story of Jack London in Reader’s Digest. Even he had rejection slips to the point of discouragement so I rallied & wrote an ode to my stopped up sink “Triumph of Evil”.

To bed about 2 – Wally not home yet.
