Monday, May 18

Busy all day again preparing for exhibits. At nite I had charge of typing room. Snake & mouse in Lab. Arlene said she wish Huff was in there instead of the mouse. Came home at 9:30. Mom had varnished and all we hear all day was “Watch Out For Paint.”

 

Tuesday, May 19

Watched them play horseshoe awhile and then went to show with Dorothy & Madonna. “We're Only Human.” Stopped in and got ice cream at Bertha's & Kitty's. Sent invitations. Helen told me after Glee Club about my being Valedictorian. I was so shocked I could hardly walk home.
