2 Monday, January 2, 1928 This morning after many telephone messages, Carl B. and I decided NOT to go skating, so he came over. We played the Victor. He was nice, awfully youngish - but quite nice, and we had fun! Then lunch with Jean Marks - and again the Victor with some new records. Then tea-dancing with Gail, Julia B, and George Haklo, (cousin of Gail's) who has "fallen for me" — I've never had a more boring afternoon. All but one dance with that fool. He is so stupid! Golly! Gail said he had made a list of the order in which he liked 10 girls. I think I will — |Name|Name/Text|Name/Text |---|---|---| 1. AL GILBERT | or it might be | 2. Orvil Dryfoos | 1. A.V.G. | 3. Dan House(?) | 2. Orvil | or even| 4. Dick Gruenberg | 3. Dick Gruenberg | 5. Jerry | 4. Dan House | 5. Jerry | 6. Gail | 5. Jerry | Gail | 7. Peanuts | 6. Gail | 6. Clarry | 8. Dick Amberg(?) | 7. Bob Jones | 7. Bob J. | | 8 | 9. Bob Jonas(?) | 8. Clarry or | 9. Peanuts 10. Clarry | 9. Peanuts | 10. Dick A| | 10. Dick Amber| I don't know. All I do know is that Al is the darlingest of all -----! Al 3 Tuesday, January 3, 1928 Tuesday mornings! - Well, this was one of the nicest - We walked down Columbus Avenue - and arrived at school much too soon-- Ethics, Clubs, Math, Lunch - and - during lunch I met Dan who was very nice and asked me why I hadn't stayed at the Alumni Game! I gave him the peanuts I owed him - and he was cute. Then German, and History, and then Mr. Eyster said I could take the Test - I went to the Library, and I found myself opposite Al. It was so nice having him there - at first I couldn't work - but in a few minutes it made it much nicer - I think I passed! Hope so anyway. Then we both did home-work,and walked up to-gether. I didn't ask him up because I don't think Mother likes it so much - so he didn't - but we walked around the block twice instead! He was so darling! I wrote to him to-night - I don't know if it was crazy or not - well -! In "Good News" she coaches him for a test - and in the test he writes "Mars and Venus sit looking at each other" - I almost wrote a note to him - it was funny! Oh Al dear -
