Letter. Cold. Late. Hurry — and then school! English, Science, Chorus, German - with an A-, Lunch, Gym, Math This afternoon with Liz - she is so darling - We talked about everything - She understands- its too bad about her parents - Then I came home - Daddy is terribly worried about business.  I wonder if we really did turn poor — what would happen!  But I hope it doesn't happen — Then I answered Al's darling letter — He is so nice — He would understand everything - —
  
Mother liked my story - somehow that makes me want to write some more - Prose - in that style - but I have no ideas - and after all - they are the backbone of anything at all —
  
 
I won't see Al really until ???  I wish it was soon — I like him so much more than anyone knows — or wants to know.

Study period! I went into the library twice — especially to see Al — I guess I mustn't — ! Assembly! Walking up he came over - but Laura Werner having suddenly become attached to me — was in the way! Math! Lunch! He had the lunch room - I mean the roof - and all I saw was a dirty look! [[?]] and fooling around — with Dan House - I made a great mistake - I gave Al the note to give to Dan - I shouldn't have - on account of both of them. Anyway, I'm hoping Al has sense enough not to be sore - I'm hoping so for a letter to-morrow!

Mr. Butler suggested the name "Glitter" for my story - saying "all that Glitters is not gold - nor crystal and neither was Jim - all that you thought him to be" - A good suggestion! Mr. Leonard was interested in it also!

This afternoon skating - Smush is so nice - ! And then, Al was playing basketball - so I couldn't wait! Perhaps - perhaps to-morrow he'll walk home with me — ! Perhaps a letter - Please-

To-day was sort of nice — but there was something lacking - !?
