DESKAIDE     THE SILENT SECRETARY    1942

[[Left page]] 
[[Date on page]]
October 25 Sunday

Fair. I went to School - Sunday 
with Bobby & stayed for church. 
(11-12) & walked home with
Dolores. In the afternoon Carolyn
came over & we played monopoly
(she brought her game over - I love
to play it) until she had to go
home at 4:00 when Dolores came
over. We made a few paper beads,
then we walked to store & she got
us each an ice cream. Then we
went to our homes for supper.
I did homework, listened to radio, &
went to bed at 9:00.
