DESKAIDE * THE SILENT SECRETARY * 1942
OCTOBER
29
THURSDAY

Fair + cold. I went to school as usual. We had an English test (I think I did pretty well) In gym, Dottie Morrisen gave me 15 ¢ of the 20 ¢ I charged her for the two necklaces. But I took an extra nickel from mother (20 ¢)+ will give her the 5 ¢ when I get it. I had $2.04. Now I have $2.24!!! I had quite a lot of homework.
