[[top margin]] Found a pen [[/top margin]]

December 10 Thursday

Fair and cold. I went to school as usual. Latin test and Gym test. I did fairly in Gym test and got 100 in Latin test. After supper, I went over to see Dolores but she came over first then I went over there with Carolyn who came over. I found a pretty mottled pink and purple pen (fountain pen) on way home from school (in Georgtown.) It has glass covering part of ink tube showing how much ink you have. I will keep it.
