1939 10:20 - We're off again. In the groove with a muddle of plans for Blackfriars, a fashion show for A.G.A., a costume design class, posters to make, murals to design - Walked 6 miles today - feel swell. - Mother won a darling little white chair playing bingo tonight.
1940 Tuesday - Well I've been pretty disorganized all day! - All I've done was look at the special page in Mlle at intervals all day. I certainly hope people don't think I get conceited about it though! - More than that I hope I don't get conceited!
1941 Thursday 2:30 - Had a very satisfactory viewpoint from Henry tonight... He thinks so CLEARLY... helped me some, I'm sure... We saw Chad Hamsa (it was bank night) - went for a ride in the fog - had some coffee - talked + came home. He does not make me feel cheap, I don't think - Tomorrow's FRIDAY ! ! ! ! ! !
1942 Fri Gee, what a party. And I thought the Augustana faculty conservative. Dinner at Lofthus' for DeGray - then over to Blegans - Hope I don't have a hangover
1943 SAT AH FUN, WE ALL MET BOB TONIGHT - WHO IS FINE AND DANDY and INTEGRALLY THE SAME. JOHN K WAS HI and WE HAD A TIME WALTZING AT THE station TOGETHER. IT snowed. WE SURROUNDED HIM ALL THE WAY TO THE Town CLUB... WHERE WE DRANK and DANCED BUT NOT TO EXCESS. OF EITHER. WE FINISHED OFF THE ROLL OF COLORED FILMS TODAY... MR. EIDE WAS WONDERFUL ELEANOR + P + L + I HAD PANCAKES IN THE KITCHEN.
