APRIL 30

1939 11:40 Sunday Felt tired when I woke up. Lay out in the b. yard most of the morn - Ray + I played tennis this aft. I'm a little sunburned - Sara and Marguerite + Nessa dropped in - So did Ray half an hr. afterward. He took us all for a ride bought ice cream cones - He is too good I told him he spoiled last night for me. I hope he doesn't think I'm serious! ! 
1940 Tues. Well Je suis fini! And what a drag - Every thought I had of placing in the P de P was non existent when that M.S. went in today. It was corny. I refused a date w/ Bill.
1941 Gee what a maybasket. Lorraine and Alberta, a great big one. Lotta pink in it. I've practically decided to go to Plymouth. Don't know if I'm doing right or not.
1942 Went to Skylark with Chils + Ruth Olam... Quite dull... Bill Blake had a very close parallel in the personnel of the Augustana Art Department. -
1943 FRI [OH GOLLY, PEG - YOU ALMOST SPOILED THE evening. HOW COULD YOU?]... AND I HAD TO WAIT THIS NOON AT MCCREERY'S FOR YOU SO LONG, TOO. THIS NOON... WE MET HERMAN AT 6:15, WENT TO DINNER AT Roger's, THEN TO KISS and TELL (WHICH WAS DARLING)... AND TO Cafe Society Downtown - RUM COLLINSES, BOOGIE WOOGIE; AND HOME IN A TAXI - I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT IT COST.

1939 2:50 Sat About all I can feel is a deep sense of relief - Responsibilities get me down. I'm so glad it's over - Spence was a very nice date - There is no one in the J.S. class I would rather have gone with - But I kept thinking of some-one else all the time
1940 Mon Worked till 12:00 I've never struggled so much over something that's really so simple - If I were only done!
1941 Have I a sense of values, or have I not? Days like today make me wonder. I don't seem to care about things. I'm mixed up. Hope I snap out of this.
1942 12:30 We had our drawing class picnic today + it was a def. success. Choir left about 3; so did we drew animals. I did all the  work of arranging (nev. again) came back to creative writing... Hypnotic session in the Art Room
1943 11:00 PEG IS IN THE THROES of GETTING READY AND PACKED - A JOB. MRS. STOTE TOOK ME TO THE Fashion Group LUNCHEON TODAY! - MANY THE BIG WIG, THERE... SHERRY FIRST, + GOOD food. STUFFY, VICTORIAN HOTEL - FUNNY PLACE... I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM Leonard THIS WEEK!
