APRIL 16

1939 11:35 Sunday - Eleanor had company tonight - we worked all day getting ready - Ray came over when he got through work. We ate in the kitchen by candle light off of the blue table cloth - we helped Ed + Eleanor Rosalind + Ward to take pictures. It was fun.

1940 Tues. - Bought some new saddles, finally. Went to 39 Steps by myself just because I wanted to. Wrote to Eleanor - She called Sunday - I hope she isn't lonely

1941 Would have gotten another new pair except for that darn faculty meeting... I was simply vague all day - I could not have had more than 3 hours sleep last night. I stewed around all day. I still think I did the right thing.

1942 Thurs Did make-up for M of Venice - didn't see it tho! Walked home w/ Peg + Wilber. Bob H. + Leonard hitch-hiked to Brookings - tsk -

1943 FRI OH GOD, ANOTHER CRISIS. HERMAN CAN SEE NOTHING BUT BITTER FUTILITY IN KEEPING THIS UP AND I AGREED WITH HIM. A TERRIBLE WAY TO END THIS; I DON'T SEE why HE HAS TO THINK HE'S IN LOVE WITH ME... COMPLICATED... WE SAW Oklahoma EXQUISITE! ATE cheese SANDWICHES, BEER; I TALKED ABOUT LEONARD...

1939 Sat Worked till noon bought some sandals + met Eleanor who also bought a pr of " - (hers were $8.75!) got ready the rest of the aft... I was still slightly dour when I got ready - H. + my formal swell - We were an hour late! - My speech went off okay - We went to the show

1940 Mon Well Bill sent me 2 pr of hose. - I felt a little silly, I think... I've practically had the flu all day... Printers! ... Kraushaus's funeral was today... Marguerite came over... too much talk... I'm going to fore go it from now on.

1941 3:00 MiGod! - Here we go again. I had to tell Tommy it would be better if I didn't see him anymore... It was terribly hard to do because he was so damn swell to me... But he is really a heller... Danced with Freddie. Not even a THROB.

1942 Wed That was some Limbo we were in. - I felt strangely detached until you reassured me I held an exclusive place in your existence - Did you notice?

1943 THURS FELT QUITE AWFUL TODAY... MY NOSE runs EXCESSIVELY: MY OUT-LOOK IS BLEARY, VERY. GOT SOME PHOTOS FOR THE Mag, THOUGH... CAME HOME + AM TO BED... PHILIP IS GONE TO Moose Creek, ALASKA, WISH ELEANOR WOULD COME HERE... BUT THAT'S A PROBLEM
