1 1 I Memories, 1965 NHarry, what are you laughing at?' I had been quietly sewing, but I glanced up quickly when I heard my husband's hearty laugh. NWel1, dear, do you remember my trip to the attic? I found something there that should interest you. It's your diary.u NHarry! Quick, let me see it! What year is 1t?' nIt's for 1945. Listen to what you wrote about twenty years ago. Let's see, you were fifteen then.u September 9, 1945. .School started today. I have had a Hfeather bob,N and I wore my new pinafore. WExcuse the interruption, but what was a 'feather bob'? And I always thought a pinafore was some sort of bib.n WIsn't that just like a man?- A pinafore was a skirt with, well, a top to it, and a 'feather bob' was a hair-do that looked like--looked like--looked like feathers. Stop laughing, Harry, it was very pretty--as I remember 1t.' Nwell, Joan, here is an interesting tid-b1t.n October l5,'1943. Fall is in the air. Today, instead of painting my legs and wearing huraches, I wore socks and loafers. HNow, will you explain that to me? what did you do? Paint your legs red, white, and blue? Just tell me, won't you, what were loafers, huraches, and socks?n nHarry, don't be silly! Don't you remember that during World War II silk stockings were scarce, and the girls painted their legs? Huraches were straw shoes, imported from Mexico, and loafers were brown leather ones.n nAll right, I understand that. Now, what does this mean?u v November ll, 1945, It was so cold that I wore my fascinator. I also wore my necklace made of macaroni, nNow, Joan, I remember what fnscinators were. They were the kerchiefs with holes in them. But you must have looked beautiful with stringy macaroni all over you.U WHere's another entry!W November 51, 1943. Harry came to school today with a G. I, haircut. Now I know how he will look when he gets bald. What a dismal prospect! Well, thank goodness, that time hasn't come yet! ' nCome on, Harry, close the book. We've both been insulted enough, Besides, it makes me feel so old.n D. H.

10 Potato Harvesting in Maine Four of us boys started out from Framingham about seven o'clock on Friday night and arrived in Boston about eight o'clock. Leaving Boston at nine o'clock, we arrived in Caribou, Maine, at eleven-thirty on Saturday. We took a bus to the Limestone High School, where we were to be stationed. After lunch, we unpacked and put up our bunks. As soon as we were organized, we went upon an inspection tour of the town. Later on some of us went to the movies. As it was Saturday night, taps sounded at eleven o'clock instead of nine. We boys from Wayland and eleven others worked for Mr. Wallace Fenlason. Each morning, at seven o'clock, we started on a six-mile ride in an open truck to his farm. It was very cold. We earned fifteen cents a barrel for picking potatoes. In our leisure time, our hosts aided us in making several trips to a large place called Grand Falls, Canada. Just before we left, they held two parties for usg and on the day of our departure, one of the ladies packed a lunch for us to eat on the train. The climax of their hospitality was an invitation to spend Christmas with our friends in Limestone, Uaine. F. D.
