LETTERS May 28, 1941 Dear M -- This bright morning I can truthfully say, I'm smart, as they presented me with my sheepskin last night. The usual solemn speech initiated us into the outside world. As we sat there listening to him speak of these precious four years, I began reminiscing on what Fate has accomplished thus far for our class. I am happy to say that about half of us are fostering plans for a college career. I regret that you and the others were unable to continue until the ultimate end for should I say beginningj with us, but such was not the case. I,ast night was the gay climax to this enjoyable year, and we grads topped it off by making the rounds of our many homes to extend congratulations and to say hello to the relatives we know. Now it's all over, and we have those sweet and poign- ant memories to fall back on for years to come. But enough of that! After the long-dreaded finals were over, we relaxed at the music picnic at Camp Wwster. The swimming was such fun, and the water was just the right degree of coolness. Only the more hardy of us tried our fins, but you'd have died laughing at Andy when he dived off the shallow end and had to do a belly-whopper to avoid getting stuck in the mud! The girls looked so lovely in their multicolored formals at the music concert. I wore the powder blue Santa donated last Christmas. Speaking of formals, the Prom was last week. Thanks again to the juniors for the marvelous time we all had, especially C--- and I, at the Country Club. We had loads of fun when we did the honors last year, but it was more enjoyable still when we could sit back and watch the underclassmen doing it up brown in our honor. All three of my projects adorned the rooms for Open Houseg so Dad and Mom were proud of my achievement. I almost forgot the newest of all news! The girls from gym class presented a May Day festival. We all danced around the maypole, minus the pole. I took part in the Rhumba-Tango number. I've had a desire to learn both 'for some time, and when the opportunity presented itself, believe me, I made the most of it. Mom is trying to get me into the garden to take some snapshots of the gown and mortar board, the bouquets, and me midst them allg so I will discontinue for the present. Your post- grad friend, Ai.
