Btarp of a Mentor (Too intimate to be grammatically correct) Monday — Slept through with some interruptions from those horrid little Juniors banging doors. So hungry all morning but some kind soul brought me two pieces of toast and several sausages — rather slim breakfast, for after all a girl must eat. Went to lunch and movies today. I think Joan Crawford is marvelous, and I ' d love to look just like her. My mouth is sorta like hers, but I must reduce. Swell chocolate fudge sundae at Boone-Iseley ' s after the picture — thank goodness ' cause we had that unusual roast beef again and beets! So tired I just couldn ' t study tonight. It ' s S:30, so I guess I ' ll turn in. Tuesday — Terrible day, rained and rained, beginning exactly five minutes after morning walk. Just our luck! Also Miss Weise gave us a test, and as usual I was not well acquainted with the subject matter under discussion. Rain must affect my appetite: we went to the little store this afternoon, and I ale two ice cream sandwiches, a dope, and a pimento cheese sandwich, but that was all right because I didn ' t eat any dinner at all except one piece of pie and a roll. I studied tonight until 8:15 and then washed clothes and set my hair. I think I ' ll cut some bangs. Wednesday — Heard from George this morning; he still loves me. and he ' s coming Saturday. I must borrow Betsy ' s velvet. Miss Pope gave us our test papers back today — the grades weren ' t very good. I got C. She read out some pretty- funny remarks from some of the papers. Somebody said Pope was a ■ ' classic and somebody else said something about the enclosed couplet. She read something off my paper, but I still can ' t see anything funny about it. We practiced volley ball today and that is really the silliest game I ' ve ever seen — I was half an hour late to rehearsal this afternoon and I don ' t think Miss Davis liked it very much. Jane and I took reducing exercises tonight and the book says if we keep it up we ' ll lose ten pounds in two weeks. Thursday — So sore that it was a struggle to get out of bed this morning, making me late to breakfast which is bad ' cause it ' s the second time this month. I was also reported for chewing gum in gym along with having only one gym sock — can I help it if I ' ve lost the darned thing? Two boxes of food on the hall today and I feel a little sick; maybe I ' d better go to the infirmary — a rest would do me good. The only thing is that I wouldn ' t, be able to go to town tomorrow and I simply must do that. Studied an awful lot tonight for that Bible test — I just can ' t exigite though. Friday — That Bible test was terrible — I didn ' t study any of the things he asked, and I wrote my head off answering the wrong question — and on top of all that we had liver for lunch. Went to sleep in French class twice this afternoon. Wonder what ' s wrong with me. I don ' t think Miss Weise noticed though. I bought the cutest hat at Taylor ' s this afternoon — it was one of those off-the-face things, and it was green. I really shouldn ' t have gotten it because I don ' t have a thing in the world that ' s green and I look terrible in off-the-face hats, but it is such a honey. I just had to have it. Mother probably won ' t like it either — I always get blamed for everything. We studied tonight for a little while. Saturday — The shock of the year! Mr. Guess up and gives an Ec. test! I ' ll never be the same, but maybe he won ' t correct the papers. Spent all this afternoon fixing hair and fingernails. In fact I didn ' t even realize that clean-up hour was over and all of a sudden it was time for inspection and we got 6 before I could even open my mouth, and it was unfair. I hate George! He ' s the cutest thing in the world, but I can ' t stand him — he was exactly forty-live minutes late, and the first thing he said was, Well, there certainly is more of you than the last time I saw you ! He ' s the freshest thing that ever was, but I tried to be sweet because, after all. May Frolics aren ' t so far in the distance. We had a well session tonight, and Hal Kemp was the best thing — but about that time who should come around the corner but . . .? Yep, you guessed it, and we all went home. Sunday — This morning at choir practice I was trying so hard to tell everybody in our row about what Georire said and everybody interfered. Finally Mrs. Cruikshank shushed us. Attitude again. . . . There ' s no excuse for the way they ' re actually making us sing a ' choir practice now. An out of town person preached today and he was the most long-winded man I ' ve ever heard. We had green peas, rice, chicken and chocolate ice cream for dinner today. Queer! Did such a great lot of good sleeping this afternoon, and then somebody had to wake me up and tell me I had a dale. The date turned out to be that dumb Percy Smith. I ' d so much rather have slept. The radio was swell tonight, and we had a big time playing mound. Bed at ten o ' clock. . . . Oh. the humilation of it ! I 8ixty
