Left at 3:30 for Roswell _ dead to the world. Alyce Claire already here.  Gift for Dit from Martens and Hazel  – Mr. Atkins sent me hankies and Alyce Claire perfume!!  I can’t understand it! Saw “Gay Divorcee” – very good- they danced the Continental.  Am beginning to like it – Roberta left Saturday for San Marcos so I missed seeing her altogether!! To bed early says I!

 

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

Happy New Year!!  The 1st Sugar Bowl & 1st Orange Bowl are played today.
