Letter from Santa Fe saying they never received my letter with the certificate from home or the $10. Teachers annual picnic at Miss Cowan’s in the evening.  We went for Merle O’Terry and ate with Betty, Harriet and Lenore – Good food as usual.  Mr. Pope did not attend because he had a sudden attack of gall stones or something in the morning.   After the picnic we went to the P.T.A. and later on saw “The Gay Deception” with Frances Lederer and Frances Dee.  The cutest picture I’ve seen in a long time.

Letter from Dit says Harold got a job in Silver City and she is leaving soon too.   She has been packing all week and has been seeing the the Fair in San Diego.   Tuesday I sent a special delivery registered letter to Santa Fe about my certificate. Surely am glad Harold could get a job so soon.   His health was poor in California.   Last night we had our S.S. Dinner at Edith Johnson’s – Mrs. Leroy Brown gave the lesson. Merle Terry and Rose McDowell were guest and future members.  Mary Jo made $20 or $25 on commissions from Avon products!  Congratulations on her!  Monday night Bud Gaylord, Mary, Betty, Alyce Claire and I played Bridge and too in the Mexican Fiesta.  I was supposed to have made a speech again but I never knew what the time for it was and it was evidently all over when we went at nine!
