Monday October 28, 1935

(This is an entry from the journal entitled “Mexico Summer” written by Elizabeth Whipple Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago)

Went to Mrs. Parker’s and the dress fit perfectly!  She certainly is a seamstress!  We have a new teacher in Junior High – his name is Earl Ellis and his is tall and blond and looks young!  Too bad!

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

Diving exhibition. Navy Day was celebrated at the Washington Navy Yard by various exhibitions including the diving show

Civilians in Mek’ele were ordered to evacuate in anticipation of an Italian offensive.

A new Time magazine with Bruno, Benito & Vittorio Mussolini on the cover.
