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

Stayed up until 12 last night and finished the paper for Valasquez.  Handed it in today.  At twelve (noon) Carsey and I again visited the museum and I drew a subject for the Art paper. Betty came at one to get hers. Ethelyn visited our Art Class.  Finished the Art Paper.  Wrote to the family – Bank sent check for $18.  Had not yet received the bonus when the sent that –

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