Saturday September 7, 1935

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

Worked two hours in Junior High Library. Found the check from Jose Alvarez had come in today – Mrs. Grady leaves out with Mrs. McCullough for California for two weeks.  Surely am glad for her sake – Learned how to tell my own fortune but it doesn’t turn out as indicated!  Rode around with Betty and Alyce Claire nearly all afternoon – Bought some cream rouge and Tangee lipstick.  Found out that Miss Perry is to play the organ but if I play to have a hey made.  Dr. L is sure I can practice on it. Talked with Alyce Claire until so late that Miss Schraer tapped on her ceiling!  Shame on us!

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