Went to the Methodist Church with Carsey and Roy Marcone. Poor sermon – rode around after dinner until time to go. Visited the office where Carsey works in the Inventory Dept.  Left for Roswell about Camille 2.jpg 3:30. Stopped  at Caprock or somewhere for a sandwich and more coffee.  Got to R about 8. All four of us. Pete, Dixie Smith, Carsey and I saw “Camillle” fair only – good spots.  They left to go back about eleven! Surely hope they got home in time to go to bed in time to get up for work!  Carsey was wonderful to me the whole week-end paid me lots of complements – He used to be so silent and absentminded. He still is absent-minded to a degree but I never laughed anymore or had more fun on any week – and party before!  Hope he can come over real soon!

This proposal was rejected.

Slept until 1:30 P.M! Some record – Graded a few papers and was thinking of going to supper when Foster called and wanted a date.  We double-dated with Ellis and Ellen (?) Anderson who is bacteriologist for Dr. Haire.  Saw the same show I saw yesterday but we rode around and had a good time until 11:30.  No word from Alyce Claire
