Went to school at 10:30 and registered. Saw Frances. Met Elda Springer who has been here a week and sick most of the time!  Poor child, We took her to show her rooms and she decided on 46 Naranjo just around the corner from school. Must mail the letter to the bank. The note for $150 was waiting for me when I arrived!  Jean Crawford (Colo Springs) has decided to stay with me here so we moved upstairs tonight. Saw “Rayado Del Sol” at the Palacio de Bellas Artes by Roberto Sosto. The most gorgeous elaborate settings I ever saw as a background for native songs and dance from Jalio, Michoacan and the penninsula.  The colors were so vivid that my eyes began aching before it was over! I am taking 4 courses = Mex Lit with Junez Ruida, Latin Literature under Pimentel, Educ Problems in Mexico under Palma and Commerce between Span-Am and US under Durand. Sounds interesting and I have nothing at eight 0 clock!  We get cute little folders containing our picture on the registration card. Mrs. Ruiz is learning, or rather studying, Eng.  He has been to class twice!  but speaks it rather well at that.  We have fun talking both languages at the table.
