Fat letter from Jaime telling me how hard he has been working since the strike started! He gets practically everything furnished in food, room and even some clothes! My knit dress is in the P.O. Now all I have to do is borrow enough money to get it out!  Alyce Claire slapped a boy yesterday and was called up on the carpet today by Mr. Pope – It is all rather foolish a thing to get hot about but she is quite upset about it.  Old D.N. sure did scold her.  He probably didn’t take her part with the fond mama either.   That is the sort he is.  Then downtown he had the nerve to tease her about it!   Wrote letters to Dr. Zimmerman, President of Texas Univeristy, Pres of Girls School at Gulfport Miss. and D. McKay at Portaten. Decided against Sil. Ross. Believe I’d just as soon stay here – Must remind the Salt Lake man, too.

Alyce Claire back again after missing a day and a half.  The S.S. party went off at Adele Green’s.  I borrowed A.C’s car and was glad to have it.  Only one other care for 14 people.  I gave red sweet pea favors to all the ones who came. Home by 10:30
