Dreadful sandstorm all during church. I stayed inside all day. Discovered I had left all my school work at school! Called Bernard and he and I met Alyce Claire about 9 – We two ate supper at the Busy Bee and she told me all about her mothers death and funeral. Perhaps it is best for her. I hardly know what to do or how best to comfort her.

Bought 3 pieces of materials for dresses and organdie for the top of my pink – Hope to get Mrs. Parker, whom Mrs. Martens knows to make them for me. A Mrs. Parker sewed for me last year in Gallup too. Saw “Gilded Lily” – Good too. Wrote to Carsey – Pauline called but couldn’t stay long – even to come up to see me!

Telegram came in the morning telling of Mrs. Teague’s death last night. The funeral is in Plainview tomorrow. The Junior High teachers went together to buy a bouquet of roses. In the afternoon I had my hair washed. Went to Ms. Masters at night to play Hearts with cubes. Dick Heath, Earnest Harp, Charlotte St. John, Bernard, Miss Garrett, Helen Snipes, her fellow Mr. Lenore and Allen Reed were there. Later Mrs. Martens told our fortunes. Mine is good, but no so much as last time. My wish for a trip next summer is not to come true according to the cards. Dad’s birthday today and all I’ve done is think of him and start a letter!

Lonesome with my “roommate” gone. No word all day. After choir practice Mrs. Brenneman served us punch and cookies and we played a questioning game. No letter from means good news I guess!

Alyce Claire called by telephone to Lubbock. Her mother not expected to live long! We phoned everywhere but she wait over an hour for the bus! Surely hope it isn’t as serious as Alyce Claire feared it was! Went to Pete’s and Velma’s for supper. Dwight and Velma came over and Harry Mulroy too. Nice chap, he played cards until 12 almost – Quite foolish of me. Here is a verse for the fly leaf of a book!
“Am I yr loss, and you it find,
I pray you hartely to be so kind,
that you will take a letel payne,
To see my wake brothe home agayne.” Uknown *
*This is how it appears in her diary. If you are familiar with this verse please send me a message.

We were paid yesterday so I paid most of my bills today. The radio is our own! !Que gloriosa is my vida! (That glorious is my life!) I played tonight for Earnest Harp to play at Christian Church’s Men’s Brotherhood. Ruth Emmett sang too and D.N. spoke. Really said some good things, too. Mrs. Martens came this afternoon to ask us to invite several to her house on Friday night for Hearts or sumpin! We agreed to invite Joe Carpenter, Earnest Harp, Bernard, Dick Heath, Lenora Shaffer and Charlotte St. John besides Alyce Claire and me. Saw Joe and Earnest tonight and called Bernard. They agreed to go! The matter of what to do this summer worries me – Should love to travel but that is out of the question if no summer salary is forthcoming . We discussed several of us going somewhere in a car, while I was home but am afraid it is only another of our plans that remains merely a plan! “The Isle of Capri” was my favorite popular song. Now it is “When I get too Old to Dream” Reminds me of “If I Love Again it Will Still Be You”

Left at 3:20. Carsey came in at 2:55. The only thing lacking for quite a perfect week-end. Didn’t get to talk but a few minutes and as usual for a short time, I could think of little to say! There is no comparison between him and Bernard and I’ll be rather glad when the latter leaves. He worries me terribly – And the other gets nicer if more distant!
Went to see “Wings in the Dark” after church with Peter , Velma and Bernard.
