Worked at school – practiced. Pauline came for the afternoon. Didn’t stay so long.
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
The vote boils down to the Absentee count.
Terrible Day! Kept 3 in until after 4 o’clock. Went to Burdettes and cut out a blouse – Stayed all night.
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
Carl Sagan was born. Hitler gives a speech encouraging the German youth to fight and a patent is filed on the construction of an umbrella. US patent 2111578 A was not publicized until 1938.
Change of schedule – 5 -40 minute periods with the first used for club activities, operetta or study hall! Adding a study first period to some schedules already filled with them! I cant say I approve but our advice wasn’t asked! Went to choir practice and Bernard took me afterwards to see “Menace” (Murder Mystery) at the Princess and hear Ben Ali or some such named person, give answers to people’s questions – Home about 11:30!
Dick Brenneman brought Alyce Claire some venison he got so we had it for supper. It was good but there was quite a bit of it! Went to the tap and gym class – paid for the two times I’ve gone. Enjoyed it – rode around a little afterwards with Betsy Johnson and ate an ice cream cone!
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today: Election results are in…for the most part.
Election Day! I don’t know whom I’d vote for if I were voting, but I can’t yet! Had a sore throat and started a grand cold. Ate supper with Penny and Alyce Claire at the Busy Bee! Letter from Ty-Ty with a not again from Dad saying he will be up to visit me as soon as he can get a ride to Carlsbad! Hope that’s soon – Asked Mr Villard about getting off the Friday after Thanksgiving and he said he thought I could get a sub all right! Girls Chorus tonight didn’t get much practicing done! Everything seems to be at a standstill.
Here’s what else was happeing 80-years-ago today:
And elections are underway.
By afternoon I had a sore throat – Bernard called to take me to a S.S. party at Dr. Haire’s. We played Bunco – Had a pretty good time. Bernard raved so about Henderson’s leaning that I had to tell him to hush. Nice refreshments of cider and doughnuts.
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
A new Time magazine.
Letter from Jonathon says that “Green Pastures” and the Russian Cosack Chorus are coming to English’s in Indianapolis and asks which shall he see! I hope he can see both! Dr. Crile preached farily well this morning. Bernard is killed that Dr. Henderson is not returning. I knew he would be! Mr. Gill (John) sang and everyone enjoyed him! Am rather looking for Dad this afternoon – (later) Have looked for him all afternoon but I guess he won’t come – Went to see “Happiness Ahead” with “Pop goes my Heart” for theme song. Quite good!
Here ‘s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
The mid-term election was still 2 days away.
Started home about 8:30 – Arrived about 3:30. Stopped in Vaughn for lunch. Uneventful trip for me were rather tired, all of us! After going to the P.O. and thru town, I decided to practice for tomorrow. A Mr. Gill who was to sing Sunday, came to practice. He had a good voice and after practicing he offered to take me home – Before we got home he invited me to supper! I accepted. His uncle is Walter Gill – After supper we rode out toward Clovis and he sang to me, every type of song. I love to hear him – He also quoted poetry that was original but not so good. I am home about 8:15 because I thought I might have a word from or about Dad. None- Saw in the paper that Dr. Henderson has been transferred to Arkansas Conference.
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
Believe it or not there were negative political ads.
Here we have a political advertisement from the Nov. 3, 1934, Lancaster Daily Gazette, one which for all its ferocity was a mere inset in a lengthy two-page harangue by Renick W. Dunlap, Congressman Mell G. Underwood’s opponent that year.
It must have been a lively campaign, but Mr. Dunlap lost anyway, 57 percent to 43 percent.
A new New Yorker and Saturday Evening Post plus Science News.
Had breakast with Agnes Bartlett, Nell Felgar, Betty Evans, Betty Martin, Eula Tucker, and Jeanette. Had a good time with that Gallup bunch. Went to the English Section – quite intersting – Saw Corona Dillinea but not to speak to. Saw Mrs. Emerson from Vegas and Fay Heath. Had seen Magelle and Creighton Brown the day before. Bought two pair of earings at the five-and-dime – Went by the Art Museum and saw a picture of Ex. Gov. Dillon. I think, done by Mr. Morris. Went to the show with Pauline – saw “Mr. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” – Not the Mr. Wiggs I’d pictured at all!
Mahota and Margie (her sister) ate supper with us. I went with M. to her room to visit until Jeanette and Pauline came by to go to the play. Sante Fe players put on “Sure Fire” a story of Billy the Kid. Fairly well done but a part of the scenery fell in the last scene. Tsk! Tsk! Destroyed the effectiveness, Between-the-act numbers were typical Mexican songs of an orchestra dressed as charros. Played several numbers I learned last summer. After the play, the floor was cleared for dancing. I talked with Mr. Berckness for a while at first. Danced with Pete, Mr. Herbert and Emery. Promised 3 others but they stopped. I had started too late! Pete took us back to the hotel and on the way we stopped to get something to drink. Jeanette and Pauline were good and ordered hot chocolate. I ordered what Pete did, sherry and port wine. I didn’t like the sherry so he drank most of it but the port wine was good. Nearly 3 o’clock when we retired. Did I feel a bit “woosey”? – not serious though.
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
War is brewing in Europe.
Went to breakfast at the Mayflower and saw Euls, Marian, Becky, Miss Davis, Mahota, her sisters and others – Alyce Claire stayed at Bishop’s Lodge but ate breakfast with us – Jeanette and Pauline went to a meeting. Alyce Claire and I fooled around met friends of hers and rode around. Saw several old-timers. Roman Cochran Barton was there – a teacher in Santa Rosa. Her husband seems to be in Hawaii. Ate lunch with the Reganshergs, Margaret James and a friend. Saw Henderson but not home. Went to a part of the afternoon session. Saw Richard Sheppard, Hubert Lindhal and May DeGeorge from Gallup who played in the All-State Band! Had dinner with Pete in a charming, Mexican – arty place on Manhattan St. called Chamiza Inn. Several Roswell teachers there. Rode around later but decided we wouldn’t go to the dance. I got rather disgusted with him because he practically went to sleep! I was tired but not so much as to show it so badly! Came back about 10:30 and talked a long time again.
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today. Ginger Rogers is getting married and war is brewing.
