(This is an entry from the journal entitled “Mexico Summer” written by Elizabeth Whipple Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago)

Went to church at Gante with Carsey – The service lasted from 11:30 until 1:15!!  We were to meet Betty at the Park at 1:00 but knew it would be too late.  She met us later downtown – Ate dinner downtown and when I called Mrs. Ruiz she said I had money $30 came from the family but Betty had notice of $70 bonus deposited so I guess I won’t need the $30 – I’ll probably have $75.  Ojala.  We three went to Churubusco.  It is as pretty as ever and has the most beautiful gardens in all Mexico – We got back just in time to be 1/2 hour late for waffles at Davis.’  However Mrs. Davis had not come home as our lateness didn’t matter. Got the piece of music “Amapole del Camino” (poppy road) that I had left Ethelyn a peso for last year! She Betty are both Alpha Delta Pi’s.

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

Adolf Hitler made his first public speech since his operation in May, emerging from his retreat in the Bavarian mountains to give an address in Rosenheim warning his opponents that the Nazis were ready to crush all opposition.
