My. S.S. class decided on a sunrise breakfast next Sunday Morning.  Went to M.E. to a good service except that Rev. Hempstead read his sermon!  Heard a Harin Simmons quartet that was exceptional.  At 3:30 hear Miss Garrett’s Sextet with Rev. Hempstead in Miss G’s composition “Servant, Master and Lord” It was beautiful – Miss Garrett accompanied on the organ.   Started embroidering a blanket for Dit.  At Grady’s, Capt. Starr talked to me about Mexico – got me all excited to go again!  Heard the Hardin-Simmons chorus at the Baptist Church and enjoyed it. It has been a very enjoyable day on the whole!  Lots of wind at noon and a few drops of rain.  Not enough to show but tonight it has turned much colder.

Alyce Claire has come – came about 8 – with the news that they had moved Joyce to Lubbock.  My 8th sections at school are as mixed up!  And I can’t find a decent group in the whole school. Met the new teacher Mr. Sprinkle who has a family.  At 7 Charlotte Klyng, Alyce Claire, Lucy Mae Crome and I went to see “Rose of the Rancho” I like Gladys Swarthout. Then we didn’t  have sense enough to go home so we tripped over to the Princess and saw Myrna Loy in “Whipsaw” with Spencer Tracy.  Rather Good. Finished grading (5) papers and slept with Alyce Claire rather than put new sheets on my bed at that time of night!  Surely do seem to require lots of sleep lately
