Tues. Dec 24, 1918. BILL and I helped HICKS SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS with a
Christmas market today and came on out home for Christmas. So did MAY,
ORA, DOT and GLADYS, ROXIE, EVERETT and LOUISE, DEE and MAC. We have been
arranging presents on the tree for Santa like we did when we were children.
But "those beautiful days" can never, no never return.
Wed. Dec 25, 1918. Merry Christmas! Every body got a lot of nice presents
from the tree and we had Santa for DOT and OPAL. All we children were here
for Christmas because mom begged so hard.

Tues. Nov 29, 1932. Tonight we members of Alpha Class entertained our
mothers at a lovely dinner and party which had a shower for MARY ROGERS as
a fitting climax. It was said by many to be the loveliest party they ever
attended and one they will long remember. Forty six were present. What a
wonderful class of girls MARY HENDERSON and I have built up as teachers -
with their cooperation.
Sun. Dec 7, 1941. "Pearl Harbor." What news. Pearl Harbor was bombed last

"slaughtered"?
