Tues Mar 10, 1914

I've been trying to get at this for ages and haven't had time.

Mr. Pietsch left Tuesday, Feb 17. We certainly enjoyed him. We had a young people's meeting at Krause's Sat. evening. We got in bed at 12 P.M. The Green girls went to bed at 1 A.M. Sunday he spoke in S.S. and in a sermon at 3 P.M. besides the regular meetings. Tuesday we had another young people's meeting at Uncle George's. We asked so many questions that we didn't get onto a Bible lesson at all. I guess he thinks we're awful ignorant. When he left he sent back a list of ten questions for us kids to answer. I got mine in last Friday. They were pretty hard.

Last Sunday I ate dinner at Krause's. Pearl J. and her father were there too and we had a fine time. Yesterday Mrs. Krause and Helen were over. We popped corn and had a good time.

I forgot to write that Gladys was here from Feb 29 (Sat.) to March 3 (Tues.). We had a grand time. We made this statement (I'll have to write it or I'll forget it) "On March 3, 1918, where will I be, what will I be doing and what will I be thinking of? (at noon)"

Yesterday in Lab, Ina and I were playing in a beaker full of mercury. We got some out and of course got it all over our rings. The

y were a sight. We both used silver polish on them and now they look right respectable. Irene was over last night. We worked till they called her home. That reminds me -- We sent off for some sweet potatoes (otherwise ocarinas) and now our mas won't let us practice on them. It's awfully provoking but I don't blame them much. Papa calls them fog horns.

Miss Graff just now made Blanche move back one seat. I am wondering why for two days she hasn't moved me. I guess my turn will come this afternoon. It's not like her to let me sit two consecutive days in one place.

We had a fine dinner of baked squabs yesterday. Harry Mc. gave them to us. Think we'll have beef stew to-day. Hope so.

Well, I guess I've wandered over enough territory. I've spent just exactly 20 precious minutes out of a precious period. I don't care tho'. I don't believe in killing myself. Anyway, I have all my English and as much as I can get of my Latin. The English wasn't hard to get -- the same as yesterday. Guess I'll run over

the personal pronouns (I mean the Latin ones) and see how quick I can get rid of 7 minutes so I can get some dinner before I starve.
