I was just in the mood to write you and call you a bunch of names but your Mother saved your neck. She just called me and ask me if I knew any news that would interest you. Of course I couldn’t think of anything right then, but I told here I would write you again. The reason I restrain myself from calling you a bunch of vile names, is the fact that your mother said you averaged about 9 a week at present, You must have an awful ink bill. It may be a day or two before I mail this as I want to get it all full so I won’t waste any paper. And then too, it might take me that long to think of anything. This may be all stale news, but I’ll write it anyway.

We’ll begin with teeth. Ralph Vaughn got a couple knocked out in the sectional; and Jane Friedley went skating and was riding on someone’s car, fell off, and knocked out some of her teeth. So much for teeth.

Mary Kathrynn had club last week. I don’t remember who got the prizes (I didn’t), but I remember that shorthand notebooks seemed to be quite the rage.

Mary Kathryn and I went to the show Sunday and saw Eddie Cantor in “Strike Me Pink”.  I didn’t like very well. Oh Yes, I went to the show last nite with Barney. Saw “The Melody Lingers On. We picked Helen R. and Jack Shaw up to take them home, but we saw the ambulance so we followed it clear out to Boylston just to see if stop in front of a house.  Nothing exciting at all.

Barbara and Dick don’t seem to be hitting it off very well, but we think they’ll get over it. Marjory and Charlotte have been going to operetta practice all the time and having dates along the side with Sam Mitchell and Eugene Utterback.

I suppose your Mother told you that I am planning to go to the State tourney. Esther, Maxine and I think we are going over together in Esther’s car. Barbara, Ruth Anna, Thelma, Marguerite, and a bunch of them are going too.  We’ll try and make arrangements to see you. Be sure and write me about it.

Your Mother also tells me that you got your correspondence mixed up and wrote Maxine twice. She hasn’t said anything to me about it, but I bet the old gal is thinking plenty.

Oh Yes, Ruth Anna and I think maybe we will go to a business college together (I’ll let you know when we leave)

Well now guess what I read in the paper? Miss Deloris Louetta announced her marriage to George Thompson. The wedding took place last November. I guess o one knew anything about it until her mother happened to find the license while cleaning house. I guess she is going to finish school,. I would think she feels kind a out of place though. The paper said that George would finish this year’s work.

I guess I will listen to the regional broadcast this afternoon, and I’m going to try and coax Dad into taking me over for the final game tonite. Got a letter from Ralph today. He has been in California for two or three weeks now.  He said he had sent me a turtle, but I haven’t seen anything of it yet..  I guess the Staccato Club dance will be April 24th. Don’t you think you could arrange to go?

Euvola is planning to have a dance April 3. They have asked a lot of guests. I don’t know whether I’ll go or not. I don’t know who to take. The girls are supposed to go after the fellows and take them home. The girls are supposed to trade dances, etc. The Euvola members are going to send flowers to the fellows too.  Some dance. Sounds like some of the Armstrong’s ideas to me.  Ann is still taking advantage of leap year.  Her latest, s far as I know, is Don McMurtory.

Well, don’t forget to write as soon as possible. Be sure to let me know when you will be home.    yours    mary ellen
