These are transcriptions of my grandmother's journals and writings from different points in her life from her girlhood diaries in Kansas in the early 1900's to her later years.

Zella got several more graduating presents today. A coin purse from the Woodbury girls, a ten dollar gold piece from Aunt Kate & Uncle Greeley, two beauty pins with "Zella" on them from Uncle Stewart and a dutch collar pin from Aunt Bessie and spoons from Uncle Jim, Uncle Ralph and Clifford & Lena Denny. I went to Commencement exercises with Howard. Lottie got the scholarship, what do you know about it, and Zella got second. Zella came home with Ogilvia. The rest of the family went of course. We went for our reports today Miss S. and I had quite a confidential talk. She didn't like to have me "spoon" but when she found out that I really loved Howard, she told me to keep on loving him. I told her and Miss Terrill goodbye. My general average for the year is 99 7/45.
