Mr. Gift the new Normal Inspector talked to us this morning -- Starbeck and Curdy went home at noon. We didn't have any school this afternoon. They had a school meeting though and I attended it and sat with Hattie Spalding. There were about 125 or 150 there and they let Mr Hoover be re-elected and Mr Nelson be elected in papa's place. It was quite disgusting. Raymond Gilkeson took me in to Fogwell's and treated me to an ice cream soda -- oh yes! Then I went to Cecil's and practiced a song, went back to town, found papa and we went home. O.H. kindly informed us that we would have to meet Zella to-night. Papa, Bernice and I went to Literary, but papa didn't get there until the last half as he went to meet Zella, however she went to the dance with Beulah and Clifford. I sang - punk - sat with Harold A. behind and Howard and Bess M (he took her home & Harold took Mary M), debated and Jean & I won. Hurrah!! The judges were: Helen Palmer, Miss Ellis, & Mabel Holleck. Max H asked to take me home so I let him but we went down to the dance first. I danced waltz with Kenneth R, two step -- Turkey in the Straw -- with Eugene S, Circle Kenneth R, Mr. Stewart, Earl Beale, Darrell, Sam, Clifford and another waltz with Clifford C and then we went home -- just love to dance -- but I don't like Max H --huh-uh! Zella stayed all night with Beulah.
