day has been hotter than the one before. It's very nice to feel we are all through, though of course we don't realize it. Every body is departing and it's quite exciting. We are already saying how nice it will be when we all come back next fall.

Our class pictures have come they are pretty good on the whole though a lot of girls are left out. We are all going to drive with Mr. and Mrs. Pelton tonight. Ruth. So hot.
