Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
Life is not particularly interesting these days. Pretty soon it will be, when I get back to the "Younk lady" gentleman. I seem to stay more or less the same, which is something to be thankful for, but I do get sick of it every now and then.
It is pouring this afternoon--because Field Day is scheduled for tomorrow and because Third Hall is scheduled for tomorrow night.
I saw Miss White for a minute this morning. I am not exempt from the second year modern language requirement. I am to see her further next week. The only thing, I guess, that will exempt me from it is an exam on French seven and eight.
I handed in my elections this morning. I will have Miss Wells, because my chemistry comes the hour Pap White has that math. I went over to Miss Cowley's and camped outside her door for three quarters of an hour until she should come. She said she would be there right after chapel. One of her advisees told me today that she would not sign her card until she elected math, and the girl did not want to take it. Is not that ridiculous? She is going to write to the dean's office this summer and ask to have her elections changed, telling them why she elected math!
I met Mary Heckel in Miss Cowley's room last night. She said she had been intending all semester to look me up, that she had been told to do so. She may be all right, but she did not look particularly good to me. Of course my first judgments are generally wrong anyhow.
I had to give a two minute speech in Expressional English this morning. The class had to write criticisms, and then give them to the objects of their attack. Mine were mostly favorable! I orated on Florence Nightingale, inasmuch as it was apropos at the time.
Miss Bourne told us all the Latin that we had to do for the exam. We surely will be held responsible for just abot twice as much as last semester.
I spoke to Miss Mullaly yesterday. She can take you from June third to June fifth (Friday). They are sold out for Commencemtn. I also got a Commencemtn program. It does not interest me particularly. If I stay it is so that you can come to your reunion. Do exactly as you please about it, but if you want to come, please do.
The Vassarion is out. But I believe I said so yesterday. It gives last year's daisy chain, among many other things. Carolyn Bailey was in it.
Excuse me for asking if you read the books, Pete. I thought
