week has been a very busy one. Miss Kapp thinks that we Seniors have nothing to do, and so does her best to occupy our time, to save us from "ennui" she says. Essays without number she would pile on us, if we did not sometimes rebel.
German this year is our hardest study, and as I am decidedly lazy, I think I shall not take it next semester, especially as it is all literature and essays, and little reading.

Julie
