Dear Mother + Father: May 12. I am very busy today and do not feel particularly well so the [sooner] I get there with my work the better. The next to the last long theme of the year is due tomorrow (in [Aighsh]). I spoke to Miss Wells. My doubts probably seem willy, but so many people have volunteered the information that soph. math is a waste of time. I am going to take it on the theory that what you want benefits you.

She course reviews until Thanksgiving Vacation. [Are] you com-ing for your reunion? Love, FannieMr. + Mrs. Marcus Aaron, 402 S. Winebiddle Ave, Pittsburgh, Pa.

May 22, 1920. Dear Mother and Father: When I finished this long Masefield theme I will have written the last theme of the year. Hurrah! And then the math review and the history and the Latin review-------. I honestly don't know when I am going to do everything. The French exam is the one I don't care about.

I would win a first prize at that. I surely and pepless and constantly fagged out. I thought I was my last semester at high school, but that was mild compared with this. I was looking at the topics of a Junior on this floor who took American history. They look most interesting to me, and I am glad I am going to have the course. She says that in addition to giving you your subject, Miss Salmon gives more miscellaneous information than any other member of the faculty. It just dawned on me yesterday that the only subject I will have day to day preparation in will be math. I am beginning to feel very grown up. Love, Fannie

Dear Mother, Father and Some of the letters of this machine went out of place, and I cannot get them fixed until next Saturday. I telegraphed for the medicine because I could not get either at Wood's, where I stopped on my way back yesterday or in Arlington, where I walked this morning. I got back in time for dinner last night, cut chapel, went to bed, read French until ten, and went to sleep when the place quieted down at eleven. I have loads and loads of work to do today.

I got back in time for dinner last night, cut chapel, went to bed, read French until ten, and went to sleep when the place quieted down at eleven. I have loads and loads of work to do today. Work stops Wednesday, the twenty-first. I still have to take those two writtens that I missed before vacation. Aunt Bessie and I took lunch at the Avignon restaurant, in the same building as the doctor. It was a very recommended to her, and they surely have good grub, but excuse me from the prices. She insisted on paying. You can settle with her. She said if you do not come down at Midyears, I am to come out to her. She will also meed me next week, and do whatever I want. As far as comfort goes, I got along very well yesterday, so I shall do the same next week. By the time I had treatment, lunch, and gotten my Pullman chair, it was almost train time. I am none to strong on energy, in fact quite the reverse. Otherwise nothing new. Love, I guess the plan for next week, then, is that Aunt Bessie should meet me and we will do as yesterday. Are You coming the time after that, after exams? Mother[ene w/ 11 Jan 1920] Dr, F. did not say whether it looked better to him or not. He hurts much more in the treatment then Dr. S. and it hurts much more for about an hour afterwards. He gets much more air in. I am not better today, that I can notice. I told him that yesterday. He told me to try the medicine again, so I started today. Gee, it is slow!

Dear Mother + Father: I was glad to know that the call last night was nothing serious. sorry the line was bad. Debate tryouts 7th hour. I worked on it all morning - that is, 2 1/2 hor. It is quite a rush. I didn't think tryouts would be so soon. Must hurry to work up my speech. Just ate with the girl who was checked to arrange our side. She is an all A senior, debates of last year!

Had you known Cousin Abe had the [berth] almost across from me, you probably would have [been] easy about my leaving. Marse met me at the station. he went along with the Raubs to the Knickerbocker for breakfast. Bea's aunt. Ms. [Strauss], came in after awhile. She looks pretty gay to me. Marse insisted that inasmuch as I could do nothing but sit around and [saburrrso](?), as he said, and knowing that time was precious to me I should leave on the 9:30 - "which I done", as [Patash] says. There was some [uncertainty about the 11:30's leaving. I met a girl at the Pough. station who came up on that train because neither the 7:00 nor 7:45 left Sunday night. I could not get a parlor car seat, but [had] one in the middle of the coach. There were people standing all the way up. I came out here in a taxi and just made lunch. I felt very badly, so I went to bed at 1:30 + staid till 5:30. I did my French in bed, and rested [2] hrs. I went to bed last night at 9. but could not sleep for age. Thanks for not letting me go Saturday night. I could have let my-self become discouraged if I had letmyself do so. Today I am not much better, but I shall take it ver easy. I do hope it is only from travel + the necessary walking yesterday. Lots of the girls are already wearing summer clothes, + baseball practice is in full swing. [D]-----------! This is a good training for not having what you want. Makeup so far as I know, is as follows: - History - none French - 1 composition Latin - 2 days translation in Virgil's [Buches] English - Read 1 essay. Write 1 very long theme. "2 days' assignment of Masefield's poetry Math - I don't know yet, but it will be the worst of all. Dr. Scott was in the office yesterday, [so] she said she would turn my excuses over to Dr. B. Mrs. Kaufmann wrote Lucy I was not coming back. [Dak] Dr. Z if those pills are the same as what I got at the [Peun]. They are not as effective. Love, Fannie My truck is here. Miss Smith just gave me my excuses, and she told me to be sure to lie down every day. What she knows about me I don't know, but I was surprised that she should start giving me advice. April 14.

[May 7.] Dear Mother and Father: I thought that there was something the matter that we got my course arranged so easily. I was talking to Miss Kitchel yesterday and she urged me so strongly to take a writing course in addition to a literature course, this making English a twenty-four hour major, that I went to Miss Wylie's informal talk fourth hour this morning on the exact values of the different courses in English, their sequence, and the advisability of grouping certain ones together...
Show more[May 7.] Dear Mother and Father: I thought that there was something the matter that we got my course arranged so easily. I was talking to Miss Kitchel yesterday and she urged me so strongly to take a writing course in addition to a literature course, this making English a twenty-four hour major, that I went to Miss Wylie's informal talk fourth hour this morning on the exact values of the different courses in English, their sequence, and the advisability of grouping certain ones together. She talked and answered questions for one hour. I got a lot out of it, but my desire to change my course does not come from what she said. She did not crack up her own department--in fact, her answer to almost everyone was, "Take what you want to take, don't take something just because you think you ought to and if you expect not to like it". She very strongly advised that you should take one writing course if you expect to take literature all the way through, and vice versa, one literature course if you expect to take writing all the way through. She thinks it is too one-sided to take all courses in one phase of the subject. However, that is not what influenced me so much as what Miss Kitchel said yesterday, and what [Miss Wylie] corroborated all through the discussion this morning. I have improved very much in writing this year, but there is still room for more improvement, and I ought to continue not so much for the sake of reaching such a very high level as for the good t will do me in all other subjects, because, no matter what you major or specialize in later, you have to express it through English, and the more forceful your use of English is, the better you will do with your subject. At the end of the discussion I told Miss Wylie that I had not done as will in English as in all the other subjects this year, that I intended to take a literature course next year and wanted to know what her advice was about talking[sic] a writing course--whether they were intended just for those who were particularly good in English or also for those who felt that they had gotten a good deal out of there practice in writing Freshman Year, but still thought they ought to continue to improve some more. She very strongly advised taking critical writing next year in conjunction with a literature course, not only for the practice in writing, but for the training of your mind in developing ogical[sic] thinking, in appreciation of words, and in general intelligent brain-work. She thought it would be a splendid plan for me to take it, but she said, "If your life next year will be absolutely empty for lack of the subject you will have to drop in order to get in, by no means take it". On thinking the subject over, I decided I still want to take history, economics, a literature course, and I must take science, so the only think to drop is math. In doing so I would probably be sacrificing an A for a C, but I think that simply shows that I have gotten one thing out of this year anyhow, a realization of the insignificance of marks. The math department is supposed to be one of the easiest here anyhow, most of your thinking is done in the classroom and at the clack-board, by the obliging professor. Therefore, the mental training that I would get out of that would not be very great. It would be merely pleasure. I certainly ought to get enough training in exactness from science to offset the lack of another year of math. The question resolves itself, then, into this, (As I used to say in Peabody debate), Will it not be more valuable to me during my college course and after I am out of college, to be able to write and express my thoughts ably that it will be to take another year of math, for the pleasure to be gotten out of it? You can get all the necessary information out of the catalogue about the course in critical writing. It is the only on of the writing courses that appeals to me, and Miss Kitchel agrees that it is the one I am best suited for. I don't think I would be strong on narrative writing! I am glad I have my second year of language off my hands anyhow! I ordered a class picture yesterday. It is good, as a whole, but I am awful on it. Phyllis was up here for an hour last night. Her latest is that she is going to get four C's and a D. I think so, too! I just discovered that Third Hall is given again at Commencement, so if you come for your reunion, Mother, as you certainly should, you will see it then. There are chairs--I don't have to sit on the ground, but I'll wear my minter coat and take a blanket anyhow. I had an unusually good day yesterday, which was encouraging after walking to the Inn to meet you, Father. Today is not quite so good, but even so, better than the past. If I feel as well tomorrow and Sunday as yesterday and today, I shall go back to my room Monday. Dr. B. says I can use the porch here whenever I want. I feel quite sure I won't be making a mistake, but if I find that I have, I can always come back. Otherwise I don't think there is anything else to tell you. I cannot quite make myself out, voluntarily giving up a course that I know I will do well in, for one that I know I need more. R. S. V. P. immediately and in detail what you think on the subject as elections are due on May fourteenth, and also your advice is always right, I suppose due to your great experience!! I studied English Speech two hours this morning and Miss Rogers said there was a noticeable improvement. Wishing you the same, [Fannie.]

The "[Ten] O'clock Club" has been changed to the "Society for the Suppression of Midnight [Maniacs]" I was [wasting] on Sunset yesterday for the second time. I am glad I found a course that is not bumpy, or I would not be able to go. I went yesterday with Phyllis' room - mate, to get her in [trim] for finishing the Latin re-view. It is quite an experience to take a girl from [Mississippi] on her first coast in the deep snow. I can easily see how that [Maben] girl was drowned. Speaking of the lake, - the ice carnival is Saturday night, and I can-not skate! Talk about having to exert your power of self control. I have gym this after-noon. I plan to do some more reviewing this after-noon. I have not got the necessary thing for exams unfortunately - a [clear] head. Otherwise nothing new. Love, Fannie Jan. 22.

Hang----. Search me what I'll do. Ruth Frankline just told me argumentation is very stiff and requires a lot of work. I am not so keen about thay[sic] for next year under those circumstances. Miss Cowley was very nice, outside of that, I mean. Sometimes she is easy to talk to, and sometimes she is not. She said among other things that unless you are particularly brilliant in a subject it is a mistake to double the second year already. I am going back to my room tomorrow noon. I fooled around and was lazy most of the day. I finished the French book. Otherwise there is nothing new to tell you.

I am not keen on reading and [and] analyzing Montaigne in old French. Monday work is to be [about] twice as long, I think. That took two hours. Henrietta [Seetuir's] tea was in Junior Parlor. Miss Smith and Miss [Pahuer] were there. I'll take the 1:09 and take some lunch along and eat it on the train. I could not think of taking a later train, Mother, with you in New York I am going to do my Latin prose tonight I think Miss [Bowene] will expect us to have it done, as she assigned it last week. Last year she expected work done the day the armistice was signed, so it pays to be on the safe side All [Baby] History classes were required to attened a lecture eight hour on Life in Feudal Castles by Miss Jennings, a member of the history department. It was quite good, but I think my brain was a little dull from too much work. And there I am now - that is all I know. I do hope I'll get absolutely everything done for Monday. I am all excited - I know I am a kid. I won't write tomorrow, as this will go in the morning mail. Love, Fannie Nov. 11. Please have the brown silk stocking -> darned before washing, or it will be a goner.
