Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

I worked all yesterday afternoon on my history topic. I did the whole thing from Jefferson Davis's point of view. It was very interesting. I have almost finished it.

I spent the evening--that is, one and one half hours, working out my course for the next two years. I have a cracker jack course doped out, but rather stiff. But as far as that goes, you can make any course just about as easy or as hard as you want to, and you might as well take the courses with the people who are worth while. The present prospect is no more languages, but keeping up the Spanish with Latin American history second semester next year and keeping up French, German, and Spanish with a supposedly very high-brow but very interesting course in Comtemporary Drama Senior year. You read the plays in the original and discuss and write the papers in English. It sounds very good to me. The Philosophy work in better next year than Senior Year. I think I am better sufficiently intelligent to digest it next year, don't you. The plan for next year is:--
French Rev.
Nineteenth Century Poetry
Historical Introduction to Philosphy
Either Development of the Drama (if it is prerequisite to Contemporary Drama Senior Year), or Contemporary Eastern Europe, or Biology
Psychology

I have to beat it now.

I got a card of thanks from Pauline.

I don't want any of the things from Miss Alice.

Love,

Fannie
