    3. Sun. Feb. 24, 1918. GEORGE GRAY and his wife, FRANK, BLANCHE and BILL were here for dinner today. We certainly have some time together. Bur poor FRANK and the candy and apples I hope he isn't very sick tomorrow or I'll be to blame. We had plenty of music and singing and some pretty good eats. Took one picture but it won't be good as it was drizzling rain. The kids got lost coming out and came thru the worst dirt road. GALE was out again for awhile. Mon. Feb. 25, 1918. Oh! It's raining again all day. Sure, because I intended to take some pictures. Everybody has some news to report to me. Ha! I'm afraid I'm getting to be a secret Bureau of Information. We got off the last period today because the water supply would not come on and about ten minutes after we left, it came on again. Tues. Feb. 26, 1918. We ordered a new Chevrolet today and can get it any time within a few days. My! But I'm glad because we have wanted one for so long and we can have so much enjoyment from it. Papa called BOB (ROGERS) at Indianapolis to see if he liked the idea. Wed. Feb 27, 1918. Received a letter from LYONS [from BILL HENRY] today. This has been a busy day at BHS. Tonight I must study my Civics lesson. Thurs. Feb. 28, 1918. Mamma left for Indianapolis tonight. She is going to visit at ROXEY's (ROGERS) and do some shopping. GLADYS (ROGERS) is coming down from Fair Oaks tomorrow night so they can be together in the City. Received another letter from LYONS today. Ha! Fri. Mar. 1, 1918. Goody, this is Friday and no more school until Monday. Mamma and BOB won't be home until Sunday night, so dad, PAUL (ROGERS) and I will be alone. That means I am to be chief cook and dishwasher for a few days. Sat. Mar 2, 1918. The busiest day in the week. I have been busy all morning with the housework. Dad and I are going to town this afternoon to do some trading. BILL is coming out tonight. Sun. Mar. 3, 1918. Dad and I went to church at MT. ZION this morning and PAUL went up to EARL's. DEE called me a while ago and said CLEO and JACK were coming out to see me this afternoon. I have some more outline work to do in "Carlyle's Essay on Burns," that I must do. Mon. Mar. 4, 1918. Had just finished my outline work yesterday when MURL and his dad, UNCLE JIM and MR. WALK, from MORGANTOWN drove up in the car. They had not gone yet when CLEO and JACK came. BILL came about 7:00 and brought MR. ROLLISON and MR. GROUNDS out with him. We all had quite a nice time together. The folks came home last night from the city. Tues. Mar. 5, 1918. CLEO went to school with me yesterday afternoon. She was so glad to get back to school and see all her old schoolmates. She is working as a stenographer in her uncle's law office at VINCENNES now and enjoys her work so much. Wed. Mar. 6, 1918. Mamma got my graduation clothes at Indianapolis, three dresses, hose, trimmings and etc. She also purchased a suit for herself and some pretty living room rugs. We will have plenty of sewing to do now. Thurs. Mar. 7, 1918. Hurrah! Our car came yesterday, and the folks went to LINTON after it. BOB learned to drive it easily with a little practice. I received a nice letter from MRS. BAKER today. Fri. Mar. 8, 1918. DELLA said WARREN was in FRANCE yet and had written her to have me write him. JAMES had also arrived across safely and was drowned in the wrecked ships near IRELAND. Oh, yes, BILL and I received our summons to report at the Domestic Science Dept. on Mar. 12.
