It is winter again - real Winter! All morning a cold wind has been chasing grey clouds across the sky and at noon a fine snow began to come down,getting harder all afternoon, until now it is a regular blizzard: trees and houses have become indistinct and the howling wind hurls the snow hither and thither.
Before school this morning and at noon I worked on the posters. Bill and I wrote Poetry again to-day. I started it, laborously working out this masterpiece:

But he posed and posed in vain;
The way he posed and posed and posed
Certainly’d give one a pain.
