     Girls home from Fredonia to play for girls voc. school festival - Drive to Woodlawn to meet them -  On Lake Ave the row of poplars heavy with long reddish cat kins - (They lingered in my mind, and I though of walking under them with a feeling of North country across the road) -

     Girls looking well and happy, excited over showing their new hair-cuts (called feather-cut) - Their hair looked nice,  better than the old shoulder length -

     Our supper gay - it is good for us all to be together again.

     Evening - Just Sally + I to concert - Berlins + Nichols next to us.[i]
