September 23. We went upstairs after school to try out for
cheerleaders. Father Johnson said he’d pick them next day. More
fun waiting!!!!

September 24. Was chosen as cheerleader out of about 20
kids that went up. Practiced yells after school. Played softball in
evening on team.

September 29. In afternoon M. Cain and I took a walk. Ra-
phael Behrens and Lowell Gwinn took us home. We had my dog,
“Speed.” Everybody though he was darling. In evening Raphael
came down. We took Gloria and Jean a piece home and came back.

September 30. Had our first “pep” meeting. Did pretty good.
Father Johnson wanted to know what I did Sunday! Ha! Ha! He!
He!

October 1. Sister Ernestine tried to take a letter I wrote to Joe
away from me, but I wouldn’t give it to her. Was she mad? Not
much! After school I met Bob Thomas uptown. He bought me a
soda and brought me home.

October 2. (Mother’s birthday) I went to see Top Hat. Next
evening came down again. Bob Thomas, said that Boarders [at
Routt, including George Fritscher who has yet to enter the diary]
said M. Cain and I were the best-looking girls in Routt. Came
down again in evening.

time. Bob came down again. We took my dog walking.
