Swell time.

a cute letter from Joey in morn. Not bad, eh!
February 11. George told me in a note that Father Coonen
said he had too much nite work. Whoa! He wanted to see me after
school, but boys had to stay in and girls had Glee Club. Said he’d
call me up. I stayed home and studied.

Mildred, he, and I went down to Merrigan’s. Boy, was it slick out.
George and I fell down right in the middle of the street. Had a
