uptown with Jimmie. They were uptown for a long time at the
garage. Came home. We had lunch, fooled around.
February 22. I was invited to go to a surprise party for “Jo”
Johnson Sunday nite. George came over. I asked him if he cared.
Said we were supposed to go with Jack and Rita to the show. Dad
gave us the car. We bought Jo’s present. Went down to Merrigan’s.
They both got mad at me. I decided not to go. Then G. and I argued

and I went to Church then to Matthew’s. Had fun!

February 28. At school, George would just look at me disgust-

me if he could. I said, “Yes.” He came over, we made up. He made
me promise not to write to Joe anymore. We went to Merrigan’s.

February 29. George came over in morning and afternoon. We
