HORSE SHOW
Dearest Mother and Daddy,
TELEGRAM
Dear Mother:
Riding meet wonderful period Letter follows period With love Louise.
♦♦♦
We had our annual horse show at the Plainfield Riding Club last Lriday, May 19. Betty Barr won horsemanship for the 5th, 6th, and 7th grades. Jean Baxter (in a super black outfit -hint! hint!- my birthday is coming) got first place, and Jessie Nunnally second in horsemanship for 3rd, 4th, and 5th Academics. Jessie got the blue in the good hands class. The championship class was won by Jean Baxter, with Jessie second. Jean Baxter and Dorothy Ritterbush got blue ribbons in the pairs class. The pony and saddle horses came next Betty Barr won the pony class, and
Dorothy got the saddle horse class.
Wish you both could have seen it! Great success!
Love,
Louise.
P. S.—Tell Gram that a new sweater would be gratefully received. ♦♦♦
HOCKEY DITHER
TELEGRAM
Beat Kent Place. School in riot. Hockey dinner tonight. Letter follows. Love, Janie.
Dearest Mother and Daddy,
At last we’ve managed it! We beat Kent Place, and the hockey dinner
following it was perfect! Everyone was, of course, in the most cheerful of moods and all set for a grand evening. The table was in the form of a big “H,” and the girls sat with their mothers. Different people got up and made formal (?) speeches— short and funny—and the classes sang their songs. The teachers got in a huddle and serenaded us with their songs. They were really a howl.
All good things have to come to an end, and this was one of them. At 9.30 we all turned in the direction of homework, after a gorgeous time.
This brings the hockey season to an end, but basketball follows. I have to mend a sock or two—write soon.

Love,
Janie.
