"Dear Diary

No homework! Only math, and I did that third period.

Blouse finished 5th period. I'm glad. I'll get a C, but Mom says she won't sign my card until she sees it on paper.

Gilda may not be able to go downtown Sat. But we shall see.

Mrs. Weissman, math sub. Mrs. Peterson, science sub. Science test 50 ques. tough

Gilda came, we had fun, sort of."
