practice on at home, so this kept my grade at a D-. I did O.K. in my other classes; 3 B's and 2 C's, so I made it into the A11 on February 2, 1934. New semester starts on Monday.

I need to back track a little. November of 1933 I met a new fellow, Charles Estell at McLymans, he was in the Navy and McLymans seemed to be "a home away from home" for these young sailors. Whenever he had "shore leave" we'd have a date - usually a show at our neighborhood show house. On Armistice day we went to 2 parades which was fun.

They wouldn't let me back in school so every Monday I went to the nurses office, she'd check my temperature and send me back home. I'd go to my English and History and Civics classes and get my assignments for the coming week and turn in homework from the previous week.

The "main event" for our family was the wedding of Dan and LeVer on May 16th 1933. As I've mentioned before - at school it was the "Big Broadcast" - the public address system had been
