Transcription Notes
A very pleasant morning. We sang all our favourite songs; then I gave a little talk, summing up Summer School and called upon them to teach accurately and uphold the accurate dissemination of the dances which is after all the main purpose of the E.F.D.S. Then we did a good many dances in the way we knew best and afterwards for the fun of the thing Fifine [Peabody] & Mrs Gibbs did I’ll go & enlist, and Maud & Lily Bonnets [so Blue] — all to rapturous applause & laughter. Mrs Storrow & Lily departed for Plattesburgh in the afternoon after the exams at which we passed 4 advanced (Rabold Vichman, Louise Chapin & Fifine) 4 Elementary & 4 C[ountry] D[ance]. Rabold & Peggy Scovill dined with me — Maud going to the Herds. Finished packing & then to bed.Location
