Transcription Notes

School as usual. I took the afternoon classes by myself, Rabold being on the sick list with a strained back and Maud having shopping to do. So I taught the Morris Jigs and afterwards several new country dances. Miss Wathern dined with us at the Old English place. She is a real nice woman despite her bulky appearance! I like her very much and am glad she is going to play for me next week. We had a nice long talk with her but did not ask her to return home with us as we had so many thngs to do. About 9.45 the Steinbergs paid us a visit. She is much thinner & livelier than of yore; he looked like a sulky whipped dog but brightened up after a cigarette or two and the fruit lemonades which we all had together. Only one more full day of the school, thank goodness. Weather still cool but close in the afternoon with thunder in the evenings.
