So much has happened today!

Saturday, September 21, 1968

Journal: So much has happened today! We had our annual Friends Youth Banquet – it was really great! Pat Shearin sang, “I Believe.” Patsy is a really great singer. Reverend Oscar Brown of the Medford Friends Church was our speaker – and a really great one, too! The decorations really looked pretty nice, too.

Last night the Phoenix varsity football team beat St. Mary’s, 20 to 7! Now we have lost one game to Brookings and have won one! Chuck Crane (32, a junior) really came on strong for the Phoenix Pirates in the first half. It was a really great game – especially since we won! Mike Enright told me he would sign my annual for me, so I guess I’ll take my annual to school Monday! So long for now,

Today was a pretty nice day all in all

Thursday, September 19, 1968

Journal: Today was a pretty nice day all in all! Allen Shearin got my annual back (we thought it had been lost). Bruce Kyle signed it, and now Steve Stribling is drawing a little man for me in it. Becky Addington was real nice to me today, but I am still wary of what could happen (again!). I found out today that Art Ashby is a Christian – he is in my World History class. He is a lot like Steve Stribling, but I think Art is a real neat kid! Well, must go now – so much is coming up. I will try to keep you informed somewhat!

P.S. Mom and I went school shopping last night, and I got the most beautiful wool skirt (plaid), white turtleneck sweater, and orange-red turtleneck, plus school shoes and a neat purse. So long for now!

I only have time for a line or two.

Sunday, September 15, 1968

Journal: I only have time for a line or two. This last week has been really hectic what with school starting, having assignments all ready, and babysitting Friday night (also Saturday afternoon). The first week of school has really been fun, though! We got our last year’s annual Saturday night, so I guess I’ll have to take mine to school to have some kids sign it. Well, tomorrow is Monday, so I must go to bed now, but before I do, here are some highlights of last week: Allen Shearin in three classes, frosh initiation, compliment on looks from Bruce Kyle, babysitting Friday night until 4 a.m. Saturday morning, dinner at Frank and Merrylee Kruger’s Saturday night in honor of Sherrie’s 11th birthday, getting annual Saturday night, frosh-senior tug-of-war (seniors won – YEA!), Sunday church and evening services really neat, seeing Linda and Dave who came from Long Beach, California area (relatives in a way).

So long for now!
