Friday, June 22, 1928
Yesterday afternoon I went after my hat. It’s good looking and how. It makes me look very dignified. A young lady. I’ll have to act my age when I wear that hat. When Helen came to school this morning she was just full of Alice. But I had to get her started. After I had asked her a few questions she opened up and told me all about it. Alice must be heaps of fun. They have a bride staying with them. It must be thrilling. She came over on the boat with Alice. And they both just graduated from U.C. The bride can’t be married for ten days so she’s staying with them till the time’s up. Our new minister came over on the same boat with them.

I'm very excited about reading about my Aunt Annabelle. I'm sure we will all learn new "old time" expressions and gain a perspective into the life of an 18 year growing up in a foreign land. I wonder if there were older diaries that just didn't get saved. I wish you all could have seen all those old photos taken in Manila in the typical brown colors of the time. I can't imagine having to wear the cotton stockings though in the tropics even though Baguio where the boarding school was was up in the cooler mountains. Can't wait to see how this stroy progresses. Good job Jane!
