As the new year came into being I was sitting with Mary Crosby and David Gearheart on Dewey Bay watching the search lights from the boats in the harbor and listening to the whistles and the hundred and one guns going off at the Army and Navy Club. We sat their listening and enjoying it all for about twenty minutes and still it was going on. We went to the University Club and had something to drink and some sandwiches. I got home about one thirty. New Years morning the Polo Club had an at home for all its members. We went out and took Hope about twelve. There was heaps of people there. We had dinner about one and then sat around until about three watching people dance and some people that were stupid performing acrobatics. We brought Hope home with us. At about five thirty we started out for the party at the Baldwins. On the way out we took Hope home. Their huge house was still decorated for Christmas in wonderful decorations as usual. They had pretty good orchestra and I had a good time. Home about ten thirty. I expect this to e a wonderful year for me with graduation, our trip and college entrance.
