School was terribly dull today. In English the teacher read some essay or other and Mr. Rojo gave us a written lesson and Mr. Sarrano gave us a lecture. I got excused from part of the Spanish Class and didn’t have to write because the debating team had to meet and get organized. After lunch I finished my book by Burta Ruek and read the last two numbers of a serial in the Post and then about four o’clock I started to study. I worked from then until six thirty principally on the debate. Just before dinner I went over to Mr. Bordener to get some statistics. He scared me to death with his gruff manner. After a lot of stuttering and stammering on my part he got what I wanted and said that he didn’t have it right there but that he would send to me at school tomorrow before the debate all of which was very kind but he didn’t have to be so snappy about it. After dinner I read some more and then to bed.
