Tuesday, May 7, 1929


Ten seems to be my regular rising time. After I got up I wrote letters until lunch time. Biddle and Bart didn’t appear at lunch. Henry said it was because they were so ashamed about last night. After lunch I played around outside with Eleanor for awhile then came in and washed three pairs of underclothes. I had to do the washing but I didn’t want to come in because it was so glorious outside. We have had wonderful weather and a beautiful calm sea for over a week which is remarkable for the Pacific. After washing I took care of Eleanor again until her dinner time then I started to dress for dinner. The Captain gave a huge dinner as it was the last night that we’d be together. First he gave a little speech and then a toast (champagne) then we had a wonderful dinner. After dinner played poker a little while with Pop, Henry, Biddle & Bart (they came out of hiding late in the afternoon).
Jane’s Notes: In the scrapbook there is a letter dated May 7, 1929, From the University of Oregon accepting Mom to the University as a Special Probation because she graduated in the bottom quarter of her high school class. Signed Earl M Pallett, Registrar by Buna Faris. She probably did so poorly because of all the social activity that was far more important than studying in high school.
