October 12, 1930

Dear Mother,

I am just home from church; I went all along today because Fletch went fishing.

Three boys drove up from the Stanford Lodge this week and in a great big Cadillac Phantom. They certainly are nice fellows, and we have been showing them a nice time.

Last night I went to a Sorority pledge dance and had a great time. That made my third dance down here, and I haven’t spent a cent on a pleasure yet. If I can only work it that way all through college, I will be sitting pretty.

My studies are coming along all right as far as I can see. It is hard to tell just what you are doing, because most of your work consists of reading and listening to lectures. They don’t examine you on anything until mid-term; so I ought to know what I am doing by then. It surely is funny how one’s attitude changes. In high school I would have died rather than study on weekends, but here everyone does and you don’t think anything of it.

Our political party won and so we are sitting great this term. I ought to receive some kind of an appointment through my help in the election.

Every once in awhile we go over to the Gamma Phi house right after dinner and dance with the girls until seven-thirty, when we come home and study. It surely is lots of fun, and a great way to become acquainted.

We will be home about six or seven Friday.

Say hello toDad and put a leash on the dog when I bust in at the end of the week.

Love, George
