January 18, 1931 – Sunday


Slept until twelve! Gee, but I love Sunday mornings. After lunch studied until five. At six Harry came to tea. He left about eight. Maybe I have a date for next weekend. Studied from then until 11:30.

January 18, 1931

Dear Folks,

I am a Chi Psi now, and it is the greatest thrill of my life. No fooling, I just went through as bad a week as any individual could, but it surely was worth it. The nicest part about it though, was the way you sacrificed for me in order that I might become a Chi Psi. Don’t think that I don’t appreciate it either, and when I am out of school I am certainly going to do all I can for you. After it was all over, we had a banquet; and we (new brothers) each gave a little talk.

No sleep for a whole week just about did me up. We couldn’t talk to anybody on the campus, and when I would pass anybody without speaking they all understood. I had such dark circles under my eyes that everybody wondered what kind of a beating I was taking. If they only knew; but they never will.

I am sending lots of washing home tomorrow, because lots of things got dirty during the past week.

Be good and say hello to Jeff.

Love, George

Jane's Notes: If I haven't told you so before, Jeff was Dad's dog.
