May 21, 1931 - Thursday

We didn’t have a quiz after all but I didn’t study any more because I did it all last night. Went to see “Old English” with Doro. She didn’t like it much but I did.

George's Letter Home

Thursday, 21 (May, 1931)

Dear Folks,

Here it is almost time for you to go home; so I thought I would have a letter waiting for you.

Last night we had our last political meeting before the nominations today. This General Butler was in town last night too; so we got him to come over to our meeting and give us a talk. Boy he surely is an interesting character, and he gave us a slick talk. This evening I gave the nominating speech for our candidate for president. I think this thing is in the bag; because the party opposing us is seemingly very weak.

Well I didn’t get my job to the Lake after all. Price only took on those people that he had last year. If he had only taken on one man I would have been the one, because the boys had a preference list made out with me at the top. I wrote to Eddy Fields’ brother-in-law yesterday for a job in the mills which he manages in Ponderosa, Oregon. Something might come out of that, I certainly hope so.

Not much is doing this weekend except that we are having some rushees down for the two days.

Next weekend we are having our Frosh Picnic, and I am taking Gay Hamilton to the affair. Oh Boy – Oh Boy.

Don’t bother to send me some white shoe polish, as I have already bought some. I would like to have those pictures developed though. Everyone around here is clamoring for them.

That is about all I guess. I will send my laundry with this letter.

Love,

George
