Dearest Darling

   I am in study hall, and I just now have found time to write you.  I have been meaning to write you every day this week.      I did finish my Am. History term paper this morning.  38 typed pages.  Now I have only my 6 week exam to finish & my notebook & I’ll be through.     

We got our caps & gowns today.  Do I ever look silly in them!

At noon today we practiced marching down the aisle.  Joyce is first & I’m second, as she is valedictorian and I’m salutatorian.      Mon. I was never so sleepy in my life.  All day during classes I took brief naps.  That night I went to be at seven & got up Tues. at seven.  Then last night I went to the revival in Weirsdale.  We got home 10 min. after 11. And today I’m sleepy again.  I was O.K. until this afternoon, and now I have a headache.     

Tomorrow we are going to town.  I hope to get a dress & a bathing suite.  Darling, you are coming up Fri. night, aren’t you?  I don’t remember if you said you would, or would not.     

Last night they had a picture at church.  It was pretty good.  It was on alcoholic drinks.     

Sue has been here all week.  Mom & dad are taking her home Fri. nite.  They will probably leave before you come so I’ll stay at home and wait for you.     

Well, I have to work some more on history so I’ll close for now.  Oh, yes, Brother Lavender ate supper with us last nite.  Thrill, thrill!!  Bye now and remember I still love you lots & lots.  It won’t be too long now until I won’t have to write you letters, will it.   You know I haven’t heard from this whole month.  But I still love you.

All my love
Barbara

P.S.
  Still love me?
  Sue has been discouraging me all week on getting married!! She says she'd never get married again.  I wonder why??

  Do you know what the letters stand for on the envelop?  Try & Guess them.  I'm looking for a letter.
