April 1, 1931 - Dr. Lewis spoke in chapel this morning. He contrasted the conditions of 100 years ago with those of the present day. The program committee of the Lutheran Club had a committee meeting this afternoon. It started raining tonite. Mom called up and said Ray wouldn't come after me because he didn't have his car fixed. I went to a piano and voice recital this evening with Opal Wingett and Mildred Grier. I enjoyed it immensely.
April 2, 1931 - Rainy all day today. Got my estimate grades at the office. I also found out that my scholarship pays for my certificate. It makes me feel real good. Grammar test wasn't so bad but it could have been easier. I went home on the train tonite. There were lots of girls that went home on the train. Ray met me and carried my suitcase up the hill. Mom, Ray and I went to the movie and saw "Sweethearts On Parade." Got the Laurel pictures today. Talked to Florence over the phone tonite.
April 3, 1931 - Washed my hair this morning and went down to Anna Pete's this afternoon and had it cut and finger waved. It feels grand and glorious. Mamma and I went down to Schellenberg's tonite. I had a good talk with Florence. We all played Pinochle Rummy. Ed Schellenberg's were there and we had a real good time.
I am not surprised, but I didn't know Grandma went to college on a scholarship. Good for her. And I am really glad her hair felt grand and glorious!
The photo is from Sweethearts on Parade -- I couldn't find a photo of a poster.
I don't know that Grandma mentioned when she mailed her film, but the Laurel pictures were taken on March 22. I am impressed with the film processing and the mail service of the time. Not bad 1931, not bad.
I can remember getting a permanent at Anna Pete's beauty shop. I was pretty young. It was called a machine permanent and all the curlers were hooked up to some kind of a device that heated the curlers. Looked like something out of a horror movie. She is the same lady that scolded me when I was in high school for trying to cut my bangs. She said "Don't ever do that again!" And you know what I never did.
