March 29, 1932 - Another nice day. Mailed my film today. We went up to Maas' and practiced tonite. Evie was tired and stayed home, so did Mr. and Mrs. Walker.
March 30, 1932 - Quite cold today. Was 23 degrees this morning. Mrs. Walker went quilting today. Ordered a geography workbook today. Went in to town tonite with the kids. I stayed in the car and tried to sleep while they had choir practice. Washed hose and rain coat and overshoes tonite after school.
March 31, 1932 - Warmer today. Mrs. Walker went quilting again today. Came home from school early this evening and washed my hair. Willard and Harry down this evening to practice first act.
I don't think Grandma was commenting on the ability of the choir when she says she tried to sleep during practice, but it does conjure up a comical image. Somewhat like Barney Fife and his cringe-worthy singing, to use the term loosely, with the fine folks of Mayberry.
I understand through the grapevine that there are a few more readers than I knew. This is good! I will attempt to both post more often and also make my commentary a little more wide-ranging than just our immediate family. Heavens knows there are lots of cousins out there.
I am still hoping Grandma gives the title to the play they are putting on. I recently purchased a play book, program, and ticket from the 1956 Winside Senior Class play. I have yet to read the play, but the drawing on the program is less than politically-correct by today's standards. I'll give a synopsis once I get it read. The price to see the play was $.25 for students and $0.50 for adults. Funny!
