A funeral and then back to school


Mon., September 4, 1933 - Bright sunshiny day.  Mother came in about 8:30.  We fixed a bouquet of our garden flowers, then out to Ola's about 10:30.  The funeral was at the house at 1:30.  The yard was full of cars and the house full of people.  So many pretty flowers were sent.  The church was full of people and more outside.  I took some pictures of the flowers at the cemetery.  Howard brought me to Behmers this evening.
Tues., September 5, 1933 - Mr. Behmer took us to school this morning, getting there at 8:00 with the Nurnbergs ahead of us.  Hot and windy today.  Bruce Stahl and Charlotte Faye Behmer are my beginners.  I started to make out an order for new books.  Mrs. Behmer came after us tonite.
Wed., September 6, 1933 - Warm today but not so windy.  Today Bruce said he was tired of working.  He and Charlotte Faye have quite a time remembering to keep quiet.  Mr. Behmer went to town this evening.  He bought a broom and floor oil for school.  The Nurnbergs were absent this p.m. to go to the circus at Norfolk.  Ronald was sick this p.m. 

I had to giggle that the brand-new student was tired of working so early in the school year, I am guessing he was new because he just turned old enough to start school, not that he was a seasoned pro from another district.

I had trouble keeping quiet pretty much up until 12th grade.
