Diary of Lois Elaine Jelin: Entry One Hundred Six

Entry One Hundred Six

Friday, May 16                      Weather marked as Clear.

Dear Diary,

Today in homeroom we got the Mirror & there was something about Sparky & Barbrak in it. The whole class was in an uproar over Harvey because he put it in. Then Mr. Moore called Harvey a flirty flirty, then someone said, “Harvey likes Lois” “Lois likes Harvey” & Mr. Moore said “Well you make a good looking couple. I don’t blame you Harvey—Lois is a very pretty girl etc. If I were only 40 years younger—-“ & at that moment Harvey’s & my eyes met & we both blushed a bit. I’m pretty sure he likes me. Jan put something in the “values loral” about Harvey & me (so she says & so I hope). Mommie says she saw some mateirl for my formal for the Sr. Prom. Bubie blacked out again today. Poor kid, she’s really got it rough. Ant Rose, Sylvia, Unc Joe & Abner came over. It is now 11:00 so I better go to bed.

Dear Diary,

Nothin’ much. Tommy doesn’t even try to sit with me on the bus anymore. I still think he likes me a little. I can see it in his eyes & the way he looks at me.

Dear Diary,

My foot feels better. Nothing much in school. Lynn & I started letters to Frank and Frenchy. They’re exactly alike. Went out with Bob. We went bowling—he won 2 games, I won 1. Then we played miniture golf. He won. Then we had frosties. Then we rode around. Went past V.N.H.S. then we parked. Kissed twice. Came home and he kissed me good-night. He told me that I kiss warm. So does he. I had a keen time. I hope he asks me out again. Got home 7 min to midnight.
