Dear Diary,
School was as usual. After school Butch took me to Burwood & I called Harriet, Jean & Shirley (Shirley wasn’t home.) Went to bed early.

Dear Diary,
Took the school bus home today for the first time it’s real nice. I slept on the floor on my spring & mattress as my furniture hasn’t come yet. The house looks wonderful.

Dear Diary,
Things are working out fine. I’m making friends & my studies are O.K. While Roggie and I were waiting for the bus Daddy came by & picked us up & took us to my house. Roggie & I had a wonderfully silly time this evening in bed.

First Day of High School
Dear Diary,
Got up 5:30 A.M. this morning & arrived at Roggie at 8:25. I felt very out of place in my 2nd period (Spanish). I’m the only B10. There’s nothing to say it was alright except I felt so darn out of place. I’m staying over Roggies for a few days.

Monday Sat, January 27 Weather marked as Clear.
Dear Diary,
I haven’t mentioned it but for the last few days I’ve had a bad cold & sore throat so today I spent half the day packing & half in staying in bed. I’m very anxious about Monday – starting a new school a new house – new friends.
Licked
Inspiration is but fleeting:
A flinching moment in the night.
Its carnal tongue preceding
The shiftless cardinal sin of SIGHT
So with these winds of discontent
I’ll wander aimlessly in search
Of rabble-rousing wonderment
To inflame these embers wracked
With soot.
Because in your absence, in this wake
A flame refuses to unfurl.
IT languishes in malady
Tepid in its stubborn coil
And in this flaccid freedom,
I’m untended in respite.
As in this tone-deaf melody,
An opus spurns its heights.
