I’m all confused!

Refer to Feb. 8.

do I like Harvey or Hugh Sanders? or Mike or Dick Halen–gosh life is confusing or shoold I say love? Harveys nice–but then I don’t know him to well…& Hugh is nice too & feel comfortable in his company. He’s 6’ dark features hes 17 years of age & good looking–car too. Mike is a little young (15) other wise O.K. beeaauuttiffull eyes, Dick is different great womans man if he ever goes with a gal she sure will be treated royally–thats the kind of guy he is–he has twin brothers.

Dick was in Uncle Sid’s boy scout troop.

Dear Diary,

Refer to April 22.

I know I shouldn’t cause its useless but I guess every girl likes someone whome she hasn’t a chance with. In my case its “Harvey Rootland.” he’s in my second period & is only one grade ahead of me is ‘bout 5’ 10” or 11” Black hair (or real dark brown) eyes–I don’t know…yet…! Hes real good looking and “my” type (at least I think so).

Editorial Note:

Here is a photograph of the dashing Harvey Rootland from his 1953 Van Nuys Senior High yearbook:
