Dear Diary,
Today Harriet & I were walking through the hall & I was telling Harry I was disappointed because Robert didn’t come to school when Robert came down the stairs with big “Hello” & grins form me!! I said hello & walked on, Harry looked at me & said, “Lois! Your face is real red.” (I wonder if I really like him or if its just a silly infatuation???)

Dear Diary,
Nothing much today. Hal called. Went ushering at Phil. Saw the annual Folk Dance Festival it was pretty good. Harry slept over.
Editorial Note:
On this day in 1951, Lois went to the Los Angeles International Folk Dance Festival which was begun by Irwin Parnes in 1947. Held annually in the old Philharmonic Auditorium, the Festival finally ended in 1989 with one last dance at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. To read more about Parnes and his passion, please click HERE for a 1989 Los Angeles Times article written by Cathy Curtis with more details.

The A9 party was a success (I guess, I didn’t notice Robert didn’t come to school). Angel was my partner (the rat). At 3:05 on the dot he left, when did we start the dancing? 3:05. Boy! I was burnt. I gitter buged with Richard Samboa, he’s very nice. The play was very good especially the love sceans. Oh god! why didn’t Andy ask me to dance??? Manuel???? went over Dorothy & Jimmies. Elaine & Henry were there we had a good time–all 4 of them are wonderful!!!!!
P.S. Everyone looked good!!!!! me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I danced with Joe, Manuel, Richard, Armando?
