My diary - May 18-20, 1972

Missy at her Goodbye Party with Gisela, Chiu and Becky

May 18, 1972 Thurs.

Dear Diary:

I got a 97 on Science. The English test was the hardest one I’ve ever had. Uh! I think I’m sure I flunked it. Oh I hate Bisbee. I am excempt from the science semester. I think the Spanish too. Did a report for History. I got to get a good grade on that too!!! Read Charlie Brown books & Archie book. I talked to Missy. A friend of Dad from Mexico, who met me in Miami when I was young was here. I watched T.V. Wish me luck on English & History!!!

PLEASE!!!

BYE!!

Note: I wasn’t a big fan of Dr. Bisbee but many really loved him. I remember getting papers back from him with food stains. It grossed me out. I kept this in mind when grading my students' essays.

I still enjoy reading Charlie Brown and I discovered that my husband kept his collection.

Dear Diary:

I got out of the English Test & Spanish History & Science test!!! Thank you so much!!! Oh especially for English exam. I just made it. I got an 72 on the test. Todays the Party for Missy. We went skating Paul, Missy, Becky, David, Chiu, Danielle & Simon. Gisela came to the house. We had the whole skating ring to ourselves. We made the train etc. Had fun. We then came to our house had cake & ice cream. Played volley ball. Bengi played a short while. Mrs. Hoars mother died today. Missy stayed for supper.

BYE!!!

Note: We had a fun going away party for Missy at the skating rink. It was in a large open aired wooden building with no windows but there were rails to grab if needed. Afterwards, we went to our house; the picture shows some of us in the front yard.

On a side note, several years ago I met the daughter of the skating rink owners. She teaches yoga in a nearby city. She didn’t go to my school and was younger so I didn’t know her then. I love how it is a small world.

Dear Diary:

Mom went to the funeral. I stayed home. Talked to Missy. I read on the book “Brentwood” Ate lunch. I went with Mom to take Becky & David to school to play basketball. I read papers. I read on “Brentwood” all afternoon. Oh it was so good. I finally finished it. Mom, Dad & Becky went to Stewarts. I watched T.V. Watching horror movie called “Mesuahs” I think. Grace Livingstone wrote Brentwood. Talked to Missy.

BYE!!!!!

Note:

My parents never took us to funerals so I never went to one until I was an adult.  

I can’t figure out what the name was of the horror movie but I scare easily. I still don’t do well watching scary movies. Ask my family!
