Read the prophecy, giftarian jingles, then Elsie Townes said she wanted to present a pin to a girl who in her 10 years of school had never been absent or tardy – So I had to walk up on the stage and get it. The pin is precious + I had more fun.

Mr. Sterling + Walter came in on yacht “Virginia” then Mac, Oppie, Lewis + I rode on the yacht to Morgan’s Point. Steered it thru channel. Got sopping wet when the waves splashed up.

(Ford Day) Home. talked, danced, cut up generally til nearly 1:30. A perfect day – and something else, too.

June 10 – Up 6 o’clock. All the girls refused to go in swimming so I went out + watched the boys till 7:00. Mr. Sterling showed me the place – cut oodles of flowers for me. fed me mulberries. Showed me how he was going to fix over the place + the rock gully. About 10 Lewis + I explored the place + fed each other mulberries (and got them on the outside as well as the inside) Walked about 2 blocks on the rocks – climbed the hills + returned by the road. Then Rose, Mac, Lewis + I went canoeing. The water was sort of rough + the sun hot. Was out about 45 minutes + got badly burned. The waves filled the boat up and down we sank.. Thanks to Doc I came up safe. Hung onto the canoe til we got to shallow water (it was about 7 feet deep.) Went out again but no mishap. Had dinner. Rode in Mr. Newton’s car to Sylvan, Seabrook, Kemah + back (Mac, Mr. Newton, Martha, Lewis + I.) Glorious time but awfully burned and it hurt, my arms, neck + face were blistered and my legs were like fire. Made more candy. Lewis + I sought the pier house and he went to sleep. Grandpa woke him up. While the rest were in swimming Doc + I sought the summer house. Spent one of the most wonderful hours of my life = chasing a lizard, etc. Dressed, had supper, was rushed to death by one of Mildred’s friends. Left about 7 – wonderful ride home – and the end of an absolutely perfect house party.
