Friday Night
Dear Chris,
I've first finished reading the 
story of "The Three Sillies" to Carolyn.
It is in my Child Lit book and 
is very entertaining for younger 
children. Both Carolyn and I enjoyed
it to the fullest. You should read it. 
I will get a box in the morning
and send your black suede shoes.
I really didn't need them and haven't
worn them since Ive been here. 
Kate and I were invited to a 
buffet supper out at Miss Mattie's tonight,
but I didn't have time to get a permit
and would have had to plead with
Miss Tern to let me go; so rather than 
fool with that, I just gave up 
the idea. Kate couldn't go, because
she had to work in the House
You should see the dancing 
they do up here this year. I've never
 seen anything to beat it. I can't
describe it to you. They walk 
 a few steps arm in arm, then they
face each other and dance


again; then dance walk again. I'm 
afraid that doesnt give you
a very vivid picture. I want 
to learn to do it, but I don't
have much hope. They also
started doing what they called
The "Big Apple," but were asked 
to quit doining it until further 
notice. A whole crowd gets in 
 a circle and starts trucking. Some
one in the center is also trucking
(By the way, Im trying to have that 
too)- trucking, I mean). Some one 
calls the set - similar to the way
they do in square dancing.
I'm teaching out at New Hope.
I go at 1:00 o'clock. The classes 
are from 1:00- 3:30. I will teach 
my first lesson a week from today
Im to teach clothing. For my first 
lesson, I'm going to have to give
an exhibit an apppropriate school clothes. 
I went to the show the other 
day and saw " Last Horizon" Ronald
Coleman, Margo, I don't know who 
else played. It was very dramatic, but 
also very good.


I had a date with a boy from 
State the other night, but I didn't
like him because his ears were dirty.
Kate had a date with Luke last
Saturday night. He gave her a 
small snap shot of himself
Mildred Carter is leaving school
in the morning. She's going to 
marry Jimmie Newman. They're going 
to live at Pace, Miss; where he has
a farm.
Miss Tomm asked me to remember
her to you. She also asked me if I 
were a sophomore. I'd rather be a 
freshman than a sophomore. They 
think they're so smart.
Chris, I hope you will get to 
liking teaching a little better,
because I know if you don't, it's
going to be hard for you to endure
it eight months. Please don't be so 
unhappy. 
I will get your shoes to you 
as soon as possible. 
Love,
Martha
