Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

June 21, 1912 - Friday


21 Went to H.S. to get seats and went without breakfast as I went before that meal thinking (Simple Rustic!) that the proceedings would take about ½ hr. We had to stay till 11:30. Loafed some more. I’m sick of it already. Saw Donald this evening but he was going to a dance. O, dearie me! Saw Milly and spent evening at her house. She had a W.-P. Cadet calling who talked through his nose.


Original Daffydills. By the author

If Helen Tolles, will a wedding ring?
If Robert Burns, will Harriet Cook?

 If Mohammedan ladies veil their faces,
What does Kenneth Vail?
If misers bury their gold, what will Peter Berry?

Dead swoon

Bartender, another tub of suds!
Shoot if you will, I die a hero!
