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.

March 7, 1913 - Friday

7 - "Came into" a quarter which I promptly invested in materials for penuche. Mae came over while I made it, and I illustrated her diary, reading part of it.

Class! Got a scare about Chriss. Emma thought he needed fresh air so opened all 3 windows, he hanging in one of them. Muz luckily rescued him in time. Hope Emma doesn't take it into her head to bring up a cat to keep Chrissy company when he's lonely, or feed him dill pickle.

Again tried to lure Daniel to his destruction and again failed, though it may be because Mae was present. Although I try to make Dan kiss me, I know I'm not in love with him as the mere imagination of Donald's doing that deed is twice as thrilling as Dan's doing it. The thought of it gives me the most delightful tickly feeling up and down my spine. HOwever, the thought is as far as I'll ever get. But Dan gets on my nerves! It isn't so much that I want him to kiss me as that I want to be able to make him do it, if the whim takes me. He has evidently reformed since he became stuck on Mae.

The Gum Fiend (See Feb. 19.) has returned to her old tricks. I left a notice saying that if she "must fix my desk so that I couldn't open it, to please use a padlock as I would not have to scrape it off when I succeeded in forcing it." That biting sarcasm should wither her.
