At the adult class, I called the roll and filled in the missing info on each student: age, how much schooling, any physical conditions which interfere with learning. I explained to the class our plan to break it into two groups more or less according to ability, that I would take beginners and those with reading abilities to about the 3rd or 4th grade level and concentrate on language skills. Lois would take the more advanced readers and concentrate on the news. I emphasized that the final choice is up to the individual: each is free to join the class which he or she feels will do him the most good. I told them of Carolyn Layton’s request for material for the Georgetown exhibition, that we would try to finish the quilted map in time. Lois then continued with discussion in the news.
Vernetta Christian asked me whether she could borrow my typewriter, as hers is out of order. Mike Lund who repairs typewriters has been on PSU. His release had been obtained yesterday to work on the typewriters in the office in Rita‘s cottage but there is a more serious problem with Vernetta’s typewriter. I told her I had promised Teresa to get some news written up for our large type edition. She picked up the typewriter and arranged to bring it back to me this afternoon about 3.00.
Took my shower.
Vernetta did not come with the typewriter at 3.00. About 4.00 o’clock there was heavy rainfall. I went to dinner. I spent the evening sewing, sitting on Laura’s bed.
