I slept only until 5:30. There was much noise in the area. Went to breakfast. Stopped at the vegetable shed and obtained some more flour sack paper.

I worked at home in the loft on the paper grid. Tried to work out proportions. Dick Tropp came to borrow my typewriter. I enlisted his aid on the problem leaving until later understanding the mathematics. We laid out 3-inch squares to match the half inch squares on the small map. I taped the flour sack paper together.

Went to lunch

Lois and I met our classes. Lois taught the news to hers. I had the beginners read, then taught the news. I showed the class the copy of the Senior News and read part of it to the class.

In the afternoon, after my shower, I put away my belongings.  I rested a little before dinner, was very tired. Went to dinner. Listened to the news for a short time in the pavilion.

A socialism teachers’ meeting was called for 6.30. Only a few people came. The necessary business was to choose teachers to teach the extra classes following the regular socialism class.  I thought it only fair to volunteer.

The socialism class was in the pavilion. I saw the film “The Bombing of Dresden” which was about the last days of Hitler’s Reich. I monitored it. I taught one of the extra socialism classes with Pauline Simon. The response was very good. We were dismissed at 11.00.

Went home to bed.
