May 21, 1938 Saturday

P.P. Collected. Read all of “We are Not Alone” in a.m. In p.m. went to the Vermont School track meet at Alumni Field. Six Vermont schools competed. I ran in the quarter … ran well but far from placing. In the semi-final of the 220 I placed 3rd, qualifying for the final. In the final I came in fifth, just being nosed out of 4th, for a point and a letter, at the last yard. Fifth seems my natural and habitual place.
