S.U.W.T.S. In p.m. marched with KHS band in a bicycle parade. Studied. I have a pretty bad cold tonight so I’m going to bed early. We got our first snow last night—not much, but still it’s snow. It has not all gone yet. We seem to be having winter start early this year. Predictions say it will be a hard one.

S.U.W.T.S. In p.m. loafed and played football. In evening studied like everything on five sentences of English to Latin. You know I should think with a subject as hard as that that I would be very put out, being forced to study so hard. In math, I get so enraged if a problem doesn’t come out right, and I get little satisfaction when it does. But Latin is different. I put all my efforts into it until I force some answer into the question, and then I get the nicest feeling of victory hard-won!
