(1964 March 10)
Last night our German class met and I passed around the magazines [from the German Tourist Bureau] but brot them home again. That new Munich theater must be a beauty, tho. I believe all the class took the La Salle St. address to send for it [the magazine]. Our teacher wanted to take up my offer to have the class meet here and have another party, but the class is very lukewarm. Would rather learn than eat. Nearly all dieting because of Lent or health.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
