Dear folks,

We had our Christmas Dances over the weekend. I
didn’t go Friday night which was formal because the
girl I had a date with was in the Senior play at the high
school. We went Saturday and had a lot of fun going
around to the other fraternities. We went to
Tom Bullett’s (> a pledge) home and had some
refreshments at intermission.
The house was really decorated. There were pine
branches all over the ceiling in the living room and
everywhere in general. We bought ten cent gifts,
one for a brother and one for the girl friend, which
were distributed by Santa Claus at intermission. More fun,
more people killed.
(over)
I got a letter the other day from the girl I had a couple
of dates with at Hood. While she was at home (Duquesne)
over Thanksgiving she found out that her best girl friend
goes to school with “my cousin” Mary Alice Wahl. It just
shows to go you what a small world this is.
About four fellows just came in to listen to a football
game and I was just going to grind away at Math. Tch, tch.
We have short periods next Saturday so kids can get an
earlier start home.
I’ll either be home Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I’m
very definite. Am I not?
I think I’ll bum. I’ll send my laundry home in a suit box
as you had suggested. I’ll be se’in you.

Love,
Gordon

Dear folks,

I was talking to Jim Peck a few minutes ago. He
brought the car back to school and so will be able to
take me back with him. He lives in Ford City. It won’t
take much bumming to get home from there. Abyssinia.

Love,
Gordon
