1939 Adcox sisters: Mertie, Imo, Harriet and Helen
June 15, 1938 "May you be happy, may you be blessed, and live in a neat little cottage with the one you love Best. From your best goofy Pal, Mick"
May 27, 1937 "Dear Helen, Sweet are the flowers that bloom by the brook, but sweeter is the one that owns this book. Your classmate, Verla Schmidt"
November 24, 1937 "Dear Helen, You are 2 sweet 2 be 4 gotten. Shirley Hicks"
Dec. 1, 1937 "Dear Helen: I shall always remember you as a quite (quiet) little girl that didn't have much to say, but was smart in her school studies. She always made friends with anyone and was always kind & loving. Your pal forever, Margaret Van Buren"
Dec. 1, 1937 "Dear Helen, Remember the good times we had throughout T.C.H.S. Let's hope that our friendship shall always hold throughout our life. May success and happiness always be your motto. Your T.C.H.S. friend, June Vanburen" (note, I'm thinking these last two are related but they sure didn't sign their last names the same)
Dec. 1, 1937 "Dear Helen: Two little Negroes set out one night, to fly to Yale on the tail of a kite. The tail string broke, and down they fell. Now don't get excited and don't get pale, because they both went to Harvard instead of to Yale. Let's hope that you get to go to one of these colleges but not the way they did. Your T.C.H.S. friend, Lola Mae Woerner P.S. I hope that you remain as smart if not smarter than you are now."
Aug. 18, 1939 "Dear Helen,
If you
you will me
read see love
up that you
and I if
down love you
Your friend, Verla Paine (note, I enter these in the order they appear in the journal, no date adjustments are made)
