Dear Diary,

It’s been a week now since you know what happened. People are still asking me all about it, and wanting to know if Bob is as cute off the screen as he is own. My adviser and history teacher seem to be having more fun about it than anyone else. I was sitting in advisory this morning, and she said to the class, “Muriel is sitting there thinking about Bob Hope again.” I said, “Not again — as usual.” She asked me what my boy friend thought about it. I replied, “I’ll let you know when I find one.” My history teacher was seeing if we had read the paper by asking us the latest news events. I held up my hand, and she said, “Anybody who can get on the first page ought to know what else is on it.”
