Mom

I hope you are having a
good time being editor of the
school paper. All the neighbors
back home are very proud of
you, but none of them is as
proud of you as me.

From what you tell me, I
gather that Bill Bardenwerper
is a nice boy (though not as
nice as his brother), and that
the red-haired boy Pat, is
pretty easy to get along with.
But that Business Manager
worries me (isn't "Mary" a
strange name for a boy?)

I'm sure that you can do a
better job than your friend
Steve did. And let me warn
you, I don't want to see any
dirty words or pictures in the
newspaper while you are the
editor. Because if I see any,
you're going to quit the
newspaper right away and go
to work on the yearbook.

Things here are fine. Take
care and try to eat well (I read
that the food in the Newcomb
Hall Grill isn't very good).
