June 6, 1921.
Dear Home Folks:
I have been so busy having good
time that I have not had time to write
you before. Now I want to tell you
what a grand place Winthrop col
lege is. I think Winthrop college is
the most beautiful place I ever saw,
and it is also an interesting place.
Every girl would learn so much If
they could have the opportunity of
coming here.
I have learned many new things
since I've been up here. One that
I'm so proud of is how to make rugs,
which l shall tell you all about when
I come home. Miss Taylor is teach
ing us that. Miss Jenkins is giving
us recreation at the gymnasium and
We surely enjoy it. Miss Sellers gave
US very interesting talk on ''School
lunches. and what we should eat
Mr.. Slade will take all Of the poul-
try club girls out to the poultry farm
in trucks this afternoon. | will get
to go as | was sick the first day and
couldn't go with the sewing club.
Miss Jenkins will take all of us in
this wonderful swimming pool this
afternoon and then tonight we will
go to see Charlie Chaplin in The
Kid Miss Streeter will also give
musical programme. We are going
to have Daddy Long Legs too, and
all of these nice things are free and
cost US nothing.
You should have been with us the
evening of the third. We had a
grand time. They gave US a recep
ton at which we met DR.. Johnson
and lots of others in the receiving
line. Then we played games on the
lawn and they served us ice cream.
You all just ought to be with Miss
Warn. She is the sweetest one and
everybody enjoys being with her. I'm
sure without her we couldn't have
such course.
I have met so many nice girls and
I hope when I come back to Win
throp they will all be here. l know
every girl wants to come back.
Miss Dinwiddie is teaching us
"Health Education We have ten
daily rules of health and are making
picture book illustrating these
rules. It's lots of fun.
Now, I bet you want to know what
I did Sunday, don't you? Miss Ham
ilton took us to the Baptist chUrch
in the morning and we attended Sun
dav school and preaching, then that
afternoon we had Nesper services
on the library steps.
Miss Bailey is with US now. You
remember her from the short course
at Bamberg last year. I'll stop and
tell vou the rest when | come home
for this isn't near half. Much love.
