February 22, 1931: A dance on George Washington’s birthday and a trip to Towsley

Journal #1, February 22, 1931

There’s a dance in town for Geo Washington’s birthday. I am going to Towsley with Alb[ert] Tomorrow. Cid was up the 21st & I wasn’t home. Fran & Cid came up for the dance, it was rotten, too many booze fighters. I came home.
