Dear Mother and Daddy,

There are only two
more weeks of school and finals,
etc. are certainly closing in. I
had no idea that the end was
so close. I'm afraid that
I was doing better work at
the beginning of the quarter than
I am now. I got a Spanish
test back with a B on it, but
if I get a good grade on my
final I'm still safe. My
physical science is rather inconsistent
so I will probably average up to
a C in that course. I got an A
one time and a D another. Physics
is just over my head, I don't see
why they make us take such
subjects, it will never do me any
earthly good what so ever. Western
Civ. is not to awfully good
either. I'm afraid I didn't do
so well on the last test, but we
are having another one tomorrow and
I'm studying quite hard for it,
so maybe I will do all right
in that. You can't very well
tell about English, but I might
be able to get a B since most of
my comp. grades have been in the
B's. I have certainly noticed a
change in the school work, it
was much harder this quarter
