Dear Mother and Daddy,
Things certainly have been happening this weekend and I keep trying to study, but I just can't put my mind or keep my mind on it, even though I keep trying, but it doesn't seem to do to much good. We were all so excited about going to the D.G. house that all we can think of how to get to live there next fall. I think that they want us to live there too, because the boys that hash there have been saying that they are just doing everything that they can to fix it so that we can come live there. It certainly makes me feel wonderful to be one of the five that the best sorority at Stanford are trying to get to live with them It's just the same really as if they wanted to pledge us. Nothing like this has ever happened before to me and I just can't get over it the best sorority at Stanford!
Friday night I went with Clark Graves to a big formal at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco that the California Maritime Academy gave. I got Sally Sutch a blind date and we all went together. It was loads of

fun and we all had a wonderful time. I wore the white formal that had just come the day before and my white gloves and some white flowers.
There was no school on Saturday so Bob came down to campus. I went out with him on Saturday night. He asked me to wear his fraternity pin and I nearly died at that for I certainly never expected anything like that to happen and I got very flustered, but naturally I could never take it; it would be much to near to being engaged - what a thought!
This morning I went to church with Bob and to other med. students and then out to dinner. I never thought I'd live to see the day when I would go out with three boys all by myself at the same time, especially three of the prized med. students.
Now I'm having trouble studying but I'm going to do some now - Weekends like this don't happen often and it certainly is a good thing.
I do hope Bobbie will be able to make it up to see me.
Love to all, Mary -
