Thu, Oct 30, 1947: fraternizing

"After the [play] practice was over we again went to the Mecca Cafe for a coke apiece. After that it was the bowling alley.  Do you think that I will lose the respect of townspeople by fraternizing with my students?  The game was fun; and I finished fourth among the three girls and three boys there.  Irene Rush, Vivian of the play cast, walked away from the rest of us with a score of 250 compared with my puny 142--five pin bowling."
