Day by Day
Diary of Camelia Alten Demmon
Daughter of Mathias Alten
January 5, 1917-July 2, 1917
Friday, January 5
I am rather late as usual so I am starting this little tale of woe to-day, instead of last
Monday. I went to school to-day as I do once in a while and managed to get through
everything somehow or other. Mike [girlfriend] came up to school after me and we
walked home together and stopped to buy some cream puffs and cakes. There was a Beta
spread at Mrs. Wagner’s to-night and after that Roberta Cassidy, Frances VanLeeuwen,
Mary Alice Wren and I went to the Majestic Gardens. Norm Jones called for Ella and is
down stairs now. 11:30 PM.
Saturday, January 6
I am writing this Sunday morning about ten o’clock in bed. I washed my hair S[unday]
morning with egg and lemon. L[emon] makes it a dandy color but I’m thinking that if it
doesn’t stop coming out pretty soon, I won’t have any left. Frances VanLeeuwen, Mike,
Kathryn [Katheryn] Baert, Donna Baert, Harriet McKeon and I all went to see “Twin
Beds” yesterday afternoon. This was supposed to be a Gallery party but seeing as though
they didn’t open the Gallery we sat in 35-cent seats in the balcony. On my way to
Schroeders afterwards I met Russell Burr and he asked to come. He came but I suppose I
will get killed Monday if Mildred finds it out. I wish I knew whether it is wrong for me to
let him come out.
Sunday, January 7
This morning Mamma and Ella went to church. In the afternoon Lucille and I went to the
Majestic to see Mary Pickford in “The Pride of the Clan.” I cried all during the show, and
after I came out, we met John Stacey and I was still crying. We met Dick Miller and
Norman Jones across the street and they came over for lunch. Mary Alice and Ray called
up and wanted us to go coasting Wednesday night.
Monday, January 8
I didn’t have a single lesson this morning so I skipped my first hour class to study. I went
over to LaVanche’s [LaVanche Vinkemulder] after school and played on her Weja
[Ouija] board after we had stopped at the little bakery. Gee their stuff is good. The model
didn’t come, so I poised [posed] for the class and earned $1.50. Papa just finished an
awfully cute picture of me in my pink dress.
Tuesday, January 9
I got up at six this morning to study, but I must say I don’t like the idea very much. I
walked down to school with Mike and went to J.F.E. meeting after school. Harriet
McKeon and I walked home together and stopped at the bakery as usual. Mr. and Mrs.
Cusick went to St. Joseph to-day to see if they would like it. I got a new skirt that E[lla]
finished for me to-day in exchange for some Christmas waist material.
1
�Wednesday, January 10
I am writing this up the next Sunday instead of last Wednesday so I will test my memory.
It seems to me we were going to have a tobogganing party to-night, but the [weather]
wasn’t suitable so Dick Miller and Norm Jones just came up. We had a pretty good time,
but I imagine I would like Dick better if I understood him more. He asked me to go to
“Civilization” next Tuesday night and here’s hoping I don’t cry and make a hag out of
myself.
Thursday, January 11
School
After school I took Ella down to the station for she went to Detroit, and Papa told me we
were going to get our Ford Sat[urday], hooray!!! I got home about six and Papa told me I
would have to pose again, so I hurried and got dressed and went down there. I don’t
remember, but I don’t think I stayed up to study that night.
Friday, January 12
School
Friday night after school I went down town with Mike and we bought two awfully cute
dresses for her, seeing she is going away to school the first of February. I stayed over
there for supper and then came home and tried to read the whole of “Crawford” but a
fourth was as much as I could stay awake for that night.
Saturday, January 13
This morning Viola had an appointment with Dr. Beeman at nine o’clock to have her
eyes tested so I took her down. I wasn’t well anyway and after I had been there an hour, I
got sicker and sicker until they lay me on a couch and I got as white as a ghost. I don’t
remember ever feeling worse, but about 12:30 I felt better and went home. This
afternoon, 7 of us went to Powers [Theatre] to see “Fair and Warmer.” And on the way
home I stopped in at the library to get my book review.
Sunday, January 14
This morning I got up at 8 and read till 12, but I finished “Crawford.” From two until 4, I
took a lesson at driving the Ford. It certainly is the best looking little car you can
imagine. It is upholstered in gray and is awfully cute I am just crazy about it. Hugh came
up then and stayed until lunch. While I was gone, Dick and Russell Burr called up. Tonight I wrote my book review, got my German, physics and now I guess I’ll read the
funny paper. Mamma, Papa & Mr. and Mrs. Cusick have gone to the Empress.
Monday, January 15
I haven’t written in this in over a week so I don’t remember much that happened. I went
to school as usual and Lucille and I stopped and got a pie on the way home, and came
over here to eat it. Mrs. Serarach was here from Minneapolis and told us all about “Billy
Boy” [the adopted son of Mrs. Alten’s younger brother Frank Schwind]. She says he is
the cutest kid one can imagine. After supper I went down to the class to pose.
2
�Tuesday, January 16
School
After school I went down to the studio and Papa and I had another lesson in driving.
Tuesday night I went to see “Civilization” with Dick Miller.
Wednesday, January 17
School
After school I went to K.E.E. meeting [Central High club], Lucille and I went coasting
that night.
Thursday, January 18
Thursday morning I took my German exam and I certainly never saw a harder exam in
my life. Thursday afternoon Lucille and I thought we would start the machine, but didn’t
know where to pour the hot water and somehow or another we froze the thing all up.
Friday, January 19
Friday morning John Stacey came over at 9:30 and we tried our level best to start the
machine but couldn’t so called Mr. Eckberg and he came up and started it. Then John and
I went around town and did some errands. About 12:30 we went to Ada and ate cookies
outside the hotel (Coach Stop Hotel) for our dinner. When we came back, we got Lucille
and drove to Plainfield. The rest of the day was spent on looking for skates for me but we
couldn’t find any.
Saturday, January 20
Saturday Mr. Eckberg came up and started the machine and I took mamma out riding.
She had been real sick for a couple of days. Saturday night I studied for my physics
exam.
Sunday, January 21
Sunday morning mamma was sick in bed and Papa was just about as bad. I studied all
morning and in the afternoon, Hugh Utley, Lucille Cusick, and John Stacey came over.
Monday, January 22
Monday morning I took my English exam and then Frances Carr and I went to the
Monroe. The picture lasted so long that we couldn’t get any lunch and had to run all the
way up the hill. At 1, I took my physics exam. Frances VanLeeuwen, Kathryn Baert,
H[elen] McKeon and I went to the Strand and Jandorf’s [bakery]. Aunt Louise was here.
Russell called me up that night.
Tuesday, January 23
Tuesday morning Mamma was sick and I went down town. Mr. Nelson took the machine
out for me and in the afternoon I went down with Lucille, Kathryn, and Harriet and then
Lucille and I served at the German Coffee. When we got out we couldn’t get started so a
man pushed us a little way and then we coasted down the hill until the engine started.
Thursday night I didn’t do much of anything. Ella wrote and said she would be back in a
3
�couple days. Tuesday night M. Utley, L. Cusick and I took Nute [the car] and went
coasting over at John Ball.
Wednesday, January 24
This morning I was down at school making up art until 1:30. This afternoon I went to the
Empress with Hugh.
Thursday, January 25
This morning mamma and I went down town. I got some blue taffeta for a Russian
blouse. And some shoe hockies. This afternoon, Frances Carr went skating over at
Wilcox [Park]. And then came home and had some hot chocolate and cake. Thursday
night Russell Burr came over and we had a dandy time They brought the machine home
from the garage at about 10:30, and then Russell and I went down to Sweet’s
[Sweetland’s?].
Friday, January 26
This morning Lucille, Frances and I went down to Dean and Hicks[?] and poised [posed]
for some furniture pictures. On my way home just as I left the girls, I met Russell and he
took me over to the car. After dinner I went down to school for a while and Hugh was
helping decorate for the Sock and Buskin party [Central High club], but I wasn’t invited.
Then I went down to Papa’s studio for a while. To-night I went skating with H[elen]
Wren, and met Joe Osgood, I skated with him all the time and then he took me home.
Pretty nice.
Saturday, January 27
Saturday morning I cleaned up the house. We got a letter from Ella saying she was in
Sturgis. Saturday afternoon we bought some skates for Viola, and then met Frances Carr,
L[ucille] Cusick, Kathryn Baert, Harriet McKeon and we all went to the Orpheum. “The
Toughest Show in Town.” Saturday night I went skating.
Sunday, January 28
Sunday morning I washed my hair. In the afternoon we took Nute [the car] and went to
the Strand. We met John Stacey in front of the Empress, and he took [us] up. We saw
Ella Hall in “The Souls Inspiration.” Dick call[ed] up when I was gone but that didn’t do
me much good. Hugh took Louise Fay to the Sock and Buskin party. Papa and I have
been trying to get the machine in for an hour and at present he has gone for some gas.
Monday, January 29
This is the first day of the new term I have Mr. [Burton E.] Smith for S[cience]. Miss
Christ for G[eography], Mrs. [Cornelia] Hulst for E[nglish], Miss [Dorothy] Crosby for
interior decoration. 2,3,4, 6. Ray Gregory was elected Pres[ident]. Helen Bloomer (Betty
Ford’s mother) Vice Pres[ident], Betty Rood Sec[retary], Laurance Frost Treasurer.
Hugh has been acting awfully funny so I sent his pin back to him to-day. Dick called up
three times yesterday, but as usual I wasn’t at home. He called up again to-night and
asked me to go on a sleigh ride Sat., and to the Maj[estic]. Wed.
4
�Tuesday, January 30
School
After school Mildred Matheson (Russell’s girl) came over. We intended to get the
machine and have our fortunes told but mamma didn’t like the idea so we went to the
Strand. After supper we had Beta meeting at Eleanor Stinchcomb’s and I took Nute [the
car]. Somehow I didn’t have any trouble with him and it certainly was encouraging.
Wednesday, January 31
School
I was excused at 3:00 and a bunch of us went to see John Drew in “Pendennis” at Powers.
Lucille came home with me then to say goodbye because she was going to school the
next day and I wouldn’t have another chance to see her. After dinner I went to see “The
Crisis” at the Maj. with Dick Miller.
Memoranda [Humor later published in yearbook]
H. Wren: I’m learning so much in cooking.
L. Vinkemulder: What did you learn?
H. Wren: I don’t know I put it on a piece of paper.
L.V.: I guess that’s why you can wear such small hats.
There is something I don’t like about you, I guess it’s your face.
Stop your swearing, not that I care a damn, but it sounds like hell to strangers.
Thursday, February 1
Lucille went this morning at 7 o’clock, but I didn’t see her off. Mamma has been sick all
day, and couldn’t even get out of bed. I came right home from school and tried to start the
machine, but couldn’t so I called the man up. I never had a worse time in my life. I had to
have someone come and crank it twice and then I could hardly get it home. I get it half
way up the drive and it stopped. But I was so blamed mad at the darn thing that I’m going
to have to leave it out all night.
Friday, February 2
School
After school the “Sock and Buskin” club gave a little play, and I stayed for it. We got a
letter from Ella to-day saying that she was coming home either to-night or tomorrow and
bring Esther with her. [Esther and Elsie were relatives on Mrs. Alten’s side of the family.
They lived with their parents in Sturgis]
I intended going skating to-night, but it’s so dreadfully cold that I changed my mind. I got
a card from Lucille from Jackson to-day that she had written on the train. Dick called up
and said the sleigh ride was all off, but asked me to go to the Empress.
5
�Saturday, February 3
This is Frances Carr’s birthday and she gave a 1 o’clock luncheon. We had an awfully
good time and afterwards I went down to the library to get a monologue. I met the Peet
girls and they didn’t recognize me at first. Saturday night Esther came home with Ella.
The girls went to the Empress together and I went with Dick. I like him allright, but I
wish he were more exciting. Maybe it’s just me.
Sunday, February 4
Sunday morning Ella, Esther and I went to the Methodist Church. It certainly is pretty,
but the old man made me feel like a sinner. Sunday afternoon I stayed home all alone
with Grosmama [German for grandmother] & studied. I don’t know yet just what the
trouble was. Later on I made some dandy fudge with walnuts in it. Sunday night Dick
came over and we had a lot of fun.
Monday, February 5
Monday morning I got down as far as VanWestenverg’s when I found I had forgotten my
theme and came way back after it. After school I came home and read and studied, and
Norm and Ella went to the Empress in the afternoon and then had a little lunch over here.
Norm has been awfully sick and he certainly is thin. I never saw a person change so
much, but still he is the same old Norm. I went skating with Russell Monday night.

School
I got my first letter from Lucille to-day and find that she can only write on Sundays and
Thursdays. She said she cried quite a bit at first, but was beginning to like it better now.
Tuesday night Harriet McKeon went skating up at Cherry and Eastern[?] and we
certainly had a dandy time. We met Norm Schuldt, and Dave Mendols[?] and skated with
them all the time.
Wednesday, February 7
School
After school we had a K.E.E. meeting and Donna Baert was taken in. I studied after
supper.
Thursday, February 8
School
After school we had J.F.E. meeting over here and planned a stag party for a week from
Saturday. All that bothers me is where I am going to get some clothes. After supper I
went skating with Harriet and Ella and wrote my theme. Howard Sneide[?] is working
over at the drug store now and it was his night off so he showed us a pretty good time.

�Instead of coming home after school and trying on my blouse I went to the Maj. with
Francis VanLeeuwen, and saw “Wallace Reid.” Wonderful man! When I came home I
found that my blouse had been started, but far from finished. H. McKeon and I went
skating to-night and picked up Dave, Norm, Jack Pluene. I can’t say that I think much of
Jack. Dick called up before I left and asked me to go to the Empress Sat. night, and to
come up Sunday night.
Saturday, February 10
This morning I helped around the house part of the time and Ella went to see some people
about pictures. About 10:30, I started to sew on my blouse and sewed steady until supper
time, but I finished my blouse. Saturday night I went to the Empress with Dick and sat
right in back of Leon Petsch.
There was a little Jew named George Washington Cohen who had never told a lie and
wanted to be President of the U.S. One day he was forced to tell one good then he said,
“Now I am such a dam liar that I can never be President of the U.S. but then, Secretary of
State isn’t such a bad job either.
Sunday, February 11
This morning I was surely going to church, but my hair needed washing so badly and I
had so much studying to do that I didn’t go, but Mamma and Ella went. Sunday
afternoon, I reread a book that I had to review in school the next day, and did the rest of
my studying. Ella went to Githa’s (the girl that is going out west with us) and had my
mandolin strung. Now if I could play it. Sunday night, Norm and Dick came up, and Dick
froze his ear too, by the way, it was 23 below zero Sunday night.
Monday, February 12
I wore my new blouse to school this morning and told my story in English. I didn’t even
get scared, that’s something wonderful for me. This afternoon Harriet, Katheryn, Frances
VanLeeuwen, and myself went to the Strand. Harriet and I were going [to the Strand
crossed out] skating to-night but it is so dreadfully cold that I backed out. I got a letter
from Lucille to-day and also answered it.
Tuesday, February 13
School
I stayed at school until about four o’clock to-night fooling with H. and K. I got a letter
from Lucille and it looks as though she was beginning to like it. After supper H., Helen
W., and I went skating at the Lake [Reeds]. It was just great and they even had music.
Wednesday, February 14
This is Valentine’s day and I only got one valentine from Viola. Hugh gave me my ring
but not my pin so I asked for it and he said he would bring it to-morrow. I came home
from school with Helen and LaVanche and we bought an angel food cake and divided it
into three pieces and ate it on the way home. A lady talked to us to-day about being
patriotic but it appears to me that if there was less patriotism, we wouldn’t have war.

�I went skating with H. McKeon again to-night and Paul Tansley[?] asked to take me
home but H. and I always come home together.
Thursday, February 15
School
Ella met me after school and we went to see Githa’s baby. It certainly is a wonderful
baby! We got home awfully late so we just took a bite and ran all the way down to the car
because we wanted to see the soldier boys come in. We just missed the Lyon car so we
ran all the way over to the change and missed that but just caught the Wealthy. We saw
Avery in the lines and shook hand with him when they were marching past. Afterwards,
we went to the Majestic with the Degans.
Friday, February 16
School
There was a “Good Cheer Vaudeville” after school that certainly was good. After that
Frances VanLeeuwen, Ella, and I went down town. Ella had some shopping to do so Fran
and I came home to-gether. Avery came up to see Ella to-night.
Harriet and I had intended to go skating to-night, but it’s so warm that everything (ice)
has melted.
Saturday, February 17
Everything went along as usual as it usually does on Saturday. They brought the Ford
back and supposing all was well and we were going to take it out this afternoon. We
cranked and cranked and cranked some more and then the d--- thing wouldn’t go. Papa
certainly did some cussing that I never heard before. This afternoon Frances Carr and I
went to the Maj. and saw the “Wax Model.” To-night I cranked at that thing again, but in
vain. It’s giving me muscle and it is increasing my vocabulary. There was a Kitchen
Shower for Gladys Zink to-night at Eleanor Stinchcomb’s and we just had a picnic.
Turned somersaults and slid down the banister and everything!
Sunday, February 18
I am several days behind again so it will be rather hard for me to remember just what
happened. Sunday morning we had the man come to start the machine and in the
meantime he blew off the muffler so that it made so much noise everyone stared at us. I
took the folks to church and then was afraid that it wouldn’t start if I left it outside so I
rode around until they came out.
About four o’clock Avery Gilleo and Duke Ferguson came over to have lunch and spend
the evening with us. We drove over to Bernice’s about five o’clock and brought them
home with us. We danced and had a lot of fun.
Monday, February 19
I can’t remember much as to what just did happen to-day. After school Dorothy Cowin
and I went downtown and I bought some rubbers ($1.00) It just poured when we started,
8
�but before long it hailed and then snowed. We stopped in at Jandorf’s and got some pie a
la mode. Gee! I love it. I guess we got some candy too and then walked all the way home.
I think Hugh gave my pin to me to-day.
Tuesday, February 20
School
LaVanche and I came home from school today and on the way a perfectly strange fellow
in a big machine asked us to go out Friday, but we didn’t go. LaVanche wouldn’t. Ella
and I entertained for Gladys Zink to-night and got her an electric toaster. We just had a
peach of a time. We danced, roasted marshmellows [marshmallows], ate, and Helen
Wren, Katheryn Baert, and Vera Forshund even smoked. We gave them some real strong
cigarettes that these fellows brought from Mexico It didn’t even make them sick.
Wednesday, February 21
School
There was a K.E.E. meeting tonight and I had a peachy time. We danced afterwards and I
am some leader. It’s lots of fun to dance with girls if you just have sense enough to
realize it and put those fool boys out of your head. They’re not half good enough for girls
anyway and then we lose our heads over them. The machine was brought back today and
it starts (can you imagine that).
Thursday, February 22
This is Washington’s birthday and we celebrated by going to see Annette Kellerman in
the “Daughter of the Gods.” Eight of us went together and sat in the 11th row of the
balcony. She certainly has a wonderful body and isn’t bashful about showing it. Mama
says I take after her in the latter. I hadn’t written to Lucille for a long time so I wrote her
a nice long letter. I took the machine out this morning and it was pretty good.
Friday, February 23
School
After school I went over to Frances Carr’s and told her everything that I didn’t want to. I
took the car from there down town and bought some silk net for my party dress and then
went home. Avery and Duke came up Friday night to bring their soldier suits for the
party. We tried them on which they [?] have and I’m just wild about them. They look
awfully cute and I hope we can get some like them for out west.
Saturday, February 24
We called for Helen W. and Hazel Clark in Nute [the car] and took them to the wedding
this afternoon. Gladys looked awfully sweet but deliver me! When they were getting into
the taxi they slipped and the groom sprained his ankle and was unconscious and Gladys
fainted. Tonight we had a stag party and I never laughed more. Some of the girls were
dressed so funny that I thought I would split and others were real good looking boys. I
had Duke Ferguson’s soldier suit on and I never saw anything I liked better, it looks
awfully cute. We had soft drinks, weenies, sandwitches (sandwiches), salad, pickles,
olives, pie a la mode and loads of everything.

�Sunday, February 25
I hope everyone doesn’t feel as badly as I do after a stag party. I never felt worse. I’m
sick-- such a cold. I can’t even think, say nothing about breathing, talking, smelling etc.
It’s 1 o’clock and we just left the supper table but I guess I’ll go to bed.
Monday, February 26
I never realized how time flew until I started this diary. It has been almost a week since I
wrote in this last and it seems only yesterday. I did not go to school today. I guess the
effects of the stag party and wedding were too much. I had the worst cold I ever had, ever
hope I have. Right after dinner I went down town [following text crossed out] [and had
the best] & bought some films and then Ella and I took some pictures of each other in our
soldier suits.
Tuesday, February 27
Nothing important.
Wednesday, February 28
School
I came home right after and studied for an English test that we were going to have
Thursday. After supper Duke and Ave[ry] came over and we had a lot of fun as usual.
Ave brought some new dance records up so that we could have a little change.
Thursday, February 29
School
Fran VanLeeuwen and I were going down town to-night but Miss James had Fran’s coat
so I sneaked in the office and got it. Then we went to the Isis and saw Carlyle Blackwell
some Man! Afterwards we went to Jandorf’s and got some pie a la mode. I wonder if I
will ever get sick of it.
Memoranda
This is Friday and I am caught up at last. We had our first class meeting to-night and it
certainly didn’t lack any pep. Govett’s orchestra even played for us. Some orchestra. I
came home with Harriet and was surprised to see that Ella had already made my
sandwitches. Harriet met me at Carlton and we went to Anna Broene’s for a K.E.E.
spread. We initiated some girls, danced, and had lots of fun.
Saturday, March 1
Saturday started out fine, but Oh how it ended. I got sick about 10 o’clock and I was the
sickest I ever came to be. I didn’t get up until about 5:00 and was feeling pretty good.
That is better. Russell called up and wanted to come up, but I didn’t feel quite that well.
Norm came up and I went to bed at 8 o’clock.
10
�Sunday, March 2
I really intended to go to church Sunday morning but when I was all ready I thought I
would finish up by putting at little toilet water on my hair and the cork flew out and part
nigh drowned me. Avery, Dona, Don Mussen[?], and Duke came over for lunch. We had
loads of fun dancing etc. and I think something pretty good has started.
Monday, March 3
School
I don’t remember if anything in particular happened during the afternoon. Monday night
there was a little informal dance at the All Soul’s Church and Ave, Ella, I went in Newt
[the car]. I had lots of fun as usual and afterwards we went to Sweets.
Tuesday, March 4
I received 2 letters from Mike [written above the date]
School
I was informed of the fact, Monday night that I was to give a little speech in K.E.E. on an
Alten exhibition at the Pantland [Pantlind] so I went down Tuesday afternoon and looked
at the Pictures. It is a mighty good bunch of pictures and I enjoyed it ever so much.
Tuesday night Russell came up and I made him that long promised candy. By the way
this is Duke’s 20th birthday.
Wednesday, March 5
School
We [had a] K.E.E. meeting today and I gave my little talk. As it happened I didn’t get a
bit fussed and was quite pleased with myself. Conceited! We served Marqueritas and
cocoa. Umm! Wednesday night Ave, Duke, Ella and I went to the Empress in Newt [the
car].
Thursday, March 6
This is Thursday and I am caught up again. I got our marks to-day E.G.G.G. Isn’t that
great. After school LaVanche, Dorothy and I bumed [bummed] around downtown and
got some pie a la mode. I wonder if I’ll ever get sick of it.
Friday, March 7
It has been just exactly one week since I have written anything in this so I guess it will be
rather brief for a few days. It seems as though we planned a hike to Sparta Saturday but
seeing this weather was so bad we didn’t go. Duke called up Friday night and I probably
would have gone Sat. if I hadn’t thought I was going on this hike.
Saturday, March 8
I helped around the house Sat morning until about 10:30 and then went down town with
Ella. I picked out a suit I liked in the Royal and bought a black hat. If I remember rightly
we went down quite a few times and spent the day bumming. I didn’t do much of
anything Sat night.
11
�Sunday, March 9
Sunday morning was an awfully busy time but I can’t recollect just what we did Sunday
afternoon Duke and Ave came over and we went out in this barn and shot. The boys
stayed for lunch and then we went to the Maj. and saw Marguerite Clarke. I lost my
muffler in the meantime, but I don’t know how it happened unless it was kicked out of
Newt [the car].
Monday, March 10
I had 2 subjects and a theme to write before school so I got there rather early. I can’t
remember just what did happen the rest of the day. It was so long ago and my memory is
terribly poor.
Tuesday, March 11
We had a J.F.E. meeting after school at Ester Attwood’s. We discussed having a house
party spring vacation, but somehow or other it fell through. I received a nice long letter
from Lucille but I’ll bet she’s fibbing when she says she likes it. Duke called up about
7:15. Went to see Allyn Stinchcomb.
Wednesday, March 12
Dorothy Cowin came home with me after school and we put the chains on Newt [the car]
and went down to Allyn’s. She is going to the Sanatorium next Monday, but I must say
she has just as much pep as ever. We drove out to the Boat club, etc. I had just loads of
studying to do until Duke called up and wanted to come over. Ave came up too and we
spent most of the time playing poker.
Thursday, March 13
I just became aware of the fact that my days and dates don’t jibe, but it’ll be all the same
a year from now. Went down town after school & bought a sealing wax set for Mike.
When I got home at five, I found out that Mama expected me right home and had wanted
me to take her away. Went to Fannie’s to take my material over. Went to South High to
see an entertainment. Viola danced there.
[March 14 – 16 left blank to correct dates]
Saturday, March 17
Mrs. Hoffman [who lived on the corner of Fulton and Baynton] died this morning
[written above the date]
Made a stab at cleaning up the house. Fran VanLeeuwen, Fran Carr, and Dorothy all
called me up and asked me to go to the Maj. so we had a regular party. We saw Mary
Miles Minter in the “Innocence of Lizette.” We giggled, laughed, and made perfect fools
of ourselves all afternoon but we certainly had a dandy time. You know you can have lots
of fun doing nothing if you have the company. Monday is Lucille’s birthday so I made
and sent her a box of candy with a sealing wax set.
12
�Sunday, March 18
This morning Ella, Newt [the car], and I went to the All Soul’s Church. After dinner I
took Viola to Kathleen’s, Mamma & Papa to Kindels, and Grosmama over on the west
side. Dorothy went along and then I stopped in there a few minutes on the way home.
When I got home Duke & Ave were here and Duke brought me a dandy bag of candy.
We rode out to the Boat Club but it was all closed up so we took some pictures and came
back. Had lunch and went to the Maj.
Monday, March 19
Mike’s birthday
School
After school the senior Sorosis [Central High club] gave a party for all the senior girls.
Had a good time & came home with LaVanche and Harriet. After supper Ella, Viola, and
I went over to F & M’s to lengthen my suit. The machine was only running on 2
cylinders but it went like hele [hell].
Tuesday, March 20
School
I went downtown with the bunch, if I remember rightly. After supper Avery came over
and then he and Ella took me over on the West side so that I could have my suit fitted.
It’s dark brown, but dreadfully good looking. On the way back we stopped for Duke at
the armory and then came up here. I called for the folks at Kutsche’s and went to bed at
about 12.
Wednesday, March 21
This is the first day of spring and it certainly is wonderful. Ella was going to Alma this
noon, but the pictures hadn’t gone she waited until Thursday morning. There was K.E. E.
meeting after school and of course I had a good time. I believe I could have a good time
doing anything. Harriet and I watched the boys practice for “Hip-Hip-Hooray” and then
went home together. I went to bed at 7:45.
Thursday, March 22
Ella took the six fifty train to Alma this morning and Ave went down to the station. Talk
about your good kids. I took Newt [the car] and went down to get the lining for my suit
this afternoon. I bought some awfully good looking gold skinners satin and then took it
over. Duke, Donna, Dan and I went to the Empress to-night and sat in the box. We had
Newt [the car] and stopped in at Sweet’s. I’m afraid I bust [bussed] Duke.
Friday, March 23
School
There was a J.F.E. spread at Roberta Cassidy’s to-night and we took Virginia Campbell
and Katherine Spencer in. They all went to the Maj. afterward but [I] was going to a
dance at the Armory so I didn’t go. Helen called up and said that there was such a jam
that they couldn’t all get in so we went to the movies instead. Don, Donna, Duke and I.
Donna and Don went home afterwards and Duke and I went up to the Chop Suey. Some
life!
13
�Saturday, March 24
Dorothy, Mama, and I went down town in the afternoon and I got 2 awfully cute waists
(blouses). Saturday night Ave came up and Duke and I went to see “Hip-Hip-Hooray”
with Newt [the car]. I[t] certainly was good.
Sunday, March 25
Ella and I really were going to church this morning, but the machine got stuck out in back
and by the time we got it out it was too late. That’s a fact. Ave and Duke came up in the
afternoon and we went out to the club. It hadn’t been opened up yet so we came back
home over lunch and then I took Ave and Ella to the Maj. and then we went to Donna’s.
Monday, March 26
I went down town this morning and met Norm Chamberlain at the Studio. Gee! I like
him. Then I made an appointment with the dentist and Ella and I took Lessa and the baby
out for a little ride. Dorothy and I had our pictures taken in the afternoon and then I came
home and took Grosmama, Mama, and Ella down town.
Tuesday, March 27
I took Mama down town this morning and she bought a hat. This afternoon Dorothy and I
went down together and got some stuff for a black net hat. We left the machine on
downtown and when we came back there was a little slip pasted on the windshield,
stating that I should appear at the police station at 9 in the morning. What am I coming to
next!? I stayed over at Dorothy’s for supper and we sewed on our hats.
Wednesday, March 28
Wednesday morning I went down to the police station the first thing. Seeing I had never
been pinched before he said he would let me off this time but I would have to pay double
($20) next time. This is the first appearance I have ever made in the police court.
Finish[ed] my hat and sewed in the afternoon, cute hat. Went to Beta meeting and Duke
called for me.
Thursday, March 29
This afternoon I went to the Maj. with Dorothy and I had an appointment with the Dentist
at 1 o’clock afterward we all went to a peace meeting at the Theater. Dr. Freeman was
chairman of the meeting and he is a wonderful broadminded man. They wouldn’t let
them have it at the Armory and Mrs. Bellman was even threatened for giving them the
Theatre. Theater for peace. I am for peace heart & soul but it looks like war now.
Friday, March 30
Fran VanLeeuwen called for me to go to Fran Carr’s this morning. They have a dandy
new Hudson Super Six. We stayed at Carr’s for lunch and went to the Maj. in the
afternoon. Ave, Ella, Duke and I went to the Empress that night. I got my suit today.
14
�Saturday, March 31
Sat morning I cleaned up the house and washed a couple of waists. In the afternoon I took
Grosmama to Powers Theater, came home and took Mama and then Ella and I went out
to the boat club but it started to rain as soon as we got out there so we came right back.
We had a terrible rain and hail storm on the way home.
Sunday, April 1 Memoranda [skipped date and corrected it on the 12th]
Sunday morning Mama, Ella and I went in the All Souls Church. As soon as Mr.
Freeman finished his sermon he hurried away to catch a train for Washington to tell them
that a great many of us were for peace. Friday afternoon I went to see Mr. Beneker’s
[Gerrit Beneker] pictures and to a Socialist meeting at Power’s and if I ever get to vote I
hope I know enough to vote Socialist. Mr. Debs spoke. Sunday night Duke came over.
Monday, April 2 [written on page for April 1]
School
Almost everyone is certain that war is going to be declared when congress meets
tomorrow and Hugh is glad as anything. Duke wants war too and somehow there seems
to be something brutish or wrong about people like that and I won’t have anything to do
with them no matter how nice they are otherwise. Ella and I went to a Samaritan meeting
Monday night and Avery called for us.
Tuesday, April 3 [written on page for April 2]
Hugh came up and said goodbye to everybody this morning and thought sure that they
were going to Chicago by train. I went down to the dentist after school and had a nerve
taken out. Duke came up after supper and we were going to the armory but it got too late
so we went to the Strand instead.
Wednesday, April 4 [written on page for April 3]
Hugh was back at school today and can’t go to until war is declared. Too bad! We had
K.E.E. meeting to-night and then I went down town to meet mama and had to wait 2
hours. Ella and Ave went to the Empress to-night. I guess Duke is broke, as usual.
Thursday, April 5 [written on page for April 4]
I went to the dentist after school and then met the girls. Went to a church supper and then
saw Jack Pickford in “The Dummy” at the Idlehour with Donna.
Friday, April 6 [written on page for April 5]
Came home after school and made Mama’s hat. Friday night we all went to a dance at the
All Soul’s Church and had lots of fun. I went with Duke but there were a lot of extra
fellows so they had “robber” dances. Great.
Friday’s news. [written on page for April 6]
This is good friday and war with Germany was also declared today.
Saturday, April 7 [written on page for April 6]

�Went down to the K.E.E. pictures taken this morning. Stayed down for lunch with
Dorothy and then and bought some blue pajama cloth. Cut some one piece pajamas out at
Dorothy’s and started them. Cutest things I ever saw.
Sunday, April 8 [written on page for April 7]
Sunday morning Easter, by the way, Papa, Ella & I went to church. Mr. Freeman talked
on war and peace and certainly had a fine sermon. I think I could get an education
hearing him talk. Duke sent me some beautiful sweet peas and roses. Didn’t do much of
anything Sunday afternoon and Sunday night Duke came up without even calling up.
Monday, April 9 [written on page for April 8]

Got excused at 12:30 and took Mama to a funeral. Got a flat tire in front of Aunt Julia’s
[Mrs. Alten’s twin sister] but I hadn’t anymore than thought about it when I [a] young
man came across the street and fixed it for me. Lucky girl.
April 12
Must have skipped a day [April 1 was skipped].
Friday, April 13 [dates are now correct]
School
After school, Dorothy, Fran VanLeeuwen and I went to the Empress. We bought 10-cent
seats and the man let us sit down stairs and we marched way down in front. More luck
and nerve. Went to the Sock and Buskin play Friday night with Duke. He also asked me
to go to the Central Hop.
Saturday, April 14
This morning Mama & I burned the dry grass on the side of the house. Went down to get
some shoes later on but they didn’t have their oxfords in yet. Saturday night Fran Carr
and I went down to the Liberty.
Sunday, April 15
Papa, Ella and I went to church this morning and Mr. Freeman talked about the new
Russian Republic. He seems to think that it is a wonderful thing. Dorothy and I went to
the Lib. this afternoon. She came over for lunch and Ella, Ave, Dorothy and I went to the
Strand.

�Monday, April 16 [this entry continues from April 16-April 19 although she wrote in the
day next to the date on each page]
Came right home intending to make a waist but no one was home to cut it so I studied.
Went down town later in the afternoon and brought the folks home. Went to Samaritan
meeting at 7:30 but it was postponed. All you hear around hear [here] is war and I never
had more enemies in my life, because I am a pacifist and more over of German descent.
Almost every boy in school has enlisted and there
[written on page for Tuesday, April 17]
are very few girls that are not [moving?] or doing some relief work. I don’t know whether
I am wrong or not but I haven’t done anything of that sort yet. I see where there is going
to be a terrible winter before us and I guess the best any of us can do is to raise as much
food as possible. I guess our Western trip is knocked in the head. Emma, Frank [younger
brother of Mrs. Alten], and Billy [Frank’s adopted son] are going to move to Houston
Texas and
[written on page for Wednesday, April 18]
are going to get in here Sat. We had patriotic assembly today and it certainly aroused all
the patriotism there is in one. It just made me sick. I can’t see enough reason for war and
I think it is terrible for us to get mixed up in this terrible slaughter too. The boys are
enlisting and do farm work now and they look a little better to me. At K.E.E. meeting
several of the girls gave talks on the war and I certainly had to bite my lip more
[written on page for Thursday, April 19]
than once. They don’t seem to think that the Germans are even human and all they want
to do is killem. I never saw such narrow-mindedness or insanity. Ave proposed to Ella
last night. She hasn’t been feeling well for quite a while and today Dr. Wells said that he
had to go to bed for a week. Nervous and poor heart. Poor Kid she wants to be healthy
like I am.
[April 20 – April 21 left blank]

Saturday, April 28
Saturday went down town & did a little shopping. Sat. afternoon Em, Billy and I went
over on the West Side. Saturday night Duke and I went to the Art club party. Letter from
Lucille.
Sunday, April 29
Got up at 9:30 & Mama, Ella and I went to church. They are even urging the girls to drill
so you can see the feeling around here. Quite a few of the boys have already gone on
17
�farms. The conscription bill has been passed including all men between 19 & 40. Duke
and Ave came up in the afternoon. Ave traded in our old car & $25 and got a Hupmobile.
Duke & I went to the Strand and then the Sweets shop.
Monday, April 30
School
I found out that there is going to be a Helios party next Sat. and now I have to ask
somebody again. Billy is running around in his diaper and shirt and now is too cute for
words. It’s only 8 but I ‘m tired so I guess I’ll go to bed.
Tuesday, May 1 [written on Memoranda page]
School
I asked Thorn[e] Brown to the Helios party this morning and he accepted. He acted
awfully glad too. There was a J.F.E. meeting after school at Ruth Chamberlains and we
planned a picnic up the river in several weeks. Duke called up and asked me to go to the
Maj. and I went. I like him a lot better than I used to and he’s awfully nice to me. Duke
asked me to go to Miss Hollister’s party at the Pantlind the same night as the Helios party
so I guess I won’t be able to go.

School
Special K.E.E. meeting. Hugh was up at school with his uniform on and he certainly
looked dandy but I feel awfully sorry for the poor kid I don’t understand him. I wish I
knew how he felt toward me. Dorothy came over after school & we talked war. Her
brother is going to enlist. I took Mama over on the west side and then the whole bunch
went over to Cusick's. I am here with Viola taking care of Billy.
Thursday, May 3
School
This afternoon Dorothy and I went to the Empress and sat in the 10-cent seats. It was one
of the best bills I’ve ever seen there. We bought an awfully cute combination suit pattern
together and some material on a sale. Mr. Jandorf has been accused of being a German
spy several times and everyone is boycotting him. He found a yellow paper on his
machine the other day, representing a yellow streak. I wonder what will happen next.
[Saturday crossed out] May 4, Friday
School
Went downtown with Dorothy and then came home and took Emmy on the west side.
Went to the Maj. with Julia, Emma, Viola, and saw Pauline Fredrick.

�I was down at school all Monday decorating for the Helios Party. In the afternoon Ella
and I stopped in school for a minute and met Duke and Jack. We went down town, did
some shopping. I then came home. Went to the party Saturday night with Thorn[e]e
Brown. After this party we went to Miss Hollister’s party at the Pantlind and danced until
12. Had a peach of a time.
Sunday, May 6
Sunday morning Harriet and I broke into the school with a skeleton K.E.E. and took our
junk home. Duke and Ave came up in the afternoon and seeing as it was raining we
didn’t go up the river. Duke and I had a sort of fight, at any rate I had a perfectly rotten
time. Learned a little about cribbage Sunday night.
Monday, May 7
School
A wonderful case started on Thorn[e]’s side and that’s all I’ve heard all day. Saturday he
asked me to the Senior Play and a Masonic party Friday night. Saw Marguerite Clark this
afternoon. Cut a combination and started it to-night.
Tuesday, May 8

McKeon, and I went up the river. I paddled about 4 miles and sure am some strong girl. It
was just wonderful. Flower [flour] is $19 a barrel.
Friday, May 11
School
Well, I’ve found someone to sympathize with me at last. Thorn[e]e is strongly proGerman, but about the only person I know of that is and it certainly is encouraging.
Friday night Ella, Ave, Thorn[e] and I went to the Empress and it certainly was good. I
sat right next to Louis Edison too, my 6’6” friend.
Saturday, May 12
19
�I accomplished an awful lot to-day. I did a lot around the house this morning and then
washed the machine. Went down town this afternoon and to a K.E.E. entertainment tonight. Received a letter from Lucille sent through her mother and it seems to me as
though she were in little less than a prison. Has been quarantined for months & can only
write 1 letter a week.
Sunday, May 13
Went to church this morning & so did Thorn[e], Mama and Papa drove to Greenville with
the Kutches. Ave, Ella, Thorn[e] and I went up the river this afternoon. Duke called up
and asked me to go up but I had allready planned on going with Thorn[e]. Duke asked me
to the opening party providing he was still here.
Monday, May 14
School.
Played tennis for the first time at Thorn[e]’s the fifth hour today. I am some player. An
English woman [spoke] to us in assembly to-day and she certainly did picture the
Prussians as heartless Brutes. No wonder the people over here are so one sided. We never
hear any truth. Went to the Maj. to-night and saw a picture in which they made fun of the
pacifists.
Tuesday, May 15
I had a sore foot to-day and didn’t go to school, but more fun why I never had a better
time. I intended to go in the afternoon, but the bunch was over at Tom’s court and we all
decided to skip. J. Stacy Harriet McKeon Thorn[e] and I went out to the lake & fiddled
around in an old row boat with a couple of boards. Came back & went to mock elections
& little party afterwards with Thorn[e]. Sweets. Played at playgrounds at Lincoln Park.
Wonderful time.

Friday, May 25
School
Skipped after the 3rd hr. and came home to get ready for the house party. Dorothy and
Helen Bradford rode down with the Cassidy’s and Fran Carr, Fran VanLeeuwen, Donna
and I went down on the 3 o’clock car. The weather just cleared up at about noon Friday
and it sure was great. Roberta, K. Baert, and I left together the first night.
Saturday, May 26
Well, I should judge we went to bed at about 3 o’clock last night, or rather this morning.
Taffy Spence came down on the eight o’clock car and we certainly did chum up. I’m just
wild about her. Had a peach of a time Sat. went to Holland etc. The $50,000 cement walk
that was built there last year is almost all washed down & if the water doesn’t stop
21
�coming up there won’t be any Mac. [Macatawa] in a couple of years. Taffy and I lay
down and the swing with our clothes on and stayed awake all night. Never slept a wink.

K. Baert – John Stacey
D. Baert – Bob MacKinsey [Mackenzie]
Ella – Ave

Fran Carr – Jack Fowler
Roberta – Mac Marshall
Taffy – Doug McCall
Doug is a peach
Monday, May 28
We just had a peach of a time Sunday. Had a big wennie [weenie] roast and went home
on the 8 o’clock car. I heard that Duke & Jack got drunk Sat. night and that rather spoiled
it for me. It makes me disgusted and I wish I knew what to do. I had a peach of a time
with Douglas & Taffy though so that rather made up for it.
Tuesday, May 29
School
Monday night was the big opening party at the boat club and I went with Duke. I was
rather lame[?] after the house party but I soon forgot that and had a peachy time. I am as
strong as an ox, nothing phases [fazes] me. After school I went over to Roberta’s for a
while and Taffy was there. Took Mama to the cemetery and then put up our lunch for the
Lowell Trip.
Wednesday, May 30
Decoration day.
Thorn[e], Ave, Ella & I left on the 6:35 train this morning with the boat club bunch. We
paddled down from there, about 38 miles, Paddled up the Thorneapple on the way and
went to Ada. Got back to the club at about 7 and Duke & Jack were up on the porch to
greet us. On the way home our street car & a machine bumped & had an awful smash up.
[May 31 left blank]
Friday, June 1 [written on Memoranda page]
School Night
Roberta, Judy Muir, Taffy, John Hancock, Doug and I went out to Ramona and [rode] on
the Derby about a dozen times. I like Doug awfully well.
[June 1 left blank]
Saturday, June 2
22
�Downtown twice bought the best looking blueish [bluish] green sikls [silk] for a sport suit
I ever saw. Fran Carr, Duke & Jack came up Sat night. Doug called up and asked to come
up Wednesday.
Sunday, June 3
I went to church and there sure was some excitement. Some wanted Mr. Freeman to talk
about the convention he attended in N.Y. for terms of peace and some didn’t. Everyone
talked and a lot [swore] in the church right there. Papa included. Fran Carr and I went out
to the G.R.Golf club and played tennis.
Monday, June 4
Came home & helped sew on my graduation dress. It was decided to only have one dress
instead of three this year on account of the war. My dress is white net with while taffeta
bodice. I’ve gotten two cards from Malcolm and from what he says I guess he’s awfully
lonesome. He is [at] Great Lake Training Camp in Chicago at present.
Tuesday, June 5
To-day we had to practically make my dress & we sure did do some tall hustling. Was
out riding in the afternoon as it happened it was raining and Ella and I didn’t have any
coats or hats when the machine busted & we had to borrow Papa’s and Ave’s coat &
walk home. Tuesday night was class night & now I suppose I’m almost grown up, who
knows. I don’t.
Wednesday, June 6
Sprained my ankle & didn’t go to school today. Went on a H.G.L. Winnie [weenie] roast
tonight with Doug Mcoll[?] Mr. Freeman spoke at Powers on the convention on terms of
peace and the repealing of the child labor act that he attended in New York. I think that
some of the people are beginning to appreciate him, but not nearly enough.
Thursday, June 7
School rained & has been raining every day for just ages. Taffy and I went over to
Roberta’s after school & made candy. I sure am crazy about Taffy. I wrote 4 letters
Thursday night. One to Harriet, Lucille, and Malcolm.
Friday, June 8
School
After school Taffy & I went over to Dorothy’s & acted silly. My but I had a good time.
Made my sandwiches over there & then went to a Kee [K.E.E.] spread at Alta Thomas’.
Went to a meeting at church to vote whether to keep Mr. Freeman or not. Duke came up
afterwards & we walked home together.
Saturday, June 9
We got the news this morning that Mr. Freeman and quite a few others had been arrested.
It’s makes me sick, he’s the most wonderful man I know. Took Mama over on the west
side & went out riding. Went on the Derby Sat night & out riding with Taffy, Tubhy
Muir, Alworth Christian, and Dwight Coulter.
23
�Sunday, June 10
Went to church and got Fran to go with us. Never spent a bluer Sunday in my life. Duke
asked me to go up the river but I couldn’t go. Went over to Taffy’s instead. Duke may
have had a rotten reputation once but I think he’s alright now. Mama doesn’t want me to
talk with him or have him up so I’ll have to do the next best thing. Some people are
unreasonable but we must humor them.
Monday, June 11
School
Duke wrote a letter to me in care of Gladys Goldsborough Tuesday. I pretty nearly got
canned out of school to-day. John Stacey and I were playing tennis and we got caught
going back. Miss Daniels took me to Miss James and talked to me for 35 minutes but it
all just seemed like a joke to me at the time and I didn’t care a bit.
Tuesday, June 12
Still Tuesday
Pounded square into her on the way back and didn’t know what else to do so I ran and
she sent John after me but I snook [snuck] where he couldn’t get me, in the girlsroom. It
was really loads of fun. Went over to Allyn Stinchcomb’s, she just got back from a
sanitarium but is looking fine. Mighty pretty.
Wednesday, June 13
Had a dreadful headache today and didn’t go to school. Mama[?] and Julia sewed on my
silk suit. Lucille came in on the 1 o’clock train & I went down to meet her. London[?]
was [?] so Mr. Cusick couldn’t go. She’s looking great and is [a] pretty girl. Took Allyn,
Lucille, Roberta & Taffy over on the West side with me.
[June 14 through June 30 skipped]
Sunday, July 1
I got so sick of writing in this old diary that I thought I would take a little rest. Sunday
morning Avery, Ella and I left G.R. for Sturgis at 9:30. We took a bunch of pictures
along and went on business. It was raining a little when we started and before long we
had an awful rain storm. It soon cleared up and everything was dandy. We came down
straight through Kalamazoo and the roads as a whole were good, but there were a few
awful pieces. We didn’t have a bit of trouble with Newt [the car] and arrived at 4:30.
There wasn’t any train out that night so Ave stayed and took the 3:46 A.M. train.
Monday, July 2
Monday morning I washed the machine [car] and then carted Ella around. Did the same
Monday afternoon & writing a bunch of cards.
