Sylvester Schaeffer was a famous Vaudevillian who did it all -juggler, magician, musician, acrobat and more

Lincoln's birthday - warm, but cloudy and not melting.

In the morning Stew and I walked down to the Lake of Isles and saw West [high school] beat North [high school] in Hockey to the tune of 3-1. We have the championship about scinched now. Not lost game. Home and went over to Stew and boxed about 6 rounds with him. He is nearly a foot taller than I and has a big advantage in reach. We were about even in the scrap. Then Walt, Stew, Ruth , and I play 500 and we beat.

Home and Pa and I went down to The Orpheum and saw Sylvester Shaffer from The "Roof Garden." He could do almost everything and was fine. Home and to bed.

Rained last night and everything is all icy. Can't walk without breaking your neck. Started to rain in the m again before noon and kept it up all day. Water and Ice make journeying pretty hard.
