Rode my bike. Got to school at 8am and took State test in solid geometry - thru alright I guess. Rode bike downtown and had my new pants altered a little - rode around saw the tallest man in the world on Hennepin Ave. - about twice as tall as I am. He is acting at The Palace this week. Rode around and home, cut part of the lawn, rode down to lake, read, lessons and to bed.

Last day of school - had history and trig tests, got a "double" in State Geometry test, was busy as the deuce attending and arranging for our History picnic next Tuesday. Had class meeting and Gordon Bates and Mr Jordan gave their farewell speeches. Mr. Jordan pointed out his theory of life - to make your home and family happy first and then the spirit of outside work will come to you. The Hesperian came out lunch period. By my picture they stuck "Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others" To master Trig is Harold's life's work. I spent all 7th per. and an hour or so after getting signatures in the back of my annual. Brought my books home (on my bike) and rode down again and got guns and sword left from practice for the play. Talked with Walt in eve read annual and to bed.,
