Dear Diary,
Last night we followed Linford & Lillian just down past the corner at Glovers. Today Theo, M. L., Lucile & I told them we’d seen the queerest freak, half-girl, half-boy, it couldn’t have been them! Linford was disgusted, Lillian amused. That’s about all. Oh, no. Lucile went home with a sick headache.
My grandmother, Mary (Cady) Priddy (1924-2014), left behind her high school diary. It was primarily written during her senior year of high school, 1941, in Richburg, New York.
The diary covers everyday activities (family life, school, church, hanging out with friends) as well as Mary's high school romance, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and hometown boys enlisting in the military after America's entry into World War II.
