Oh, what a week this is turning out to be, Sunday started talking to Lucile, all afternoon way up high, that evening in the dumps, yesterday placidly enjoying myself, then today! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

About

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.
