Nanny's Diaries: June 7, 1957 Betty Louise Crook Graduates BJHS

The blog posts below are taken from my grandmother's diaries. Althea Green Smith Crook was lovingly referred to as Nanny to her immediate family ~ thus her diaries are called Nanny's Diaries.

Nanny wrote in her diaries when she remembered to - mostly in the evening. There will be some years in which she didn't keep diaries and there will also be some days/weeks in her yearly diaries in which she skipped or forgot to write in them. For the most part, these are her words - written as she wrote them. There will be typos, forgotten punctuation, and other grammatical errors - but I am rewriting these as my Nanny originally wrote them.

As with all old handwriting, there are some entries that I can't quite make out - and these entries will be followed with a (?) to signify that this may or may not be correct or I can't figure out what she is trying to write.

Thank you Nanny for leaving us 50 years worth of memories! We miss you!

Friday, June 7, 1957 Betty Louise Crook BJHS

Today Betty graduated from Bridgton Junior High School. A very nice graduation, all very pretty. Milan, Fern, Aunt Ava, Uncle Os and I went in Milan’s car. Aunt Linnie went with Esther Allen. Milan left for home this p.m. Nice weather for graduation, rained a heavy showers before we got home. Got some snaps of the baby, Billie Deming. Betty up to Steve’s and Steve back here with Betty.
