June 8 - 10, 1961 Betty Graduates From High School

Thursday, June 8, 1961

BETTY LOUISE CROOK graduated from Bridgton High School at the Bridgton Town Hall. How happy we all are. She has been through hell and high water, but stuck to it and made it. Hope she has a happy future and a happy home life of her own with the right man (MIKE). Time will tell. Bill, Mike, myself, Kennard, Delores, Fern, Bob, Blanche, Jean, Aunt Ava and I all went, sat together. A very nice graduation.

Pretty good day with a light rain in early evening. A man was killed tonight on Route 117. John Scully.
