My journal entry for Monday, October 28, 1968
I got up at 6:00. After breakfast, I headed for school. In Merriman, I climbed aboard the bus, and we proceeded on to Gordon.
Mr. Bamsey gave us an average-size assignment in Algebra II. I read in "Billy Budd," by Herman Melville in study hall and again throughout English period. We reviewed for a test to be given Wednesday in Ag.
Mom came up with a wild sandwich concoction—peanut butter, lettuce, and cheese. It tasted pretty good. I read during the remainder of noon hour.
We talked about the early self-governing problems America had in History. I had plenty to do to keep me occupied during the last study hall for the day. School was dismissed an hour early, as there was a teacher's meeting during the usual seventh period. Nobody cried over this development.
Louie Mason [bus driver] let us stop for pop before coming on home. The girls rode home with me from Merriman.
There was a Republican fund-raising banquet in Valentine tonight. Mom, Dad, Sandra, and I went, leaving Sybil and Nancy Jean at Grandma's.
The guests of honor were Governor Norbert Tiemann, Roman Hruska, and Dave Martin. As luck would have it, Tiemann sat right across the table from Ken and me, so we chatted a little about football, good books, etc. Elvin Adamson also sat in our "neck of the woods."
We listened to some fairly interesting speeches before coming home. I made it into bed at about 11:30 Mountain Standard Time.
