Dear Mom & Dad,
It's been a busy week & I have another just as busy coming up so I thought I'd better write today while I had the chance. Thanks for the permission but we didn't go in the end.
Big deal coming up this weekend! Mary Rintoul is going to have her family's car & a bunch (7) of us want to drive to New York Saturday morning, staying through Sunday afternoon. We could spend Sat. night at Donna Vroman's in Rumson, N.J. Probably get to see a show. The only permission needed would be to drive to & from New York on Sat, April 16 & Sunday, April 17 with Mary Rintoul. Why don't you just write it "to whom it may concern"
Easter we went to a sunrise service here which was nice but nothing like H. Chapel. The[y] switched ministers on us & instead of Dean Noble we had a Dr. Olson for the regular church service. Also from Syracuse but nothing like Noble.
Saturday night a bunch of us went to the movies & had pizza afterwards, sort of a birthday party. One of the kids went home for Easter - Betty Koch - & her mother made me a birthday cake which she brought back so last night we had another party to eat that.
Friday night the dorm had a splash party in the pool & Thursday I had supper at the Outing Club cabin with the new & old board members. I go to my first meeting tonight at 9. In between it all, I've been to about 5 choir rehearsals in the past week practicing for Sunday.
I have a place for you Parents' weekend but it isn't very near. Mary Rintoul lives in East Longmeadow, just outside of Springfield. Her mother said they would like to have someone's parents stay there that weekend. I told Mary we would pay them the usual $5 but she said no so we'll see. I thought it would be nice to stay there & get to know them but if you want to be in S. Hadley, I can still find a room if you let me know right away.
I'm all set on roommates for next year. I'm rooming with Ginna (Virginia) Wickham who's from Long Island. We draw for dorms in about 3 weeks so by parents' weekend we'll have our rooms all set.
At the moment we're on the fire escape in the sun. Temperature's around 80. This gorgeous weather can't last.
I have an appointment with my advisor, will find out what my mid-term marks are. Could you send my pen up as soon as possible? This one is horrible.
Love,
Liz
