31 août 1949 - She is dating.

Description:

Makes a list of the 29 boys she has gone out with since fall of 1948. She might "fall," for someone and the next time realize she isn't interested at all (Redmond.) She frets extensively over whether or not she will be invited to school dances, as an invitation is a marker of social achievement. Poems suggest she was "in love," with one man, Perry, yet he states that there interaction was very innocent. After a date with John, she worries of him telling everyone she is "strait-laced," while one friend at that time said she was "boy crazy."
