Miss Norma’s Diary – September 30, 1960 – ” I really don’t know who I like the best. Loren or Warren?”

Friday

Today I went to school and nothing exciting happened as usual. . .

Warren didn’t pay too much attention to me today and I was a little mad.

. . .At night, I didn’t go down to the miniature gold course because Barbara went to the football game in L.A. Later at night, I walked down to Thrifty with Mommy and Daddy and on the way back as we were walking across Emerald street there was this guy walking down Emerald and I am positive it was Loren. He was tall and he had sorta blond hair. He had a blue shirt on and tan pants and he had his hands in his pockets like Loren and he had bare feet. He walked right past us and I kept looking back at him but if it was Loren, he didn’t see me. I have so many crushes on so many boys now it’s pitiful. I really don’t know who I like the best. Loren or Warren?

Miss Norma’s Diary – September 29, 1960 – ” I was just about cussing myself out”

Thursday

“Today I went to school and I got Dick’s picture. After school, Barbara and I went down the street. At night we went down to the miniature golf course and Loren was working. We played golf in 10 minutes and when we got through, Barbara wanted to bowl. So just before Barbara threw the ball, Loren said, ‘Wait, I want to play a game with you’ so he did and Loren would look at me and smile, all the time he would smile. When we were through bowling, Loren went and got 3 more dimes and we bowled again. Later Mr. And Mrs. Richards came and I though Loren was going to stay. Mrs. Richards asked us if we wanted a ride home and I said, ‘I don’t want to go home yet.’ I wouldn’t have said this but I thought Loren was going to stay. Well anyway as Mrs. Richards was asking us Loren was standing there smiling at me. When they was walking to Loren’s car, Barbara and I went to the head and I was just about cussing myself out. Then I told Barb to ask Mrs. Richards if they still wanted to take us home and so they took Barbara home first and then they took me home. When I got home, I told Mommy and Daddy that Mrs. Richards took me home. When Loren and his mom was taking us home, .  . .

I was holding onto his surfboard and it is real smooth . . .

. . .and all four of us was sitting in front but Mrs. Richards was sitting next to Loren. Before Mrs. And Mr. Richards got there tonight, Loren was talking to us. Barb had her radio out and the song ‘You Talk Too Much’ was playing and Loren said, ‘I don’t like that song at all’ he said ‘The first time I heard it, it was playing on my car radio and I pushed the button to change it to another station.’ Then Loren was looking at my radio KDEO sheet and on the back of it I had blotted my lipstick and there was a lip imprint. So, Loren turned the sheet over and there was another was another boy there and so Loren showed it to him and said, ‘See what they do on any old piece of paper?’ Then Loren said, ‘Just think how many people touch these things and then they drop them on the floor and put them back with the others and paint ‘em which to make ‘em look clean.’ And Loren was saying something about his English teacher cracks him up.”

Miss Norma’s Diary – September 25, 1960 – “I kept smiling at Bruce. He is so much cuter now”

Sunday

“Today in the morning for a little while we went down to the miniature golf course and Loren and Mr. Richards was there. In the afternoon, Barbara’s folks took us up to the Clairmont golf course and it is real crappy. They let weeds grow out of the greens and the course is so small. At night, Barbara and I went down to the miniature golf course and Loren was there. He didn’t flirt with us at all tonight.  Bruce and his mom and dad and brother was down there tonight and me and Bruce and Bob kept looking at me and. . .

I kept smiling at Bruce. He is so much cuter now. . .

2016-09-22-17-58-20

. . .When they were through playing, Bruce walked by me and he looked at me. I said ‘hi’ and he said ‘hello’ and then bob kept staring at me and he was smiling all the time. Then the dad smiled at Barb and said ‘hi’! A few minutes later, Bruce was standing up at the counter and there was a few guys up there too and somebody said, ‘she lives up on Diamond Street’ and I don’t know if they was even talking about me. Barbara and me ran in the head and started cracking up. Later, we was standing by the 19th hold and some guy was asking Loren about Mal and he asked him how old he was and Loren said he was 19 and Barbara and I ran in the head and we started cracking up again and I kept saying, ‘5 years older than me is enough but 6 years is too much’ and we would laugh. There was really nothing funny at all.”

At night I watched television.”
