Miss Norma’s Diary – August 11, 1960 – “God Norma, I don’t know what’s the matter with that guy. He keeps staring at you.”

Thursday

“Today I went Loren the street with Mommy and Marie. When we walked by Pennys, I looked down at the M.G.C and I saw Loren’s car. So, Mommy and Marie went in Penny’s and I went to Barbara’s. When I got there I told her that Loren’s car was there and she said she knew. She said her and her dad drove by there a while ago and she said she saw a car just like Malcolm’s car parked 4 blocks from the M.G.C. So, first we walked down to the Miniature golf course to see if Loren was there but he was not. Lincoln was there. At night Ian, Mabel and I played miniature golf and Loren was there. As we were playing, Ian said to me, . . .

. . .”God Norma, I don’t know what’s the matter with that guy. He keeps staring at you.’

I said, ‘Who? The one who is working in the office?’ And Ian said, ‘Yea.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s all right, that’s Malcolm’s brother Loren.’

Tonight Ian won five free games again and he gave them to me. After we played Miniature golf, we went to the drive-in to see ‘The Rat Race’. It was with some crappy movie. At the drive-in, Ian told me he was going to do a story on ‘surfers’ now and he wants me to find some guy to take me out on his surfboard and get some pictures. So, I told him about Loren and he said, ‘Will you talk to him about it sometime?’ . . .

. . .P.S. I just can’t make up my mind now if I really do love Malcolm. I don’t know what goes wrong with me when I see him, I get nervous and I just think he is the most wonderful guy I’ve ever met. But then after I don’t see him for a few days, I think I like Loren much better and I’m not even nervous around Loren. Maybe when Malcolm goes to college, I will forget about him completely, but I don’t think that could ever be possible. I just don’t make up mind.

P.P.S. It was Malcolm’s car parked 4 blocks away from the Miniature golf course.”

Miss Norma’s Diary – August 10, 1960 – “I still love Malcolm an awful lot, even if he is older”

Wednesday

“Today Barbara and I went down the street today. At night, Barbara and I went down to the Miniature golf course. When we got there, Mrs. Richards was there. She said Malcolm was supposed to work but he went home to change clothes. When Barbara and I got through playing (and we both won 5 free games) I saw Loren driving up. When Loren came up to the office, Mrs. Richards said to him, ‘Norma and Barbara just won the 19th hold again,’ And Loren said to me, ‘You’re mean, you cheated again,’ and then he smiled. After that, Mrs. Richards left. Later on, Barbara and I was sitting on the counter and Loren came up and put the club in my face, when I jumped, he said, ‘Some people sure are nervous.’ Then Jimmy said,. . .

. . .’Now be quiet Loren because Norma is going to read us her diary.’. .

. . .And Loren said, ‘Oh boy!’ Then I got out my book and Loren said, ‘Let me see it.’ So, I gave it to him and he looked at the pictures in the book. I said to him, ‘I didn’t know there was any pictures in there’ and Loren said, ‘You didn’t? That’s the first thing I look for in a book. If it doesn’t have pictures, I won’t read it.’ And then he said, ‘ I don’t remember any of these picture in the movie.’ Then, later, when Barbara and I were still sitting on the counter, I turned around and Loren had glasses on. He looked at me and he took them off real fast and he put them on the shelf. Then later, Jimmy said to us, ‘Let’s bowl.’ So, Barbara and I played against Loren and Jimmy. And Loren kept going real close to the glass. I don’t think he could see the score from far back. A little later, I said goodbye to Jimmy and then I looked at Loren and I said ‘bye’. Loren and he smiled at me and said ‘bye’. I still love Malcolm an awful lot, even if he is older.'”

Monday

“Today I went to the beach with Barbara, Joy (Barbara’s girl from La Jolla) and Mabel went too. At night, Barbara and I went down to the Miniature golf course and Loren was working. When we went up to the office we gave Loren our purses and he looked in Barbara’s purse and got out her book and said to Barbara, ‘Are you still reading ‘Mussel Beach?’ and she said, ‘yes’ and then she said Norma has on in her purse too and he looked in my purse and saw ‘The Rat race’. Now when Barbara and I were through playing M.G. Mal came. I was glad. . .

. . .Nothing Barbara and I said or did tonight turned out very well. . .

. . .When I was sitting on the counter, Loren kept putting the clubs right in front of my face and I jumped every time he did it and he said, ‘Some people sure are nervous,’ and I said to Loren, ‘If you don’t quit that. . .’ and he said, “If I don’t quit that, what will you do?’ And I didn’t say anything and he smiled. Later, Mr. Richards came and Malcolm and Loren went home but before Malcolm left he kept standing by us and staring at me and when Barbara won her 5 games and she was signing her name, Loren stood there and looked at me and he would smile. Later on, Barbara told Malcolm she won 5 free games again and he looked at me right away and said, ‘You’ve won 5 times haven’t you?’ A while before Malcolm got there tonight, Barbara took my shades out of my purse and put them on and Loren saw them and said, ‘Oh no, now they’re wearing shades,’ and Barbara said, ‘They’re not mine. They’re hers,” and he said something but now I can’t remember what. I love Malcolm (forever).”

Miss Norma’s Diary – August 7, 1960 – “‘Her face is as red as her hair’ and when he said that I really got embarrassed”

Sunday

“Today in the morning Barbara and I went down to the M.G.C. to see who was there. Mr. Richards was there so we did not go in there. Pretty soon, we walked home and then we went out with Barbara’s Mom and Dad. Then at night Barbara and I went down to the M.G.C. again. Malcolm and Loren was there. We walked up to the office and gave Loren our money. Mal was playing baseball. When we were up at the office, Loren said something to us but now I can’t remember what it was. I kept asking Barbara to ask Mal to play and then on the 3rd hole she went over and asked him and he played. He beat me by 22 points. . .

. . .When we were through playing Barbara and I sat on the counter,

. . .then I asked Loren if I could have my purse and he kept saying ‘what purse, I don’t see any purse’ then I asked Mal to get it for me and he said, ‘no’. But after a while Malcolm gave it to me and I went into the bathroom to put some lipstick on and then I came out and told Loren to put my purse back up there. My hairspray was laying on top of everything else in my purse so you could see it and Loren looked down in my purse and said ‘Wow, let’s put this smelly purse way up on top’ Then later Barbara was going to call her mother to see if I could spend the night, but she was too chicken to ask to use the phone. So, I asked. When Barbara and I was standing there, Malcolm and Loren said, ‘I smell something around here that smells like perfume.’ I guess he knew that Barbara and I were listening when he said that. . . .

. . .Barbara turned away but I just stood there and turned red, then Mal said to Loren, ‘Her face is as red as her hair’ and when he said that I really got embarrassed and I went over to the bench and sat down. In a minute Barbara came over and sat down. Then Mal came over and stood by us. Well that’s about all that happened tonight. When Barbara’s folks came Barb said goodbye to Mal and I smiled at him.

Norma + Malcolm (forever).

P.S. When I asked Mal for my purse he said ‘no’ I said ‘Loren’ in a real high voice and Mal kept sayin ‘Loren, Loren, Loren’ real fast and high up just like Frank.

P.P.S. Tonight, a few minutes after Barbara called her mother, I went up to the office and asked Mal if I could have a Hershey with Almonds and he said ‘no’ and then he said, ‘I’ll get you one if you give me half of it,’ and I said, ‘o.k.’ So, he gave it to me. So, I broke it in half but he wouldn’t take it. Before that I asked Loren for a candy bar and I handed him a 50 cent piece and he said, ‘That will be 45 cents tax’ and he laughed. Amo Malcolm.” (I Love Mal)

“Today Barbara and I went down the street to the shops and then we went down by the M.G.C. Then we decided to go to La Jolla. We went up by Malcolm’s house and his car was there. We fooled around there for a while and then we went down by the water then when we went back up to the bench on the corner. We saw a blue station wagon coming.

. . .We both looked at the license plate number and then we knew it was Loren’s. . .

. . .Barbara started jumping up and down, she wanted to run out in the street and jump on his car. Later on we went home. At night we went down to the M.G.C. and Loren was there, Barbara and I had gobs of perfume on and when we went up to the office and Loren said, ‘Umm, I smell something.” When Loren wasn’t looking, Barbara and I started cracking up.

. . .Well today when I was at Barbara’s, Mal’s car went by with Mr. and Mrs. Richards in it. Mrs. Richards saw me through the window and she waved. At the Miniature golf course tonight Mrs. Richards said she was looking for us last night because it was their night off and they wanted to take us up to the Clairmont golf course. When she told me that I could have killed Barbara. Also tonight, a boy went by with big muscles and she said, ‘You know Malcolm went in for that for a while,’ and she said he had all kinds of weights. Amo Mal.” (I Love Mal)

Friday

“Today I stayed home all day and watched television. . .

. . .Tonight we did not go to the miniature golf course. . .

. . .Mabel and I went to the Midway Drive-in to see ‘The Story of Ruth‘ and ‘The Snow Queen’. On the way to the drive-in, Mabel drove by the Miniature golf course and nobody but Jimmy was there. I don’t think Malcolm went there at all tonight because last night I said to him, ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ and he said, ‘I don’t know, maybe.'”

Thursday

“Today Barbara and I fooled around in the shops for a while and then we went down to the Miniature golf course and talked to Jimmy for a long time. Then at night we went down there again and Malcolm was there. I didn’t know whether I was glad or not because. . .

. . .I didn’t think he would talk to me, but he did, he talked and talked. . .

. . .Barbara and I played one game of golf and then Malcolm’s father came and Mr. Richards asked us if we wanted to play another game so we were on the 2nd hole and Barbara wanted Malcolm to play with us. So did I. So, she went and asked him to play and he said ‘yes’. I was very surprised. As we played, Mal kept looking at me. He would just stand there and stare at me.

Wednesday

“Today I stayed home all day and at night Barbara and I went down to the Miniature golf course and Jimmy and Loren was there. Loren said to me ‘Well, you’re still paying’ and I smiled at him. . .

. . .All night long Loren was flirting with us and he couldn’t have made me happier by flirting, . . .

. . . it’s more than his brother does now. . .

. . .Jimmy said he was going to read my diary and I said ‘no’ and when we got through with the game Jimmy said to me ‘you got some pretty good stories in that diary’ and I said ‘you didn’t read it’ at least I hope he didn’t read it. . .

. . .Barbara had her radio on and ‘I’m Sorry’ was playing and I said ‘There’s my song, turn it up!’ and then Loren walked over by us and he was singing it! Amo ?” (I love?)

Miss Norma’s Diary – August 2, 1960 – “there were two cute guys sitting at the bus stop and they kept staring at us”

Tuesday

“Today Barbara and I went down the street and then we walked by M.G. but only Jimmy was there. We said ‘hello’ to him and then we went back to Barbara’s. Her mother told her to go to the store so we went up to Mayfair and when we were walking by the bowling alley there were two cute guys sitting at the bus stop and they kept staring at us. . .

. . .They watched us all the way to Mayfair. . .

. . . At night Barbara and I went down to the Miniature golf course. Mr. and Mrs. Richards was there. Nothing much else happened today but Barbara keeps saying when she is 19, I will be 18 so she is going to live in an apartment and she said I am going to live with her. Amo Malcolm.” (I Love Malcolm)
