Miss Norma’s Diary – December 9, 1960 – “I wanted to sit behind him in the show but there wasn’t any seats.”

Friday

“Today I went to school and after school I went to the beauty shop with Barb. At night we went to the show. We were standing at the door and Warren walked by me and smiled. I wanted to sit behind him in the show but there wasn’t any seats. Verne and Connie, Butch, Wayne, Carol & Brian and Benny was there. Then later, Sonny and that other guy came. For a while, Benny was sitting with me but Barb kept talking about Warren so Benny got jealous and we sat with Bob. Later, Ben said he was going to get the (crop?) from Connie but she wouldn’t give it to him but he got it later only Connie threw them on the floor and Ben couldn’t find it.

Warren must have left before the show was over because I couldn’t find him.

Miss Norma’s Diary – December 6, 1960 – ” After last night, he had lip stick all over him and it wouldn’t come off”

Tuesday

“Today I went to school and after school I did not go out with Connie because Connie had to meet Brian after school. So, I went out with Barb and we saw Warren. Then he crossed the street to go home. He looked back and he kept looking back. He just stared at us. Then Barb said Benny told her that he was with Connie over the weekend and that he went over to her house last night and he said he didn’t like her. After last night, he had lip stick all over him and it wouldn’t come off. Barbara saw the lipstick on him so I said,

‘There’s nothing between Benny and me anymore.’
