July 14
Sunday mom we slept an hour later
on account of the noisy thunder shower the night
"before* It rained most of the morning and
after assembly every one wrote, and did various
things including piano concerts from 9:00 a.m to
9:00 p.m. No intermission!!
We also had a late dinner and went
swimming. The most exciting event of the day consisted
in a "powder fight" between Rooms, "Dangerous
Wild Animals Keep Out," and "Closed for
Repairs." The weapons used were eight varieties
of highly scented powder. The battle lasted for
15 to 20 minutes and most of the fighting was done
in "Closed for Repairs." When the air
was so thick it could be cut with a knife and air
and breaths were coming far between the fighting
stopped by word from Generalissima Quimby.
"Wiggle" was served on the
side porch and three glasses of milk managed to
tip over.
