dear journal 1942
to day i wore a pink shirt all over campus and i wore a tie for a belt. mr. patch withers stopped me when i walked passed him and he told me that what i was doing was disrespectful and that i shouldnt be weraring my cloths like that. i should be wearing my school uniform but i can get out of any situation. im a smooth talker so mr. patch withers thought that it was  kinda funny after and he was ok with it. i am five feet and eight and a half inches tall and about one hundred and fifty pounds. people say that i am athletic strong smat a risk taker and goofy. i dont relly think the war is real gene is just like me but he thinks he is five feet and nine inches. me and gene were both going to turn seventeen at the end of the summer and after that we would be drafted into the army. i had saved gene from falling onto the bank and  if he hadfallen he might have broken hes back.
