March 2, 1957

Dear Bob,

I got my marks this week, and I came out with a 3.2 average using the five-point system, four C+'s and
a B in German.  This means that I have the highest average of any freshman on the fourth floor of Lord
Hall (there are two of us).

Now that M is part of the sometimes painful but always instructive past, I have shifted my sights to
greener more mature pastures.  I'm corresponding regularly with a girl who spent first semester at
Springfield College (Mass.) but is now attending Cortland in up-state New York, near home.  I hope
to have her here (not to be interpreted in the Aldous Huxley sense) for Green Key weekend sometime
in May.  We'll see what develops.  She writes wonderful letters that make me wish.................

We have our spring vacation from March 28th to April 7, and I may come home.  I would appreciate
it very much if you did not call my house as you did when I went to Detroit, for I am planning to
surprise everyone.

Sorry to hear that J has followed the lead of some of her more ravishing contemporaries, but it is
probably all for the better.

OB to KG5

P.S. Your mom went me some wonderful cookies!  Somebody loves me!
