SCHENECTADY: -- Bright and cold. Some snow and blustery. Arose 8 A.M. Odd jobs. Dinner. Downstreet. To "Y" for shower etc. Supper. Packed trunk & got dressed. To Scotia after Ruth Pettit, then after Marion and Hanford. We 4 to College to basket-ball game Union 13 - Queensland (Canadian) 28. Good game. Watched dancing for awhile. Milk-floats at FINKS. Talked. Home. To bed 12 P.M. Thankful for health and life.
**********
I was unable to locate a current Queensland College in Canada, and could not find a reference to milk-floats, although I have to guess that a milk-float is like a Coke float, but with milk instead of soda. Ice cream, of course, would be essential, especially to Stanford who loved ice cream! Finks must have been a restaurant in 1924, but I can find no record of it.
So, we'll just have to take Stanford's word for all this!
I think it's interesting that he's still dating Ruth Pettit, though perhaps they're just going out as friends.
