Summary
Reporting that she has received two prizes, one for French and one for General Attention [i.e., for having the most good marks and the fewest bad]. She was successful at the concert. The Big Girls' concert was followed by "show dancing," supper, and speeches, after which they all danced anything they liked until 1:30. Up at 11, they packed, with fire in their room. It was great fun, though some of the farewells were affecting. She thinks she will enjoy her visit with the Parkers, Mr. Parker having come to take them home.
