VALENTINE DAY
Overcast, cool & breezy. Arose 7:50 A.M. Breakfast. Studied. Class 9:30 A.M. Swept out room etc. Dinner. Worked 12 M to 2 P.M. Class 2:15 P.M. Chapel by Dr. Butters. Very comforting. Read. Supper. Valentines from M.M.B & M.L.S. Box ♡ of candy from M.L.Y. Studied in evening. Lunch of crackers and jelly from Norway. A gift from Joseph Purd[u]e. To bed 12:30 P.M. Thankful for privilege of education.

**********
I think MMB is Marion Benedict, Hanford's girlfriend. MLS is Mildred Swart. MLY is, of course, Mary Leah. I wonder if the heart shape signifies his love of candy or his appreciation of the giver?

Joseph Purdue's mother is from Norway, so that may be the reason he is giving Stanford food gifts from Norway.
