\r\n Listening to the radio, Tom hears music he recognizes, having played it in the band. But he’s frustrated that he can’t initially recall the name of it, and it makes him angry. Perhaps the anger is for other reasons, as Tom is trying to understand the Zoe\/Tom relationship. She has accepted someone else’s fraternity pin. He notes that at Northwestern, this is a “great deal.” He’s decided to remain at Northwestern over the summer to take the 11 week summer course.\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

Dearest,<\/p>\n

I tried to write last night but even as it was I didn’t get to bed till 2:30. I had an hour exam in chem this morning at 8:30. I got up at 6:00 and studied. I think I did pretty well on it.<\/p>\n

I am going to call the folks tonight. They haven’t written for a week and a half so I figure that if I call them and reverse the charges that it might cure them.<\/p>\n

They are playing some piece on the radio now that we have played in band but I can’t think of its’ name. That makes me so mad I feel like throwing the thing out the window when I can’t remember the names of them.<\/p>\n

I haven’t been down to Elaine’s for a couple of weeks. I think I will go down there Sat. and play tennis with Stanley.<\/p>\n

In Trig we are really beginning to get in Spherical Trig. I don’t think I would ever have any trouble with a navy navigation course after taking this.<\/p>\n

Honey, I don’t know what going on down there are just how things line up and there isn’t anyway for me to find out. I hope you will let me know if the status changes in anyway. I don’t know what pin hanging means down there but up here it is considered a great deal. Just having it two weeks seems sort of funny.<\/p>\n

Just found out what the piece was “Capriece Italian” (sp.)<\/p>\n
