Dear Dr. Allen,

Again I call upon you for help. I am placing
my name on file at the N Y U Appointment Bureau
and need a few references. I shall appreciate any
statement you might wish to make on the enclosed
blank.

Half of the summer session is over already. My
how time does fly. I have a test in Safety Procedures
this afternoon. It seems that all of the teachers
think this is the end of the semester and they got
together and decided to give final exams on this first
semeste#s work. However I don't let it bother me.
I've learned that worry over tests is a bad thing.
Alice is now concentrating on a test in Principles.
That is the main course here and everyone worries
over the tests in it.

Most of the past week has been perfect camping
weather. I was 6& the city Saturday, spent the day
at the fair and was it ever hot. Perhaps I noticed
it more because I was dressed up rather than in my
shorts as I'm used to wearing here.

Next Saturday is Columbia University day here in
camp. About 35 Columbia students are coming out to
spend the day playing tennis, badminton, swimming,
baseball, etc. then stay for the camp dance Sat. night.
It's always a big day especially for those of us who
are on the committee and are responsible for seeing
that everyone has fun.

I must close this and get to work. I hope this
doesn't cause you too much trouble. Thanking you
for any help you may give me, I remain

yours truly,

Lahow,
Deby}
