Book 2, Page 144 ·1934–1937
Transcription
Dee went to Hollins for one year — there her eyes gave her trouble. She could only take three subjects — so the following year she stayed in Charleston with Mrs. Heyward, and went to the Charleston college.
It was during her year at Hollins that she met Bob Cornell who was a cadet at V.P.I.
We had moved to Jay Jacksonville Fla. in Oct. 1934. In 1936 she stayed at home and took a business course.
Mary Ann go went to St. Mary’s — in Raleigh Sept. 1934. She got sick in Nov. and did not go back after the Xmas holidays — Puck had gone to Jax. in Oct. 1934, but we did not move there until Jan. 1935. Mary Ann entered the High School there and graduated in 1937. That fall she went to King-Smith['s] school in Washington, D. C. She was there a year.

AI Notes
A handwritten narrative in pencil on lined notebook paper, in the hand of Amy FitzSimons (Mrs. James Pickens Walker), recording the schooling of her daughters Dee (Emma Dee Walker) and Mary Ann Walker in the mid-1930s. A small black-and-white photograph of a young woman in a long coat and hat standing beside a tall stone urn is mounted at the lower left corner of the page; an arrow drawn next to the photo carries the caption ‘Taken while at King-Smith.’ The photo is presumably of Mary Ann.
corrected “Pucle” to “Puck” (the nickname for James Pickens Walker Sr., the compiler’s husband; corroborated against the family-context notes); corrected the business-course year from “1935” to “1936”; standardized the strike-through abbreviation (“Jay” → “Jacksonville”) in the writer’s hand.
