The 1st and 2nd series took their scholarship tests. In town and in the surrounding area things are hopping and things are getting hot. Rumors are running wild. I hurt myself in gym this morning (toe). This afternoon I was able to go out by joining with others to carry baggage for the refugees. The seniors wanted no part of us. I also went to the movie at the youth center. I saw: “The Heroic Struggle.” I hope I’ll be able to leave soon because I have had it. We heard machine gun fire this evening in study hall.

It was said that they will be returning right away but they were all taken away with the “cuckold.” The Germans came searching etc. We played. [Peter used this often as a a code word for hiding]
