Monday 25th (August)
Arose did my work and prepared myself for school where I found
quite a number assembled (?). Sat and .
. . talked and laughed . . . Came home at noon. Went back in the afternoon but still
. . . to laugh, until 5 o-clock when Mr Lippett gave me my studies and . . . Mr
Wilber will not let me graduate this year. Came to Libbie and from there to . .
. came home… supper… sat on the doorstep awhile and then Libbie and Thomas went
home and I went over to Aunt Charlotte’s but . . . Father . . . come home.
Mr. Wilber will have a change of heart, and allow Serena to
graduate on Friday evening, June 25, 1852, at the end of this school year. She
will read her composition “The Mother’s Sacrifice upon the Altar of Fashion”
and also give the Valedictory Address (Alumna 1849:58)
