Dear Ruth, I am sorry I have not written before but I am really busy this year at school.  It seems as though I never have a study period and if I do I have something to study.&#13;
   All of my classes require a good deal of reading.  I am taking Physics, English Lit., Civics and Public School Music.  </text>
