Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The diary of Lois Eileen Kelley primarily describes her social life, dating, and student life at Fontbonne College. Also includes several accounts of attending events at Washington University and socializing with friends who are Washington University students. In the front of the diary is a card announcing the marriage of Lois Eileen Kelley and Russell Vincent Ellinger on March 30, 1940. The diary entries are written in a preprinted five-year diary that includes one page for each day of the year. The first entries in the diary were recorded in August 1936. The dates of the entries in the diary do not correspond with the dates at the top of the preprinted pages. At the end of the diary entry summaries in this finding aid, the date(s) at the top of the preprinted diary have been provided at the end of each summary to facilitate locating a particular entry in the diary.
