Hunter Family Diary 1928

This blog contains the 1928 Diary of my mother, Iris Hunter and her sister Nora Hunter. At the time of it's writing, they were attending Bournemouth High School, a boarding school for girls in Bournemouth, England. It was their final year after which they would be returning to their home in Shanghai, China. Iris turned 17 in Feb of that year and her sister would be 16 in July. I've transcribed it as written along with any photos that were pasted into the diary. I've also added in a few photos

17 Friday (48-318)
Candlemas Fire Insurance ceases

Today is my birthday. We did not have the French Lecture this morning so we were able to have our English paper and Hygeine paper in the morning. At one o'clock I received a birthday letter from Dorothy saying that they were going to send me a record. By the evening post I received a very nice letter from Mr Payton. I got a box of lovely brown initial note paper and a pound of chocolate from Nora. I'm seventeen today and on the seventeenth, so I ought to have a lucky year, which I am sure of now because Daddy will be here soon. Joy!!!!
