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

25 Friday (146-220)
Easter Law Sittings end

Did shorthand for 1 1/2 hours and also helped with the housework. Before tiffin I got ready to go fetch Nora; that was about 12 o'clock. Brought back in time for tiffin.
We went onto the beach for tea and came back for early supper because daddy, Nora and I are going to see "Hit the Deck" We had good seats for the show and it was very good and quite the best we've seen while in Southbourne. It was 11 PM before we left the theater and and just in time to catch the last train. Today has been certainly full and very enjoyable too.
