Friday Afternoon
Friday afternoon I went home with a friend after trying to stand on our hands and turn hand springs. He said he could throw me in an Indian wrestle. I told ^^ didn't know how, but I would try him if he would show me. We laid down on our backs with our feet toward each others head then we locked arms. We raised our legs, which were on the inside, three times. The third time we locked our legs and tried to throw each other over backward. The one who was thrown over was beaten. He beat me every time. We went in the backyard and uncovered some snow that we had covered with ashes to keep it from melting. We made snowballs and threw them at the boys going home from school.
