There is a story regarding mumps and body. Many papers discuss boys and dating and some clippings and writing reflect body image issues. In her school papers she has numerous writings and debates, one in particular reflecting her feelings that Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin "over idealizes the negro in making him noble in character than the white people themselves" and that she exaggerated the plight of slaves to induce southern sympathies. There is a story about a male friend drinking and a woman who did not appreciate his drunkeness.
