Mar 29 Eugene was still home with the same routine plus an argyrol pack. His temp did not exceed 100°. I came home with four hours sick leave having an upset stomach and eyestrain.

Stayed home today as my eyestrain returned & Sylvia has a stuffed nose. Hoodlumism hit the schools with invasion of Evander and beating of a boy and a fist fight in Bronx Vocational H.S.
