Claire had her own shorthand. In this and future entries, she uses oo as shorthand for school.

January 25, 1909

OO [OO=School] in morning and in afternoon    cor. [Cornelia] and I went for a walk   we went over across the river and saw the cutest little colored boy   we stopped in at the Junior meeting at the church to see what it was like but “Bud” the dog got in and made a terrible commotion so C & I took him out and went home. In evening read “Lavender and Old Lace.”
