APPLE DAY
Beautiful, bright and mild. Arose 6:15 A.M. Studied. Breakfast. Classes 9:30-11:30 A.M. Dinner with Steinkraus. Studied. Wrote letter to R.E.N. [Russell Norris]. To classes and chapel 2:15-4:45 P.M. Studied & talked. To bed 12 P.M. Thankful for privilege of prayer.

When I looked up Apple Day, there were several different days chosen for the celebration, October 21 being one of them. But I did find a little article in the August 1922 edition of the National Cooper's Journal, which was a professional journal for barrel makers. Naturally, they would have had a keen interest in the apple crop, especially at this time of year. The article refers to the man who founded National Apple Day and Apple Week, which started on Halloween. Below is the little piece:

I haven't been able to find out who Steinkraus is without a first name. Maybe later . . .?
Tomorrow's the big day! A party at Alex Stewart's house changed forever the lives of Stanford and Mary Leah (and all those who followed). Stay tuned . . .
