Dear Masako:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you.

Dearest Masako.

I'm glad you've asked me to write in your book, as I want you to always remember me.

I shall always remember you as one of my little second grade girls and as the first Japanese girl I have seen do a Japanese dance. When you leave, please write me.

Love,

Mrs. T.E. Dickerson

Dear Masako,

To a cute and talented girl, I wish the best of everything. I'll always remember you as you were on the stage, so in turn, "Forget me not is all I ask and may it be a simple task."

Always,

Mikiko Haga

My dear "big-eyed" Mako san,

It was wonderful to have met you, an excellent Japanese dancer, and a cute friend. The bright spot in you are your big bright eyes which are just like your oldest sister's.

Although I shall watch you grow into "Mako" a nice young lady, never change your sweet disposition and dancing, okay?

Wherever you may go I'll always wish you a bright future, happiness, success and the best of health.

Always with love,

Ayako Hosaka
