Went with Seth, Vivien and Charlie to Antoine's - Friday, February 26, 1965

Seth and I walked around campus and through Parkville, then went to see the Alfred Hitchcock movie, Vertigo. We met Vivien and Charlie coming out so they invited us to go along with them to Antoine's for pizza. Vivien and Charlie are a lot of fun to be with, and we'll be doubling with them tomorrow night - that's been planned most of the week. I feel as if Seth is having to spend a lot of money "on me," but I guess guys are used to as much. Holly came for reading again and I got paid this time. I should be pretty well set by the time I get my education department pay, too.

Hawley Girls Conducted Simultaneous Door Slam - Thursday, February 25, 1965

It seems incredible that tomorrow could be Friday again already. Seth met me at the library at 8:30. Later, back at the dorm, we witnessed this year's rendition of an old Hawley tradition - the annual simultaneous door slam. They weren't too synchronised in their efforts. Then they came running through Stephens entrance in their snakedance. Mrs. Hufford called to say Holly didn't feel very well so they wouldn't come again today. I typed my paper on Teaching Machines for developmental psych this morning.

The Park Singers Had a Good Show in Alumni - Wednesday, February 24, 1965

I went with Seth to the Park Singers show in Alumni tonight. It was good. After french fries and Cokes in the J.R., I came back for a 10:00 house meeting. We've planned our Stephens dinner for March 7 and a party for the freshmen for March 16. Huffords weren't able to make it today. Mrs. Hufford called at 4:40 to say they couldn't get the car started. I sent my red brocade dress to Phyllis. She wants it for a dance. I didn't want to walk all the way to Parkville to mail it so took a chance that fifteen cents postage will be enough.

Dr. Pai Liked Philosophy of Education Paper - Tuesday, February 23, 1965

It snowed - the deep and drifting kind that causes schools - except for Park College - to close. I didn't have any classes since Mrs. Gibson couldn't get here for developmental psych class. This has been a neat day - first of all, the snow was relaxing. I talked to Dr. Frizzle and Dr. Radloff on the phone about their concept of the mind (for philosophy of education). Dr. Pai implied that I am a stronger - as opposed to a weaker - student. He liked my last philosophy paper. I went to the library with and then watched a TV program about Leonardo da Vinci with Seth. Maybe we, too, can be "da Vincis"!

Had Pie and Ice Cream for Washington's Birthday - Monday, February 22, 1965

The freshman girls invited us down for pie and ice cream for George's Birthday. We even sang Happy Birthday to him. The student council meeting lasted till 8:30 - then I met Seth in the J.R. We watched TV over malts. The maintenance department cooperated in enabling me to "take the responsibility for" getting our hair dryer fixed--today--after the hood came loose from the stand. It's about time we saw some quick action from them. The house council members have been getting the parts of our new constitution together.

We Gave a Family of Four a Tour of the Observatory - Sunday, February 21, 1965

I don't suppose I accomplished as much as I maybe should have this weekend, but then, according to Dr. Patton, only half of one's college living is supposed to come from books. After supper Seth took me up to the observatory to see the sunset. We gave a family of four (the mother had been at Park in the '40s) a tour of the observatory since they were up that way. Tonight we studied at the library. I read more philosophy, as I also did this afternoon.

Saw Ranger 8 Moon Shot Photos with Seth and Charlie - Saturday, February 20, 1965

Tonight I went to the basketball game with Seth (McKendree beat us in our last game of the season), and then we went to the double feature, Godzilla vs. The Thing and The Brass Bottle. Both were about equally stupid and funny. I certainly enjoyed being able to share the experience of seeing the first views of the Ranger 8 moon shot pictures with Seth and Charlie Armentrout in the J.R. They'll probably be involved with similar research themselves in the future. Seth saw a cloud spread out from the area of impact through the telescope this morning.

Went for Walk, Talked on Bench with Seth Tonight - Friday, February 19, 1965

Seth called me this evening to see if I'd like to go for a walk and, of course, I did. We walked down past the soccer fields and back through Parkville, then sat on the bench in front of Mackay and talked. It is a nice night. I'm glad to have the interest in astronomy and space that I do. Maybe I could say that Seth and I "talk space" as Nic and I used to "talk shop." Evelyn would say that Fred and I "talked weather" - I'll say we "talked studies" (another "s"). Mr. Wetherill said I could do a sociometric study, for my project, dealing with an elementary school classroom.

A Nice American Society of University Women Tea - Thursday, February 18, 1965

Margaret, Leslie and I from Stephens and a number of other senior girls went to a tea sponsored by the American Society of University Women, Parkville Branch, at the Presbyterian Church tonight. It was very nice. Dr. Bergman from the English Language Institute showed slides of India. This afternoon I took the news release for our remedial reading program to Miss Anderson. With a few minor changes, maybe we will be on our way to a summer program during June. I sent a letter to Phyllis, went to my mailbox, and there was one from her. Seth called me last night to ask if I'd like to go to a party at Bob and Sally Lastick's Saturday evening.

We Went Over the Stephens Constitution - Wednesday, February 17, 1965

I ate supper with Seth, having not seen him since Monday noon. I wonder how long one goes without seeing someone on campus that you aren't particularly thinking about. I had a meeting with the house council tonight to go over parts of the constitution we are rewriting. By the time I wrote home (and made Phyllis a carbon copy), I didn't get much else done yet tonight. Dr. Pai wasn't there for philosophy class (he was having a tooth pulled), and Mr. Wetherill was attempting to grade papers through most of our social psych discussion. I got a B- on mine.

Park Will Drop Summer Term After This Summer - Tuesday, February 16, 1965

Today in assembly Dr. Hamilton announced that, after much consideration, the college has decided to drop the summer trimester after this summer and go back to the two semesters basis rather than have three trimesters a year. This is my luck after three years of putting up with the three trimesters plan. Some of the kids would like to see the 15-week fall and spring terms remain instead of going back to 18-week terms. I feel at least partly due the credit for getting Terry Osuga to run for WJC chairman and Winnie for vice president of the student council. Dr. Meyer talked with me today. He said Dr. Pai had said he could come to hear me give my report on Russian education.

Saw Seth's Slides of New York World's Fair - Monday, February 15, 1965

Evelyn and I got up at 6:15 - she to study history, and I got most of my paper written. I finished it just before time to go to class. I ate lunch with Seth and he had some slides of the New York World's Fair with him to show me. The student council meeting didn't last long tonight. I have been reading developmental psych. I've got to get busy and read, read, read in all of my courses. I also owe letters, and, as is so easy in times like these, I am just behind, period.
