ACT Test on Birthday - Saturday, November 5, 1960

I spent the morning of my 18th birthday taking the ACT College Entrance Test. It was "murder". I'm having my scores sent to Park, Sterling and Jamestown. This afternoon I got my hair set and eyebrows arched at Robertsons'. I've had some nice compliments on my (birthday) hair-do. I picked out a new skirt and two sweaters, and Phyllis and Viginia gave me a popular "Binky" doll and Ann gave me some nail clippers for my "long" finger nails.

Major Campaign Issues - Friday, November 4, 1960

I didn't even go to the last home game of my high school days--with Tipton. I'm going to bed so I can at least have a chance to do my best on the ACT College Entrance Test tomorrow, my 18th birthday. Phyllis and Virginia went. I sure wish we wouldn't have lost to Regina! I started typing my paper on presidential candidates' positions on major campaign issues.

School Election - Thursday, November 3, 1960

A year ago this Thursday night we were giving Down to Earth, our junior class play. It would have been about time for our only major "goof". Then I had the class party afterwards. It was my 17th birthday. The government class conducted the school election today. I acted as "judge" third period and gave out ballots.The sun finally shown again today.

$10.00 Missing - Wednesday, November 2, 1960

Tonight we had choir practice so I didn't get much else done. I did take my French along. Phyl's purse was found in the restroom, but the $10.00 was missing. We've always been  told never to take money to school. I keep my purse with me over there. I'm so afraid Kennedy's going to win the election. That would be as bad as losing the football game to Regina.

Purse Is Missing -Tuesday, November 1, 1960

Phyllis and I went to town and did the washing after school. Mom was having teachers' conferences. I came home with some white things pink and some colored things partly bleached. Oh, murder! We get our 60 passenger bus to eliminate over crowding. Now we bring the basketball girls over! Stuffed! Phyllis has lost her purse (including $10.00) at school! I'm supposed to get my senior picture taken at 10:00 next Thursday.

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep - Monday, October 31, 1960

Halloween, Halloween, fun, fun, fun; goblins and witches, we run, run, run! I don't remember a worse Halloween, weather wise. And today was dress-up day. Ugh. Last night I had my windows open to cool my room off, now it's too cold! Some of my circles under my eyes are gone! Sleep, sleep, sleep! I'm going to bed in fairly good time again. It's contagious (sleep)!

Catching Up on Sleep - Sunday, October 30, 1960

We went to the restaurant in Keota for dinner. I rested all afternoon and was asleep while they were doing chores. I'm going to bed before 7:30 now--I've got to catch up on some sleep. Jim Orr came to borrow my college guide tonight for a Hawaiian boy at Coe. It has been such a rainy, dreary day. I wouldn't feel like studying if I did have to, and I do!?!
