Nine of Us Attend Universal Day of Prayer for Students Service - Sunday, February 18, 1962

Today's studying time was spent in preparation for tomorrow's anatomy test. It was cold today. At 6:00 this morning Marge and I went to the Universal Day of Prayer for Students service in the chapel. Only about nine showed up. I wrote a letter to Phyllis. Jim spoke to me at supper - concerning the "hopeless" ketchup bottles. I hadn't even realized he was standing beside me. I played Hearts on the new round card table in the lounge with Marge, Judy and Carolyn.

President Finds Us Peeking at Dancing - Saturday, February 17, 1962

I got my photo reprints and a letter from Pat in the mail. The reprints are the best so far from the three companies I've tried. I wrote another  round robin letter to send to Mary Ellen. Vivien and I went down to peek through the lounge door window at the dancing tonight and who should catch us in the act but the president of the college! Quite a few of us didn't go to the party. I did French at the library this afternoon while Marge read her anthropology. Flo trimmed my hair some tonight.

Chimes Have Been Playing Park's "Alma Mater" - Friday, February 16, 1962

This has been a fast week. Here it is another weekend so soon and I must study, study, study. Some of us went swimming tonight. It was colder again today. The chimes have been playing more often recently. We've even had Park's "Alma Mater" played. Vivien is practicing some of her apparatus class exercises. I should do them, too. I thought about asking Jim Peeke to the Valentine dance tomorrow night but for some reason I didn't. Maybe by the St. Patrick's Day dance I'll have more nerve.

Lowell-Lucerne Club Initiation was Held Tonight - Thursday, February 15, 1962

After chapel I went downtown to see if my pictures were back. They were. I entered two of the black and white  snow scenes along with the colored pictures of the chapel and our room in the public affairs office contest for view book pictures. Dr. Hill [last semester's speech professor] drove me back up to campus. The LLCs initiation was tonight. It was a very impressive ceremony. We had to kneel before the table and repeat our oath. Then we signed our names with all the other Parkites who have belonged to Lowells or Lucernes.

Sarita Penick Shows Her Slides of Paris - Wednesday, February 14, 1962

Today I ambitiously got up at 5:30 just long enough to find out that the orbital trip had been postponed again, attended all my classes (I've never missed one yet), wrote my letter home, worked from 2:00 to 5:15 and studied on the job, got dressed up for supper (dress-up night), went to "Le Cercle Francais" in Copley lounge to see Sarita Penick's slides of Paris, and did my usual laborious French assignment.Now the reward of each day: sleep!

Mom's Letter from Home Says They are Selling the Milk Cows - Tuesday, February 13, 1962

Dearing has issued Hawley an invitation to watch Astronaut Glenn go around the world if he goes in the morning. The last I heard it is 50-50 that he is going. It was getting cooler today after our third nice day. I got my letter from home today - a day early. They are selling the milk cows. That is going to seem strange - all those milking chores we've done for years. I only got an 81 on my anatomy term test. I knew I hadn't done very well, but at least I got an A on my French test. I'm doing all right so far in the anatomy lab.

Five of Us Have Cake and Fruit Cocktail with Merry Lee - Monday, February 12, 1962

Here I've spent all evening doing French. This year it's French that demands all my time, last year, chemistry and the year before, geometry. I wish I had time to think over what I've learned some time. How will I ever get everything done in later years of college! I do think there's something to the fact that the busier you are the more you can do. Merry Lee treated five us to cake and fruit cocktail tonight. This  was another wonderful day. Mary Ellen wrote saying she'd never gotten the round robin. I know I mailed it way back in November.
