A WUS Bid to Type 20 Pages for Another Student - Wednesday, March 21, 1962

French took a long time. I did it first and then wrote my letter home. I put up a bid for WUS that says: "Have Typewriter, Will Type One Paper (Limit 20 Pages) - Typing time must include weekend or five days prior to paper deadline. Experience includes typing an M.A. thesis." Marge and I thought about putting up a bid for two guys to go kite flying at Alfalfa Point. Then we were sort of reconsidering and some of the other girls stole our idea. That's the way it goes I guess. I'm changing the magazine rack labels in the library.

Rain, a Pizza, a Smorgasbord and an Anatomy Lab Grade - Tuesday, March 20, 1962

It rained all day - it seems like half of our most beautiful days are followed by plain rainy days. Marge and I made my pizza tonight instead of going to supper. Vivien and Regina (Marge said Regina invited herself) went to a smorgasbord with Charlie and his father so we didn't have to worry much about sharing it with anyone. I have a C+ (two points from a B and 17 points from an A) for anatomy lab mid-term.

Dr. Hauptmann and Mr. Mitchell Answer Questions in Debate Form - Monday, March 19, 1962

Was this ever a beautiful day. It really went right to the heart. It got up as high as 77 and was 66 at supper time. Tonight Dr. Hauptmann and Mr. Mitchell answered political and social questions in debate form in Alumni. It was very interesting to listen to them. I'd have courses under both of them if I'd taken political science and anthropology. We're on the last lesson in our French book. I took five pictures outside before music class. The LLCs had a basketball game which they lost. I can't play in the 4:00 games because of work. Dean White said I don't have to stay for next Saturday's world lit class.

Arts and Culture Movie "Bridge to the Sun" Was Good - Sunday, March 18, 1962

I just made my date bars and am waiting for them to cool so we can eat them. I did French this afternoon. Tonight I hope my anatomy sinks in for the test tomorrow. The arts and culture movie, "Bridge to the Sun," was real good. There was such a nice spring evening feel out after the movie. The white fluffy clouds were against the gray sky and it had just rained. This would have been a good day or weekend to go out to the pasture at home. Gee, two weeks till my first college spring vacation.

The St. Patrick's Day House Party Tonight Was Fabulous - Saturday, March 17, 1962

The house party was simply fabulous. Roger was so nice. He brought me a corsage. It was a green colored orchid. He didn't need to do that. At present a few of us on the clean-up committee are in the midst of putting things back in order. Our rainbow out in front looked real nice as did the lounge decorations. I spent all day with house party preparations - as did almost everyone. Oh, it was all so sharp. I'm really glad I asked someone, especially a boy as nice as Roger.

Dr. Hilty's Play, a Party and Practicing Apparatus Stunts - Friday, March 16, 1962

Tonight I went to see Dr. Hilty's play, "Indian Campground," with Bonnie, Judy Jones and Patty. It was so good. I really liked it. It took place in a Missouri farm house and the theme evolved around some love letters written shortly after the Civil War. Then we went to the LLC St. Patrick's Day - Lowell volleyball victory party at the Meetin' House. It was real nice. This morning I got a hold of the spotlight for tomorrow night from Maintenance. After supper Viv and I did apparatus stunts on mattresses in the hall. I learned to do the dive -over two people, too.

Acting Silly Rather Than Studying - Thursday, March 15, 1962

The dorm just had a "Cape Canaveral" type "countdown" using the phone on each floor to coordinate it and on the final count and phone ring everyone slammed their doors. They had done it just on second last year and Mom Hawkins' pen went flying across her paper. This year she dropped a cup! The practical anatomy test on the bones had a few tricky ones that I got mixed up. Today was UN Model Assembly Day for high school students. I'm pooped - we just snake danced through the dorm and then put the counselors in the showers. I'm almost weak!
