Skipping Music Class Causes Me to Feel More Collegiate - Wednesday, March 28, 1962

I'm getting more collegiate every day. I skipped my first class all year today. We didn't have to go to music appreciation unless we had questions about the Baroque so I decided I'd go to work early this lovely spring day. We haven't had very big French assignments since we started the new book. It's so nice. I should have gone to the Meetin' House tonight to hear an editor of  Presbyterian Life. Oh well, I'll hear him tomorrow.  

Basketball, Questions for the President and Nighttime Conversation - Tuesday, March 27, 1962

It was I who recruited enough girls to play basketball tonight. We really got our teamwork going and came out with 13 points against the OACs' 30 or so. I ran the clock and Regina kept score for the LLC-OAC boys game which they also won. The president came over tonight to talk to the freshmen about questions we had. I wonder how soon Vivien and Regina will quit rattling so I can sleep. Such a nice day again.

Nickel Surprises Hawley With a Very Nice Outdoor Party - Monday, March 26, 1962

Nickel surprised Hawley tonight with a very nice party. Good old Nickel, nonetheless. We cooked hot dogs over the outdoor fireplace and danced on the patio. They forgot to bring Dammit [their dog] along. The paper didn't turn up. I asked Carolyn today and she said he did ask for me, so at least it's not quite as remote. I've had a crack on the bottom of my toe bothering all day. The tests I got back today gave me a mid-term B in French and  a C in anatomy.

A Confusing Phone Call About Typing a Paper - Sunday, March 25, 1962

I think I may have goofed. I had a call on the pay phone tonight, the first line of the conversation being, "Do you know anyone who could type a paper?" He said he'd send it with someone from Waids [restaurant] who could leave it at Hawley. I don't remember the name (from Park Hill) and I bet he doesn't know mine unless he happened to see my bid sometime!?!?? The LLCs lost to the ACCs. I made two of our three points. We went swimming afterwards and then Regina taught me how to bowl. We had an excellent sermon this morning.  

A Group of Us Get the Canoe Trip at the WUS Auction - Saturday, March 24, 1962

WUS was really a ball. We got our canoe trip - Judy X., Marge, Nancy, Linda Keith, Flo, Judy Cox and I - for $55.00. It will be sponsored by Dr. Radloff and Dr. Gaeddert. The auction was still going at 1:00 and had cleared over $1000.00. I caught the ACC greased pig and won a plastic pig bank. At the steak dinner Marge and I sat with the Gaedderts. They are such a nice family. Poor Mackay's chimes have been off the beam tonight. The LLC general store was real nice.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" Was a Good Show About New York - March 23, 1962

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" was a good show, especially the yellow cat that looked exactly like our family's old Tarzan. Now I don't need to go to New York. We got a pretty good view of Broadway and Central Park. I got the round robin that I had to start up again after something happened to the last one. About the French test, uh! Gee, these fast weeks. They go by like - . College really is one big ball. I wouldn't trade a college education for anything.

Removing Frog Muscles and Recording Contractions - Thursday, March 22, 1962

I now must spend two good hours studying for my French test. I want to make an A on this one. I finished work in time to play the last half of the LLC-LEC basketball game. We lost 36-5! I played guard. Why do I always have to be on the losing basketball team? In lab we removed the gastrocnemieus muscle of a frog leg and recorded the contractions on a kymograph. We started from scratch, including the live frogs. I did the wheelbarrow the length of the gym! I've really improved some of my muscles anyway.
