The Nice Thing About College is Having Everyone Smart - Thursday, March 3, 1962

Luckily for me Dr. Hampl won't be here tomorrow so I was able to spend all evening studying for the anatomy test tomorrow. We had an LLC meeting tonight. I had a terrible time getting through Dick and Dave's heads what a relish plate was. Today I followed my typical Tuesday-Thursday schedule including assembly, phys ed and lab. The nice thing about college is having everyone smart and no one look at you funny as if they're better than you (a lot of this may be just Park) - this type thing began last year at Mid-Prairie. Brad Kiesey won the Quill and Scroll national feature writing contest!

A Six or Twelve Hour Job as a Reporter For the Park Stylus Next Year - Wednesday, May 2, 1962

Tonight I went to vespers. Five other people besides the speaker (Doug Meng) were there. The music class did a "grand march" through the chapel today trying to figure out what Mr. Larson wanted us to do. We never did figure out how the whole class was supposed to listen to records in two little listening rooms. I can't get down to studying anatomy. Oh, I got my job as a reporter for the Stylus next year. I'll have to find out if it's a six or twelve hour job.

A "Happy May Day From 207" Basket For Our Counselor - Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Oh, where does the time go every night? I have done my French and a report for music and now it's 11:00 again already. I had better start studying anatomy. It was so pretty out at noon that I thought I'd  go out and take some pictures. By the time I got up here it was cloudy and at 1:00 it was pouring rain so we didn't go out for field hockey. We've had severe weather warnings near here several days. Vivien and I fixed Merry Lee a tiny little May basket that said "Happy May Day From 207."

Lowells Win Soccer Game, Everything is Summer Green - Monday, April 30, 1962

I guess I'll sleep in Margie's room tonight to give her some peace of mind since the prowler may be back. A few of us were down cheering for the Lowells tonight in the soccer game. We beat the Lances 3-2! I'm afraid Hal Henderson thought I was losing my mind cheering so loud. This was a cool rainy day. I think we had a week of spring and now everything is summer green. Oh, it's too beautiful for words.

Saw Chamber Concert and "The Last Bridge" - Sunday, April 29, 1962

I guess I took in every event listed on the Spring Festival program. This afternoon Margaret and I went to the fourth (summer) chamber orchestra concert. Then Judy, Bonnie and I went back to see the movie, "The Last Bridge." It was in German and the English words were printed on the bottom. At first it seemed strange but then you forgot you were even reading - it was a good movie. I sunbathed on the lawn for two hours. I got a little tan. Vivien stayed with Sarita Penick last night. Nancy Kelley and Ken Peterson got married yesterday.

A Dance Date With a High School Senior - Saturday, April 28, 1962

A lot has happened this Spring Festival day and night. After the Narva queen crowning (Cathy McWilliams), Barbara Walker (whom I have only known by face) came along and asked me if I'd like to go to the Spring Festival dance with her friend from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, who's coming to Park next year. I accepted and met him this evening - Jim Hunter. He's a real nice boy. He drove up to Park so had a car. We got the wrong country club (across the road), a real swank place (!), decided it wasn't ours, and met Jim Peeke and Linda Lehman and their double also coming to the wrong one. (Wish I'd have written more about J.P. since February. I think we still like each other - gosh, we both go to the dance with someone else --.) Nickel won the soccer game, and they had a scrumptious open house - their first in ten years.

Folk Singing With Professional Psaltery Player - Friday, April 27, 1962

Dearing's open house was tonight, followed by an Italian street dance. Before that was folk singing in the Meetin' House led by a man who is supposedly the only professional psaltery player in the world and his wife. After I got back from work and before supper Vivien and I went for a walk below Herr House and the hill above the river. It rained today and everything was so pretty. I slipped and rolled down the hill in front of Herr House.
