Reading the Play "Orphee" - Monday, February 25, 1963

The poli sci test wasn't too bad but I probably should have done better. There were sure a lot of tests today. I got what little news there was to get. In French we have been reading the play Orphee that we are going to go see at the University of Kansas next Monday night. I finally got the part in Cocteau: Scandal and Parade read that we were supposed to, so now the play reading will be much easier. I'm slipping in my old 7:30 breakfast Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It's getting to be more like 7:40. But we never have very long lines any more like we sometimes used to. They've been working on remodeling the library all year. For what it's worth to whom it may concern, you know! Gosh, how odd my conglomeration is tonight!!

A Quaker Service in Apartment Basement - Sunday, February 24, 1963

I decided to sleep this afternoon, first time I've done that in ages. Because I did I was just waking up at 4:45 rather than already gone to Commons at 4:30 when Karen Haenisch called up to say to come downstairs because she had a surprise for me. Carolyn Frobig (Armstrong) was here so I got to see her for a few minutes before she and her husband left. They live by Sioux City.  He goes to Westmar College. The Quaker service that  25 of us went to was a lot like I thought it might be - in the basement of an apartment house. Three people were moved to speak in an hour.

Made Poster for Weekend Work Camp - Saturday, February 23, 1963

This afternoon I made a poster for Commons about the Kansas City Weekend Work Camp March 8-10. I'd like to go in, and Margy Romig and George Bruner are interested. It would be nice if we could get a group. Then I went to the library and read psych (while we weren't busy watching Copley's snowball fight - those guys climb up and down the outside stone walls - I guess that's Copley tradition though). It snowed a beautiful wet snow this morning. Carolyn Brown and I went down to Parkville. Tonight I saw the OAC show - four plays. There was a J. R. party (but kind of dead).

"The Place of Religion in the Public Schools" - Friday, February 22, 1963

Rats!! I got up at 5:00 this morning to read history since I figured we'd have a quiz. We did. I didn't get any credit for one of my two answers (4+ out of 5 for the other one) so I only got a D+. I almost would have been ahead to "forget it!" Tonight I went up to the health center to see the doctor. He thinks I should just let my twice per month period since September just work itself out. That's what Mom thought, too, but it's nice to know. I talked with Dr. Johnson about my religion term paper topic. We chose "The Place of Religion in the Public Schools."

Ed Psych Discussion Went Well - Thursday, February 21, 1963

This has been one of my more profitable Thursdays - class wise. In swimming we had a 20 minute endurance test - supposedly not stopping to rest. We handed in our cards in elementary phys ed and I signed up for March 12th to present a game from the file. Carolyn and I combined our ed psych     discussion with John and Karen's - I think Mr. Gibson liked the results. Tonight we had a "pie night" for George's Birthday tomorrow. Rev. Seamans had a note in my mailbox for Ann DuBois and me to take care of Hawley's WUS [World University Service] solicitation.

Went to Vespers and the Band Concert - Wednesday, February 20, 1963

Tonight I went to vespers (five there) and the band concert. I just finished retyping my games for elementary physical education. Now it's time to go to bed. Ed psych will have to come tomorrow. It's cold out again. Grr, I had a bad day in French and wasn't awake in history. I proofread this afternoon.

Was Asked About Being Yearbook Editor - Tuesday, February 19, 1963

Tonight I went to an SNEA panel discussion on "Discipline in the Classroom" and to a basketball game. We won - it's about time - only our third win all season. Today both Mrs. Dorsey (said she'd back me all the way as yearbook sponsor!) and Dean White asked me about my being interested in yearbook editorship. I'd like it better than the Stylus I think, but at any rate it looks like I might be editor of something! I was talking to Dean White about financial aid - doesn't look too hopeful again. She wishes Phyllis would have decided to come to Park rather than Tarkio. A Mrs. Hesselschwerdt of Kalona - who died - graduated from Park. Mom sent the clipping.
