Quotes for the Yearbook - Saturday, September 14, 1963

Well, Hell Week is over for another year. I went to Frosh Court with John Baker after Dave called to tell me he was in the infirmary. After I got the date with John, David Mills (I don't know him) called, also saying Dave was in the infirmary, and could he take me...! Evelyn got back this evening after 24 hours at home trying to get rid of her cold. Karen and I looked for quotes for possible yearbook use in the library this morning. Evelyn and I went to "Ride the High Country" tonight. Then I went with Flo to the J. R. party. She and I and Tom took Becky some refreshments.

A Date For Frosh Court - Friday, September 13, 1963

A few of us bright-eyed souls in Stephens got up at 4:00 this morning to watch the freshmen girls come past. However, we heard the firecrackers go off at Copley, decided we had missed them and went back to bed. David Rumpf asked me to Frosh Court. That was this morning as I was sitting on the top of Copley steps waiting for the library to open. He was among those at the health center with colds tonight. We had a busy clinic - it's a nice job. I had a good letter from Phyl. Gee, she has a course load at Tarkio College: biology, basic math, Life of Christ, advanced comp, phys ed, speech and art apprec. Plus orientation classes which should give her 20 hours by Christmas!

Snakes in Our Basement - Thursday, September 12, 1963

We just had a real fun house meeting. These girls are a riot. We laughed, laughed, laughed. Hell Week began tonight with the traditional entry of the goon squad into Upper Commons. One and two years go by in a hurry. I seem to have lost my personality notebook. At least it only had two lectures in it, and not a whole trimester's work or something. We're supposed to write on the history of psychology tomorrow in class. I hope by then -----. We have snakes in our basement - they even had Dr. Hamilton over today to catch some. We're all scared half to death. Tonight we caught Salt and Accent and are waiting for Pepper.

An Upperclass Hell Week Assembly - Wednesday, September 11, 1963

We had an upper class Hell Week assembly this afternoon. It sounds as if it should be pretty good this year. The boys will have to wear suits and good shoes with no socks and the girls heels without hose to class. If someone wants them to, they'll have to go back and change to their regular "Hell Week" attire in between. We had a meeting of "those interested in canoeing" tonight. Flo and Miss Konkle more or less instigated the planning. Quite a few of us plan to take the trip nine of us did my freshman year, if we can get adequate transportation to the Platte River and enough canoes, on Sunday, the 21st.

Talking With Mrs. Flaherty - Tuesday, September 10, 1963

Evelyn and I have just spent an hour at the J.R. talking and eating ice cream and Coke floats. We didn't even worry about not doing homework. I really should feel free to do that more often. We had a Lucerne meeting tonight. We plan to have a surprise breakfast for the Lowells on Sunday, the 21st. I'm enjoying my courses now that I hope to have my schedule finally decided. I went up to the health center this afternoon and put in "two hours" of work by talking to Mrs. Flaherty. Rick Campbell came up later for his janitor job, and one of the maintenance men brought some meat and stayed for coffee and to talk.

Was in French Literature for a Day - Monday, September 9, 1963

Well, I was a student in French Literature, the Age of Louis XIV, for a day. I signed up for the course and dropped The Family, but I got to thinking that I'd have to work just as hard in it as I would have in philosophy, so I think I'll take physiological psychology. That way I'll at least be applying my energies toward my intended minor. I can feel the relief already - the French course would be rough, especially since almost everyone in the course has had Dr. Frizzle before. I hope he doesn't think I'm hopeless when I go back to drop it. Besides, it would take too much time away from my major and minor subjects.

LLC Party at Hawley Lake - Sunday, September 8, 1963

The snake dance and sign-up parties were this afternoon. I was a runner again for Hawley, along with Nancy and Becky. We got about 15 first choice members, nine second choice, and three or four each third and fourth choice members. We had our party at Hawley Lake. Some of us really braved the bogs, underbrush, weeds and wildwood to get there, while others rode. Rog, Bruce and I made a trip to the Red-X for charcoal, ice and pop (it was a riot shopping with them) and another trip to Parkville, including, both times, a trip back to campus. Otherwise I boated (it had one oar) - we also had a canoe - and got acquainted with our new members.
