Found Poetry Anthology in Library - Monday, February 3, 1964

Oops - time is getting away again. It's about this algebra. I hate to get up early again. I wish I weren't so hungry. I should have eaten some of the cookies we fixed for Fred and Jim. It's the first time we've used the oven in two weeks since it's been on the blink. We had a test in teaching of arithmetic. I don't think I did too badly. I found a poetry anthology in the library. I'm glad because they're scarce and our reviews are due Friday. I forgot to mention before that Margie's parents were here during the weekend. It was nice to see her mother again.

Attended Voice and Piano Recitals - Sunday, February 2, 1964

Time is getting away from me again. However, I slept till 10:15 this morning, so I guess it won't hurt me to get up at 5:00. I wish I could have seen the LLC-ACC game this afternoon but I was scheduling yearbook pictures. They beat us 60 some to 40 some. Fred scored 30 points. He and I went to the OAC pancake supper tonight. This afternoon Evelyn and I went to Mrs. Lippincott's voice and Janet Reeve's piano recitals and the reception afterwards. In the mix-up of birthdays for which Stephens gives parties, we're still mixed up, in spite of the fact that Pat's was given by Liz after Nancy planned to.

Fred's 20th Birthday was Today - Saturday, February 1, 1964

Fred said, "thank you for a nice birthday." He was 20 today. It was a beautiful day. He liked the books, Spirits Rebellious and The Voice of the Master by Kahlil Gilbran. He and I watched the Lowell-Orion basketball game this afternoon. The LLCs lost by six points. Then I stayed a while to watch him practice with the ACCs. We saw the show, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" but it wasn't very good. Then we went to Herr House for a birthday party. Karon had made cupcakes and served tea and black walnut ice cream. Karen and I discussed the yearbook again this morning.

Park Beat Calvary Baptist 106-45 - Friday, January 31, 1964

I got off work fairly early so was able to see most of the basketball game with Fred. We beat Calvary Baptist College 106-45. It was exciting to see Park pass the 100 mark in a game. Then we came back to the lounge. Maybe my memory works overtime, but sometimes Fred either doesn't listen to what I say or doesn't always remember. Oh, men! I just finished wrapping his birthday present. I like the tan card with a dog photo and the brown "For Him" paper I found at Jack's. I got a 78 on the algebra test - about average. On our children's lit book reviews I received 24 points, high being 25.

Olympics Skating Championships - Thursday, January 30, 1964

I went to three meetings tonight so consequently I haven't accomplished a lot else. Fred had my watch in his pocket while I was at the meetings so I couldn't keep track of time. Consequently, I lost an hour's time somewhere by the time he left at 10:30. We went to the J. R. for Cokes since he was thirsty after the ACC - Woodward basketball game that they lost 44-43. We watched the Olympics figure skating championships. The meetings were the fundraising committee with club presidents, Interclub Council and Women's Forum. I put up yearbook signs and duplicated notices this morning and went to the library this afternoon.

Mom Has Dating Daughters - Wednesday, January 29, 1964

Fred said he wouldn't come up tonight since he's studying for a heritage test and I am for an algebra test. However, since I got back from the library I've spent just as much time getting ready for bed as I would have spent with Fred. But I guess I won't have to do it later. I've still got a ways to go for the test, but I shouldn't have too much trouble with it. Hope not, anyway. Mom gave some "advice" to Phyllis in her letter about how to deal with Don and said a good rule to follow was not to become officially engaged to anyone before her junior year. She said Fred sounded very nice. Dear Mom finally has some dating daughters.

A Child's Garden of Verses - Tuesday, January 28, 1964

Evelyn and I went down to Parkville this afternoon. I returned the library books and checked out Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses (about time I read that). We also got some popcorn for a dorm birthday party, soup and gingerbread mix for the guys, and I picked out a card and gift wrap for Fred. Fred writes well. He had a heritage review paper here tonight. It was excellent (sounded like a finished research paper). I went to an algebra review session tonight. I wish Dave Portzer, our student grader, would take over for Miss Konkle and teach the class all the time.
