With an A on Art Notebook, Hoping for A in Art - Thursday, December 10, 1964

One final is out of the way. I'm hoping for (and I think should get) an A in art. She graded some of our notebooks while we took the test. I got an A on mine. The LLCs lost to the ACCs in basketball. We led at the half, 9-7. I made 7 points, all in the first half. We had a Stephens birthday party for Barb Page - it turned into a "complaint" session. Then Leslie's committee met to talk about our party for Nickel. Dr. Pai said Miss Dyer made no comment on my student teaching evaluation. I don't know how to feel about that.

Holly Came Again for Her Tutoring in Reading - Wednesday, December 9, 1964

It was nice to see Holly again today. They had called Monday to say she had a cold but I didn't get the message. I had a talk with Evelyn this afternoon. She was upset about her student teaching evaluation. (Miss Dyer hasn't returned mine yet.) Tonight I've been re-reading for our art test. I hope I can get enough read tomorrow so that I can do my best. I have my notebook finished except to get together my magazine pictures.

People Have Been Congregating in Our Lounge - Tuesday, December 8, 1964

We have most of the dorm's stuffed animals in "watching" our tree. And it's amazing how many people have been congregating in the lounge the last few nights. We're having to lock our lounge door at night - we don't want anyone to "steal" the tree! I've been typing up pages for my art notebook. If I can just make it through next Tuesday "with flying colors," I'll really be able to have a ball Wednesday and Thursday. I won't have any finals left except an oral music presentation with Evelyn.

Christmas Tree Looks Nice in Our Lounge Window - Monday, December 7, 1964

Stephens had their traditional Christmas party tonight. Mom Hawkins and the Hamiltons were the only ones who were able to come. We trimmed our little Christmas tree, which we have in our lounge window, and it looks very nice. I went out to Chinn this morning to talk to Holly's fifth grade teacher. Dr. Pai let me take his car. I don't know why, but the Huffords didn't make it again this afternoon. I missed my first student council meeting. Since I wanted to be here when our party began, I just didn't go.

Hawley Women Had Their Open House Tonight - Sunday, December 6, 1964

Hawley's open house was tonight. Most of the Stephens girls went. It has been a pretty lively night. I'm glad I didn't have a whole lot of studying to do. I got my final philosophy term paper typed after writing it this afternoon. It will take the place of a final in that class, so I hope I did alright on it. Tonight we had a Stephens birthday party for Terry and Margaret. The fourth floor freshmen were invited, but most of them weren't up from their party downstairs. Winnie's and my wooly slippers had a "dogfight," and we made Christmas tree decorations.

Took a Colored Film to Parkville for Developing - Saturday, December 5, 1964

This morning Evelyn and I went down to Parkville (quite a while since I've been down there). I took down my colored film, got some tissue paper (and used it for my torn paper art project this afternoon), 50 cents worth of trinkets for Margaret's Christmas package, and some Christmas stamps. This afternoon was spent stewing and talking about another Stephens problem. Chalk it up to the administration for not having a sponsored activity on campus last night. Tonight I began "formulating" my philosophy term paper.

Education Department Comps Have Been Changed - Friday, December 4, 1964

For some reason this just didn't seem like Friday. Holly's mother called to say she wouldn't be here again. We had the follow-up to Wednesday's movie with the sequence class. I was going to work this afternoon to make up the hour I lost at 11:00, but they were in the process of departmental oral comps so I didn't stay. They have now changed the education department comps procedure to four hours of hours of written and two of orals rather than six of written comps. Judy and I went down to the White House lounge to study tonight.
