Talked Briefly with College Bowl Team Members - Monday, February 8, 1965

I have seen all of the College Bowl team except Pete and talked briefly to Seth and Terry. Seth said he still had about 24 hours of sleep to catch up on. Terry said that Portland State had been prepared for a year as a standby team and went on last week after Lawrence became a five-time winner. Seeing the guys and Mr. Wetherill again seemed so strange after seeing them such a short time before on national TV from New York. It's hard to believe that it is all over so quickly after keeping February 7 in mind for so long. The education seminar had quite a time analyzing the social studies test I made.

We Are Proud of Park's College Bowl Team Despite Loss - Sunday, February 7, 1965

It's hard to believe that Park's participation in College Bowl is over. It was neat sitting in the Meetin' House and watching, even if Park didn't get any points until the end when Terry and Walt made 25 for us. The guys looked so composed even in spite of such a loss, and we are proud of them. Portland State was just too stiff for us. They should be flying back now. A group of kids plans to meet their plane at 2:00 AM. I think I was in the snake dance scene in the movie shown at intermission. I managed to finish my social studies test and philosophy paper, but my social psych paper will have to wait till Wednesday.

SUDC Carnival Tonight was a Lot of Fun - Saturday, February 6, 1965

Has this been a day and night, and a lot of fun, too. I worked this afternoon on the Stephens "telegram" booth for the Student Union Development Committee Carnival, and this evening helped with it and the SNEA bingo booth, and was an LLC sheriff. This afternoon Evelyn and I went to Parkville to buy prizes for the SNEA bingo booth. Four of the Stephens girls - Liz, Terry, Chris and Linda - baked the Stephens cakes today, and with a $5 bill in one as a "come on," they brought about $40. I met with Jeri Pitcher for remedial arithmetic this morning from 9:30-11:00.

Park's College Bowl Team Left with a Police Escort - Friday, February 5, 1965

This has been quite a day - "unreal" in ways. It was fun to see the College Bowl team gathering for their departure with a caravan of twelve cars plus a police escort. I guess they made quite a spectacle at the airport with their signs and singing "Hail, Hail Park College"! Park finally got around to publishing the Dean's List. [On a three point scale] my 2.846 average was second in the senior class (Vivien had another 3.000). It really is rather neat! It was kind of funny today when Kay and I were discussing the Nickel auction sign ("Life CAN Be Just!!") and turned around to find Dean Miller standing behind us.

Have Been Told by Seth to Stop Worrying and Relax - Thursday, February 4, 1965

Seth met me in the J.R. for a hamburger tonight. Then we walked up to the observatory to look at some of the equipment. He's one of the few Eastern kids I know who actually applied early to Park College (in September of his senior year). He's really a nice guy - he'll probably be famous some day (but then I may be, too!?!). I listened to Seth tell me to quit worrying and relax. I guess I have a perpetual problem. Evelyn's rushing in tonight and slamming Jim's picture into her top dresser drawer after a feud with him didn't do anything to ease my tension (she then went to the J.R. with me).

"Into Every Life Some Rain Must Fall" - Wednesday, February 3, 1965

I really feel badly about the letter Dean Hamilton sent to Stephens saying that the involvement of the five girls in the railroad incident was a reflection on our whole group. It's not as if I haven't been worrying about the "reflection" all year. It's a pity I have to be a worrier, I guess. To put it bluntly, I'm having a terrible time with myself; and I don't like to feel this way. I will have to blame it onto the weather, taking too much psychology, and so forth. As Evelyn said, quoting her mother, "Into every life some rain must fall."

Talked About College Bowl Preparations with Seth - Tuesday, February 2, 1965

Seth Gutman saw me in Mackay on my way back from the library tonight and walked me back to the dorm. I asked him in and we talked for a while. I hope I helped a little to "get his mind off the drudgery part of College Bowl" even though College Bowl was mostly what we talked about. The two teams competed in assembly again. Mr. Wetherill says he's now sure the team will be returning to New York after their first appearance. I got a black dress and kelly green two piece wool outfit that Mom ordered from Penneys. I went down to the English Language Institute this afternoon to get some information for I-20 forms from Dr. Bergman.
