Park Plans New Student Union and Dorm by Fall of 1966 - Thursday, April 1, 1965

Evelyn took Jean and me to the Dari-Sweet in Riverside tonight in the new Volkswagen. We decided we owed such "running around" to ourselves. This morning in assembly President Mohler, Mr. Norrington and some of the architects presented plans for a new student union and dormitory to be completed by the fall of 1966. The college is applying for a $1,000,000 loan to finance construction. We all think perhaps spring finally "sprung" for good today. I really can't believe that I am in my last month as a student at Park College.

Small Gifts, a Thank You Note, Poems and a Letter - Wednesday, March 31, 1965

I just finished getting a haircut from Evelyn. It really needed it. In my mailbox today was the $8.00 Seth owed me, a note saying, "Thank you for the lovely evening," and a silver heart pendant engraved: a gift of love ()(). I wrote him a nice letter and gave him one of Oneita's poetry books and a poem I wrote as a sophomore. The commencement announcements arrived at the bookstore today. At the senior class meeting I made the suggestion for the class gift we plan to donate money for: a stereo or TV set for the new student union. I'm in charge of getting food from Commons for the class party.

Applied to Teach in North Kansas City School District - Tuesday, March 30, 1965

Tonight Mr. Carey had a review session for written comps. Then I got ambitious and wrote out an application and supplementary letter for the North Kansas City School District. I have become impatient waiting for R-5 to call me in for an interview. I certainly hope I hear from one or the other soon. I'd like to know my position by commencement. I guess Dee and I will teach most, if not all, of our referrals for the June remedial reading program. Evelyn has been in bed with the flu all day. Phyllis sent a letter to Seth so I passed it on to him via his mailbox.

Reflection on a Year as the President of Stephens - Monday, March 29, 1965

Nancy Rohlfing will be the new president of Stephens. She should make a good one. Winnie Fleming will be vice president; Diane Calvert will be secretary; Carol Dotts, treasurer; Kathy Amayo and Rita Hoover, house council members. So I'm free of another responsibility. It has been quite a year. I'm going to miss being president of Stephens. I made some mistakes, but the experience has taught me a lot. It didn't take long to "get over" Seth - I suppose that's unfortunate considering how much I meant to him. I got a B+ on the Family test.

It is Time Again for Another Guy in Life to go His Way - Sunday, March 28, 1965

I don't know how long it has been that I have just sat and read continually - all afternoon and evening with the exception of a half hour out for supper. Of course, Seth kept crossing my mind. We smiled at each other as I walked out of Commons at noon. Being defiant, I suppose, he had gone to dinner in his jacket and Terry had apparently not let him through the line. They were sitting and talking. However, it is time again for another guy in my life to go his way and me mine.

Tonight Seth Said Goodbye for the Last Time - Saturday, March 27, 1965

I feel terrible. Seth just said goodbye for the last time. I'm ashamed of the way I treated him tonight, but I just felt as if our relationship shouldn't continue. Given a few years, Seth should be quite a man. He said the nicest things just before he left. In my heart I feel the same way. I'm depressed and bewildered. Probably if I'd not chosen to walk through Mackay the night of February 2 some of the "storm and stress" in two individuals' lives never would have occurred. He thinks so much of me, and I was selfish. We went to the House of Toy on the Plaza with Vivien and Charlie tonight.

Began Not Feeling Well While in the Observatory - Friday, March 26, 1965

Seth brought me back at 10:00 since I started not feeling well up at the observatory after we went to the Park Singers show. It's a good thing I came back when I did. I was just now sick to my stomach. I suppose I picked up some of the flu that has been going around - I wonder how long my system has been fighting it off. I didn't think the Family test was that bad - but that's what I thought last time when I got a C+. No social psych class and Holly didn't come, so I enjoyed my half free afternoon for once.
