Serenading New Students with the LLCs Social Club - Wednesday, February 7, 1962

I can see myself dead from homework! I mustn't let my French slide. I've just got to get at that Lafayette booklet - I've got two chapters to go, plus finding out what it's saying before our test Friday. I think the 11:00 class will be better. Tonight Marge and I got our first taste of the LLCs by serenading the new students with them. They're sure a nice bunch. I wish I would have joined them in the first place. I've been on the go all day as usual. I don't waste much time any more. I'm so stiff from phys ed.

Free Exercises, Rope Jumping in Apparatus; Diffusion, Osmosis in Anatomy - Tuesday, February 6, 1962

This has been a busy day. I found out that Dr. Hampl would like for me to change to the 11:00 French class - I jumped at the chance. No more first hour classes every day. In apparatus we did free exercises, rope jumping, checking for balance and so forth. We did diffusion and osmosis experiments in anatomy lab (I had to hurry there from phys ed). It was just like good old high school chemistry lab. Marge and I both made recollections. I've been doing homework in every spare minute. Kathy, Becky and I were having quite a time after supper with some of the foreign students from Persia, Lebanon and Japan.  

Second Floor Girls Have Maintained a 2.0 Average - Monday, February 5, 1962

We were given 10:00 extended hours tonight by Dean White. Eight freshman girls made the Dean's List and six of them are from second floor. We have a good 2.0 floor average. [Park graded on a scale where 3.0 was the top (A) grade.] I'm getting tired of French. We're going pretty fast and I can't let it slide. This week they're having the Rush Week club suppers for the new students. I've handed in my request to change social clubs. I want to join the LLCs with my free change. It was colder today.

Falling Springs Will Be a Fond Memory of Park - Sunday, February 4, 1962

Falling Springs will always be one of my fond memories of Park College. On this beautiful Sunday afternoon ten of us girls walked up to Alfalfa Point and on over to the springs. The water was really rushing over the falls today. Bob Lastick with his bow and arrows and John McQuade with his guitar came over after we got there. They had seen us on our way over. Terry Wang and Ken Ruth came down, too. It was almost too gorgeous a day to study. We had blankets on Hawley's front lawn for a while and did a little studying out there.

A Fabulous, Beautiful Day in Kansas City and at Park - Saturday, February 3, 1962

This afternoon Marge and I went in to Kansas City from 1:00 to 4:00. I bought a tan purse and matching shoestring belt. This was truly a fabulous day - 65 beautiful degrees or more. Trench coats were plenty - you could go without a coat if you wanted to. Marge and I went over to sit on Mackay steps tonight and watched the sunset and listened to the chimes.

Groundhog's Shadow, Magazine Stacks and Gone With the Wind - Friday, February 2, 1962

The groundhog had a beautiful day today. I'm afraid he saw his shadow, although it was cloudy at first this morning. Gee, February 2nd already. I'm starving, but I'd just as soon sleep as eat. Barb Page and I went to see Gone With the Wind tonight. I got more out of it the second time. I got quite a lot done at the library. I even got back to my straightening and dusting of the magazine stacks.

Almost Locked in the Library - Thursday, February 1, 1962

I'm really going to be busy this semester even if I just have 15 hours. They will amount to about what I had last semester. We didn't have lab this afternoon. I probably could have gone to work early this afternoon but decided not to confuse anyone by doing so. I about got locked in the library this evening. Patty Pence going out the front door and Miss Fishburn and Mr. Jones going out the back door all thought I was at the opposite door. President Morrill spoke at assembly this morning. He called it the "Survival Assembly."
