A Group of Us Get the Canoe Trip at the WUS Auction - Saturday, March 24, 1962

WUS was really a ball. We got our canoe trip - Judy X., Marge, Nancy, Linda Keith, Flo, Judy Cox and I - for $55.00. It will be sponsored by Dr. Radloff and Dr. Gaeddert. The auction was still going at 1:00 and had cleared over $1000.00. I caught the ACC greased pig and won a plastic pig bank. At the steak dinner Marge and I sat with the Gaedderts. They are such a nice family. Poor Mackay's chimes have been off the beam tonight. The LLC general store was real nice.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" Was a Good Show About New York - March 23, 1962

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" was a good show, especially the yellow cat that looked exactly like our family's old Tarzan. Now I don't need to go to New York. We got a pretty good view of Broadway and Central Park. I got the round robin that I had to start up again after something happened to the last one. About the French test, uh! Gee, these fast weeks. They go by like - . College really is one big ball. I wouldn't trade a college education for anything.

Removing Frog Muscles and Recording Contractions - Thursday, March 22, 1962

I now must spend two good hours studying for my French test. I want to make an A on this one. I finished work in time to play the last half of the LLC-LEC basketball game. We lost 36-5! I played guard. Why do I always have to be on the losing basketball team? In lab we removed the gastrocnemieus muscle of a frog leg and recorded the contractions on a kymograph. We started from scratch, including the live frogs. I did the wheelbarrow the length of the gym! I've really improved some of my muscles anyway.

A WUS Bid to Type 20 Pages for Another Student - Wednesday, March 21, 1962

French took a long time. I did it first and then wrote my letter home. I put up a bid for WUS that says: "Have Typewriter, Will Type One Paper (Limit 20 Pages) - Typing time must include weekend or five days prior to paper deadline. Experience includes typing an M.A. thesis." Marge and I thought about putting up a bid for two guys to go kite flying at Alfalfa Point. Then we were sort of reconsidering and some of the other girls stole our idea. That's the way it goes I guess. I'm changing the magazine rack labels in the library.

Rain, a Pizza, a Smorgasbord and an Anatomy Lab Grade - Tuesday, March 20, 1962

It rained all day - it seems like half of our most beautiful days are followed by plain rainy days. Marge and I made my pizza tonight instead of going to supper. Vivien and Regina (Marge said Regina invited herself) went to a smorgasbord with Charlie and his father so we didn't have to worry much about sharing it with anyone. I have a C+ (two points from a B and 17 points from an A) for anatomy lab mid-term.

Dr. Hauptmann and Mr. Mitchell Answer Questions in Debate Form - Monday, March 19, 1962

Was this ever a beautiful day. It really went right to the heart. It got up as high as 77 and was 66 at supper time. Tonight Dr. Hauptmann and Mr. Mitchell answered political and social questions in debate form in Alumni. It was very interesting to listen to them. I'd have courses under both of them if I'd taken political science and anthropology. We're on the last lesson in our French book. I took five pictures outside before music class. The LLCs had a basketball game which they lost. I can't play in the 4:00 games because of work. Dean White said I don't have to stay for next Saturday's world lit class.

Arts and Culture Movie "Bridge to the Sun" Was Good - Sunday, March 18, 1962

I just made my date bars and am waiting for them to cool so we can eat them. I did French this afternoon. Tonight I hope my anatomy sinks in for the test tomorrow. The arts and culture movie, "Bridge to the Sun," was real good. There was such a nice spring evening feel out after the movie. The white fluffy clouds were against the gray sky and it had just rained. This would have been a good day or weekend to go out to the pasture at home. Gee, two weeks till my first college spring vacation.
