Sleeping All Morning, Shopping This Afternoon, Chores This Evening - Saturday, March 31, 1962

I slept all morning (but not until after Phyllis brought me up some Swiss cheese at 4:45). This afternoon we went to town. I had quite a spring shopping spree - green and white plaid suit, aqua dress (they had to undress the window dummy) red and white striped long "twist" blouse, white pleated skirt and tan hopsack tennis shoes. Ann and I went out to do the eggs and get the buckets ready. Grandma and Grandpa are on a trip to Ohio and Virginia. Chores are simple without the cows.

Home Again and We Are Our Usual Laughing Family of Six - Friday, March 30, 1962

(Written Saturday morning) - Home again. The train was just an hour late again. I went in to the station with Liz Ralston, her mother and her grandfather. The anatomy test wasn't too hard. We're our usual laughing family of six again. It doesn't seem possible that I was in Kansas City such a short time ago. An Oskaloosa girl who goes to Central College in MacPherson, Kansas also got off the train at Fairfield.

Religion in Life: John Fry, Presbyterian Life Editor - Thursday, March 29, 1962

One thing for sure, we are certainly taking spring vacation more matter-of-factly than we did Christmas vacation. It doesn't seem possible that it's here. I remember how far away it looked on the year's calendar of events. John Fry, an associate editor of Presbyterian Life, is on campus for Religion and Life Week. He had a good discussion in the lounge tonight and a good assembly speech. I got $33.60 for March through the 26th. Another rainy day following a beautiful one. It's happened at least three times. Now anatomy test preparation.

Skipping Music Class Causes Me to Feel More Collegiate - Wednesday, March 28, 1962

I'm getting more collegiate every day. I skipped my first class all year today. We didn't have to go to music appreciation unless we had questions about the Baroque so I decided I'd go to work early this lovely spring day. We haven't had very big French assignments since we started the new book. It's so nice. I should have gone to the Meetin' House tonight to hear an editor of  Presbyterian Life. Oh well, I'll hear him tomorrow.  

Basketball, Questions for the President and Nighttime Conversation - Tuesday, March 27, 1962

It was I who recruited enough girls to play basketball tonight. We really got our teamwork going and came out with 13 points against the OACs' 30 or so. I ran the clock and Regina kept score for the LLC-OAC boys game which they also won. The president came over tonight to talk to the freshmen about questions we had. I wonder how soon Vivien and Regina will quit rattling so I can sleep. Such a nice day again.

Nickel Surprises Hawley With a Very Nice Outdoor Party - Monday, March 26, 1962

Nickel surprised Hawley tonight with a very nice party. Good old Nickel, nonetheless. We cooked hot dogs over the outdoor fireplace and danced on the patio. They forgot to bring Dammit [their dog] along. The paper didn't turn up. I asked Carolyn today and she said he did ask for me, so at least it's not quite as remote. I've had a crack on the bottom of my toe bothering all day. The tests I got back today gave me a mid-term B in French and  a C in anatomy.

A Confusing Phone Call About Typing a Paper - Sunday, March 25, 1962

I think I may have goofed. I had a call on the pay phone tonight, the first line of the conversation being, "Do you know anyone who could type a paper?" He said he'd send it with someone from Waids [restaurant] who could leave it at Hawley. I don't remember the name (from Park Hill) and I bet he doesn't know mine unless he happened to see my bid sometime!?!?? The LLCs lost to the ACCs. I made two of our three points. We went swimming afterwards and then Regina taught me how to bowl. We had an excellent sermon this morning.
