Red and White Striped Blouse Causes "Double Takes" - Saturday, April 14, 1962

I don't think I've ever had as many comments on a single new item of clothing as I did on my long red and white striped blouse that I wore over my red Bermudas today. It just covered my shorts (which could be seen at the slits or when I was obliged to show that I did have something underneath!) so it caused quite a few "double takes!" I bought a pair of beautiful blue slacks for $4.50 (originally $12.95) from Donna Marshall. Marge has a vest of the exact same material and it makes a darling outfit. For all we know, they may have belonged together originally in Chicago! Judy, Carolyn and I didn't get to the egg hunt on time after our ride didn't come and we had trouble finding "East 6th Street!"

Confusing "Sanctus From a Mass" and "Fa Una Canzona" on Music Test - Friday, April 13, 1962

Mr. Larson's going to think I'm a good one when he sees my music test. I identified the first "known" as "Sanctus From a Mass" when it was actually "Fa Una Canzona." Other than that I may not have done too badly. I went to see "Come September" with Carolyn Frobig tonight. We finally got our anatomy tests back. I got an 84. Judy Percival just came in to ask me to help with a faculty children's Easter egg hunt tomorrow afternoon in Parkville. Sounds fun!

Sticking to a Study Schedule Tonight, Humor in the Gym Today - Thursday, April 12, 1962

I feel so proud of myself. I've stuck rather well today to a none too easy schedule - I have to give myself till 1:00 tonight to read about the Baroque period in my music book. It's 12:00 and I just finished my three anatomy experiments right on schedule. I listened to a little more music in the chapel tonight. We had an LLC-LEC game this afternoon. I guess we got eight points this time. That game was a riot. I had a nosebleed that took up the official time-out length, and two incidents bowled over every player on the floor laughing!

We Had 12:00 Hours Tonight Since There Are No Classes Tomorrow - Wednesday, April 11, 1962

No classes tomorrow because of Graduate Record Examinations for the seniors. We had 12:00 hours tonight. Ooh, I didn't do any homework tonight. Oh well, I guess a person should take it easy occasionally. I did accomplish some constructive things, vespers, French Circle, and finished typing Paul's paper. I'll get 75 cents for it. Dear Miss Hampl went into the "Men Only" section of the dorm tonight at French Circle. The three boys sat in the lounge crossing their fingers!

We Have a Planning Meeting About Our Canoe Trip - Tuesday, April 10, 1962

We just had a meeting - the seven of us who are taking the canoe trip. We think we'll go May 5 - if our sponsors   agree. Judy Jones and I listened to music records tonight. It was very amusing to to hear the different guys who came in talk about it. I actually made it half away across the ladder in apparatus class. I've been acting sort of crazy today - I guess I have spring fever. Nobody seems to object. We had a pop bottle quartet, marched, danced, played with the snake, had a duel, yakked like nuts, sang, laughed, etc. And I've had a sore throat all day.

Back in the Swing of Things, Late Hours for Watching Academy Awards - Monday, April 9, 1962

My job about wore me out today. I had all of last week's magazines to check in. There's still a big stack of old ones to put on the stacks. We stepped right back in to the swing of things today. I gave my talk on three of the muscles for anatomy class. We discussed Baroque music in class. We hadn't been having regular class meetings but had been studying on our own. Paul Heyden called me up tonight and wanted me to type a paper for him. This call didn't turn out to be as far-fetched as that other one! We have late hours for watching the Academy Awards tonight. I never have watched much of them.

We've Been Arriving Back on Campus All Day - Sunday, April 8, 1962

We've been arriving back on campus all day. I was the first one back to Hawley. Pat Frost and Judy X had been here all week. My train was right on time, but if I had waited till tomorrow it probably wouldn't have been. I didn't notice Fred Kieslar two seats in front of me till just before we got to KC. We split the price of a taxi to Park. I went down to Parkville Presbyterian Church this morning. Mom Hawkins had "fits" over my rubber snake. It's currently on Judy Percival's pillow - she hates snakes with a passion. Gloria Brown and Judy Lacefield dumped me in a third floor shower tonight.
