Going to Woodward's Open House - Sunday, October 14, 1962

This was another beautiful day and it still continues to be hot. This afternoon I read history - part of the time with Vivien and Becky on the bench by Mackay and the rest of the time in the history room. I had never thought abouut using the Mackay rooms to study in, but kids do it all the time. Tonight I went to chapel and then with Margie, Becky and Joy to the Woodward open house. I'm glad we finally got to see it after missing their open house in the bad weather last winter. It's such a nice old dorm off by itself over there in the woods. It must have been quite a hotel in its day. The day has finally come when: boys are my friends!

21 New Members of the LLCs - Saturday, October 13, 1962

The LLCs got 21 new members. We were so pleased. The new members will really be good for the club - eight of them are girls. Margie, Flo and I were "runners" for the girls. By the time we ran from Commons to Hawley, down to campus, and then on the snake dance we were about pooped. "Green and white, fight, fight!" against "L.L.C.!" Then we walked up to Dr. Johnson's house for games and a barbeque. It was a good afternoon. I got another B+ on my history quiz - now I only have to get an A from Urban. Gee, maybe I'll get an A in each course yet - wish those could be final grades!

Drive-In With Chris and Her Ohio Relatives - Friday, October 12, 1962

Tonight Joy Matthews and I went with Chris, her mother, aunt and grandmother to the 9:00 show, "Errand Boy" with Jerry Lewis. They came out from Ohio to visit Chris for the weekend. Chris drove tonight and we drove out to the 45-71 junction and back after the show. I have just washed my hair. I think I'll stay up and read my psychology. It's bad when 80 kids in the class have to share one reserve book each week. He did get a few supplementary ones out though. Word is that the LLCs are getting quite a few members. We've really been having some hot Indian summer weather.

Chairman of the LLC Harvest Festival Float - Thursday, October 11, 1962

Tonight I was elected chairman of the LLC Harvest Festival float building committee, or actually of "the float" since I don't have a specific committee. But Bob, Kathy and Gloria will be working right with me and we already have a "nucleus" formed. I got good letters from Mom and Phyl today. They are moved in to town now, Miss Asby got infectious hepatitis and all of West Chester School had to get shots, Mom's cousin whom she has never seen is coming to visit. Phyl's letter was funny - except for the fact that Rusty Parcell was badly hurt in football. Jim had a real nice "Hello-o" for me when I said, "Hi, Jim," by the Mackay mailboxes.

Dr. Patton Defines Faith - Wednesday, October 10, 1962

These cuckoo freshman girls are making "wee-wee-wee" noises - the likes of which I've never heard. To think we were like this last year. Gee, I should have been a counselor and then I'd been being paid for living in Hawley. I went to vespers tonight. Dr. Patton, the new man in the religion department, spoke. He's fabulous - what we need here. At the discussion here afterwards I helped serve the coffee and cookies and cleaned up afterwards. He defined faith as 1) "assent to," 2) "emotion to," 3) "knowledge of," 4) "will to," 5) "action (as in life itself)." This type of thing must be kept going. I had my yearbook picture taken and proofread this afternoon.

Bought a Park College Jacket on Sale for $1.50 - Tuesday, October 9, 1962

I have been reading history and psychology in the library and now have to finish history. Maybe I can get back to more reading again and try to get caught up on all of it. We also have to do outside reading in French. I guess I'll read "Le Petit Chose" which I bought last summer. I bought a Park College jacket on sale in the bookstore for $1.50. It was originally $11.90. It does have a spot of some sort on it. I may see if the cleaners can take it out. Our modern dance didn't go so well (Edna had us change it at the last minute and there were other complications), but she still gave us a C.

Interview With Architect Ends With Phone Call - Monday, October 8, 1962

This afternoon after French I went to the public relations office to see if Mrs. Young had any news. I ended up interviewing a visiting library architect in the dean's office. The dean left him with me - then the president called to have him go to the soccer game with him, thus ending our chat! Interesting, this reporting job. I spent an hour at the game (we beat KCU 7-0) and then helped the LLCs serve the OAC dinner. Tonight Edna, Theresa and I practiced for modern dance - we finally decided to use "Good Night, Ladies." It had to be a song. I'm sacrificing a lot living in Hawley. We should be living with upperclass girls, not freshmen.
