Nancy is IRC Representative - Thursday, February 7, 1963

We had an ed psych test tonight. Some of the kids left after the test so he let the rest of us go. It was nice to get an earlier start on homework for one Thursday night. I persuaded Nancy to go to the house meeting tonight - the sophomores haven't gone to a lot of them. She was elected interdorm council representative. Strange, I can't think of anything else to write - and procrastinating isn't getting history read. Carol didn't use my assembly attendance article. I heard several kids say, "Let's see how the assembly attendance was," so it is read! Mr. Reynolds stopped me to talk about the Stylus. He said he heard I had ambitions - editor type ambitions. The only person I ever mentioned even the possibility of that to was Carol Greene.

Socialized with Sinan in the J.R. - Wednesday, February 6, 1963

Pat Frost and I read proof tonight and Carol worked on layout. Then Pat bought me a Coke in the J. R. and we sat at John Van Horn, Sinan Kunt, and Robert Kindrick's table and talked mostly nonsensical, like, "Let's declare this National Hate All Turks Week," etc. That Sinan is one good guy - also about the smartest American History student and from Turkey at that. We had a WRA Council meeting at 4:45 and a rules meeting for individual sports at 5:00. We had a French test today. Dr. Hampl was back.

Studied on Blanket on the Front Lawn - Tuesday, February 5, 1963

I read history and political science in the library and was finished with both by 9:30. Now other things have kept me from getting back to summarizing the poli sci and studying for the French test tomorrow. Diane Porter was over to copy some of my French notes. The noise here caused her to ask me how I could stand it. Sometimes I wish I knew! I just blew my stack at my roommate in an argument stemming from Ed Staniec's kicking my ball away from me (all in fun!) in an elementary physical education game today. I should control my temper, but I've taken enough long enough. This was a beautiful day. I studied for a while on a blanket on the front lawn.

Dr. Hampl's Apartment for French Class - Monday, February 4, 1963

Dr. Hampl had our French class go out to her house a few miles out of Parkville for class this afternoon since she still wasn't well enough to come to school. She has a real nice apartment out by Melody Farms. My bad luck day - tipped over some Coke on my car coat when I laid it on the table for lunch and flunked my fist history quiz (didn't even do that last semester). Pat Frost is going to be a good reporter. She, George and I ought to really be able to swing things now - it's about time. A second February 4th in a row was a beautiful spring day. On that day last year some of us hiked to Falling Springs in Bermudas.

Lucerne Rose Tea Was This Afternoon - Sunday, February 3, 1963

Dee and I went down to Dyer's open house tonight. Tom Gale, Ron Bowman, Ron Knight, Bruce Scott, Randy Fehr and Bob Grinnell live there this year as "service" guys who run errands for the college. They have a nice layout. Their theme was the White House. I listened to the First Family comedy record which I hadn't heard all the way through yet. The Lucerne Rose Tea was this afternoon. It was very nice, except only one senior girl, Peggy Rabe, really showed up. It was interesting visiting with the faculty wives though. History is dull this time, but I guess I better get it read. We have a picture of Chestnut with our toilet seats that Kathy's taking reprint orders for.

"Persephone" by Philharmonic, Park Choir - Saturday, February 2, 1963

Goodness, this has been quite the (sunny) Groundhog's Day. I heard the Park College Choir perform Stravinsky's "Persephone" with the Kansas City Philharmonic, heard the Philharmonic's American Premier performance of Earle Brown's "Available Forms No. 1," Jim Hunter asked me to the ICC dance, and Vivien asked me to be a bridesmaid for her wedding next December. I guess that's to make up for another of my unlucky breaks - what Dr. Reynolds saw me buying in Busch's - after I walked all the way down to Parkville to get them [pads]. If I wrote that, I should also mention running into Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Boorstin a week ago Friday skipping one of the first assemblies I've ever skipped. Sometimes I can't win, but I certainly did today!!

Saw "Hatari," After Seeing Hatari Plane - Friday, February 1,1963

The movie "Hatari" was really good. We saw a Hatari plane parked at the Cleveland airport last summer. This afternoon, since Dr. Hampl wasn't there again today, I went in to Kansas City with Margie and Nancy. Since I bought some stuff at the bookstore and my Hell Week reprints and have to save $2.50 for "Persephone" tomorrow night, I didn't spend any more of the $10.00 check Mom sent yesterday. Some virus is going around. Karen Lewis had it first - they thought it was measles. Bob Young, who was in the health center, too, has it now, and Jim Hurst, who had been up to visit Margie, went up tonight with it! Here's wondering.
