Ed Psych Discussion Went Well - Thursday, February 21, 1963

This has been one of my more profitable Thursdays - class wise. In swimming we had a 20 minute endurance test - supposedly not stopping to rest. We handed in our cards in elementary phys ed and I signed up for March 12th to present a game from the file. Carolyn and I combined our ed psych     discussion with John and Karen's - I think Mr. Gibson liked the results. Tonight we had a "pie night" for George's Birthday tomorrow. Rev. Seamans had a note in my mailbox for Ann DuBois and me to take care of Hawley's WUS [World University Service] solicitation.

Went to Vespers and the Band Concert - Wednesday, February 20, 1963

Tonight I went to vespers (five there) and the band concert. I just finished retyping my games for elementary physical education. Now it's time to go to bed. Ed psych will have to come tomorrow. It's cold out again. Grr, I had a bad day in French and wasn't awake in history. I proofread this afternoon.

Was Asked About Being Yearbook Editor - Tuesday, February 19, 1963

Tonight I went to an SNEA panel discussion on "Discipline in the Classroom" and to a basketball game. We won - it's about time - only our third win all season. Today both Mrs. Dorsey (said she'd back me all the way as yearbook sponsor!) and Dean White asked me about my being interested in yearbook editorship. I'd like it better than the Stylus I think, but at any rate it looks like I might be editor of something! I was talking to Dean White about financial aid - doesn't look too hopeful again. She wishes Phyllis would have decided to come to Park rather than Tarkio. A Mrs. Hesselschwerdt of Kalona - who died - graduated from Park. Mom sent the clipping.

Was Asked About Being Stylus Editor - Monday, February 18, 1963

Oh dear, when I think of everything I have to have done by two months from tomorrow, I shudder. I guess we're just exactly halfway in between Christmas vacation and summer vacation. My roommate is being given "the treatment" while she takes her bath. Hope I can get a shower taken unobtrusively. Stylus news was as usual. I was talking to Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Radloff about the Stylus. Dr. Radloff asked me, "Why don't you take over as editor next year?" Maybe I will!!

Heard Folk Singers Addiss and Crofut - Sunday, February 17, 1963

I'm getting drowsy. I guess maybe if I can finish getting history read, I'll go to bed. The jazz concert was pretty good. Addiss and Crofut, two folk singers on the program, have performed for Adlai Stevenson and U.N. delegates. They had a cute song built around the theme, "On the first day we met, Mr. Kruschev said to me..." Jim was playing basketball so was late and then he had forgotten the tickets, but we finally got there on time to get the last two good seats in the house. After that it would have been the front row, the back row or the steps. Grandma sent me a Valentine care package of cookies yesterday.

Basketball at University of Kansas City - Saturday, February 16, 1963

Some of us went with the basketball team to the University of Kansas City tonight. We lost by about 20 points. Cheryl Wiley and I went with Hal Henderson, Jim Peeke and Will Stewart. Another time that one element probably would have put me on Cloud 9, but not tonight for some reason. I don't think it's just because I may finally have other interests, but I think I may have outlived my crush on Jim Peeke. Jim Trett came down to the gym this morning to watch me play Leslie in badminton (I lost). He and I and Margie and John Olson played for an hour after lunch. I typed elementary games this afternoon.

Dr. Urban's Annual "Cross of Gold" Speech - Friday, February 15, 1963

The religion test was rather easy. I'm anxious to see how I did on it. Dr. Urban gave his interpretation of William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech. I guess he does it every year. It was a riot. "You shall not press down the crown of thorns upon the brow of labor or crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!" I washed my hair and slept this afternoon. I had a nice time with Jim tonight. He's a swell guy. I'd better get to bed. I have a badminton match at 8:30.
