LLC Float Will Be "Johnny Appleseed" - Monday, September 30, 1963

We had an LLC meeting tonight to decide on our float theme. After much discussion, "Johnny Appleseed" finally won out. Now to get our idea carried through. We played the PCCs in speedball. In spite of a good game, we lost 8-0. Tomorrow I have a test in psychological statistics. I hope for the best. Thank heavens, we won't have any more quizzes this week in phys psych, but we will have an hourly next Monday. Nancy showed me some slide pictures that she took this summer tonight. With a relatively simple camera, they turned out very well. I'll have to try a roll of slides with my camera this fall.

Breakfast for the Lowells - Sunday, September 29, 1963

The Lucernes got up at 7:15 to get the Meetin' House ready for the surprise breakfast for the Lowells. It was really nice. We also ate dinner under the east balcony. Then we had a short float committee meeting. Nancy and I studied in front of the science hall and in Mackay until 3:00 when some of us went down to the Lowell-Lance softball game. We only lost by two points. We certainly gave them enough support! Tonight Wayne and I worked as one of the subcommittees on a float idea. We are going to suggest "Johnny Appleseed."

Saturday Night Woes - Saturday, September 28, 1963

I don't believe that I should feel sorry for myself. But I so easily could. I want Nancy to be happy - after all, she lost her mother and yet has managed to take it like a saint. So it is okay if she walked down to the river with George after the show. After all, last night on the hay ride I probably had more "fun" than Nancy who was sitting up front with Flo and Dr. Johnson. It is okay if Evelyn goes up to the projection room and I walk to the J.R. and back to the dorm alone. And Judy Cox (who broke her engagement to Dick...) was going to the second show alone. I was so glad to see Mary Jane McComas with Fred. I spent most of the day on yearbook work. Karen, Terry and I went to a yearbook workshop at North Kansas City High School for a while this afternoon.

Fun on a Hay Ride - Friday, September 27, 1963

Our LLC party at the Carey's and the hay ride ride were real nice. We had a good turnout, just enough to really fill up the hay rack. Lawrence from maintenance drove us out the river road for an hour's ride and back. Rog had his head in my lap the whole time, and on the way back I had George's tickling to contend with, so I had a ball. Margie was nice enough to take my place at the health center. The test in personality wasn't too bad, except for two questions I knew nothing about. Physiological psychology - quiz again today - at least Wednesday's I got some "very goods" along with my "3" points! And I live in Stephens (3 points, 2 points - how awful!!).  

Women's Judicial Council - Thursday, September 26, 1963

Evelyn and I (the "peoples") and Nancy (the Nebraskan) have been running around taking pictures and calling the kitty Herr House gave to Stephens. We can't find Cat tonight. Last night some of my funds were confiscated for the purchase of tuna for him. We've got the hay ride all lined up. The LLCs won a speedball game when the OACs had to forfeit. According to tonight's Stylus, I'm a newly appointed member of the Women's Judicial Council. Well, I must do well on my personality test tomorrow. It wasn't announced till yesterday when Dean Gibson didn't show up for class.

Dr. Johnson's Help with Hay Ride - Wednesday, September 25, 1963

Dr. Johnson is so nice. I was still trying to get a hold of a hay rack or a truck when I called him at noon to see if he remembered who it was that we borrowed the truck from last fall for the float. He offered to take me there tonight - but as it was we stopped at another place when Nancy and I went with him at 7:00. Mr. Miller was very helpful - we stopped to see another man who will give us his trailer if he can get it back from some Boy Scouts. Meanwhile Dr. Johnson is going to check with men at the feed store and post office before his first hour class tomorrow! I hate physiological psychology quizzes - - -.

A Watch is Not Ruined - Tuesday, September 24, 1963

Yesterday's dissertation was apparently unnecessary. My watch started running this morning and has been ever since. Mom sent the shoes I left at home, the Christmas cards I ordered this summer and some sesame chips. I got a letter, too, and my $10.00 allowance. Time sheets are due on the 25th this year, so that should last me till pay day. Nancy and I talked to George Fincke in the J.R. from 9:30 to 11:00. Half of that time he and I were shooting a gum wrapper back and forth. Nancy and I have managed to spend quite a bit of time in the J.R. this year. Dr. Gochman's resignation was two columns in the Des Moines Register (Associated Press).
