Went with Rosemary to Madrigal Concert - Wednesday, March 18, 1964

I went with Rosemary to the madrigal concert tonight. The LLCs played the PCCs in volleyball. We won one of the three games. The LLCs got the candy bars that we're selling for the student union fund-raising campaign. I sold two to Mr. Penniston who came to help us pick out the Narva cover tonight. Fred did an interesting job of ignoring me tonight in Commons after I had been playing basketball with him and Don Hinkle before our LLC-PCC game. Don brought his hand down on my glasses and bent them. Fred's ignoring me doesn't really bother me if he thinks it does, yet it is rather unnecessary, I'd say.

Elected Women's Judicial Council Chairman - Tuesday, March 17, 1964

I was elected Women's Judicial Council chairman in the election today. Kathy Rickard was my opponent. Chuck Girrard got the Men's Judicial Council chairmanship over Hans Van Naerssen. Gary Sorrell got the majority of the votes for student council president over Terry Scullin. There will have to be a run-off between Liz Ralston and Jim Hunter for vice president. Dr. Robert Nunley from KU gave two geography lectures today, and I also went to his folk singing session tonight in the Meetin' House. I spent most of today's spare minutes doing yesterday's algebra assignment. Phyllis sent her firsthand account of Tarkio's fire.

Mr. Gatton Was Our SNEA Speaker - Monday, March 16, 1964

I've just returned from a night of campaigning. No wonder presidential candidates become physically exhausted. Tomorrow will tell the outcome of my efforts. Mr. Gatton, Evelyn's dad, spoke on "Counseling and Discipline" at our SNEA meeting tonight. From 3:00 to 4:00 I helped Mr. DeCloud with Narva picture taking. It was so disappointing that only 28 showed up after he made a special trip back out here. I skipped government and the teaching of arithmetic classes but finally got my geography paper finished.

We Will Be Breaking Up - Sunday, March 15, 1964

Here I go again. It is late Sunday evening and I don't have my geography paper or algebra done. Sooner or later Fred and I will be breaking up. We've decided that we don't really have much in common. However, we've both learned a lot from going with each other. It seems strange not to feel bad about it, but I guess this is the best way rather than one or the other of us being hurt. Each of us was trying to make the other over, we're each something of an idealist and so forth. I do think I've profited from my first romance.

Boyfriend Troubles - Saturday, March 14, 1964

Fred and I almost came to the parting of our ways tonight. As he says, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," but I'm certainly not going to talk with Ellen and George sitting in the lounge. It was too cold to stay outside with just my light jacket on (he almost left me at the door when I didn't respond to his inquiry, "Is anything wrong?" I must be some kind of a hypocrite. I hope some day Fred learns a few things that will help him. The same goes for me. I went to Kansas City this afternoon. I finally picked out a light beige spring coat. I got some books (music and social studies for teachers) at a real savings.

Nickel's Dog, Dammit, Died Yesterday Evening - Friday, March 13, 1964

It's raining a nice, peaceful rain. It was so warm and still walking back from the health center tonight. It would have been nice to go for a walk with Fred. However, he didn't suggest it so we just sat in the lounge as usual. Maybe I should have been bold and suggested it. He does love to be contrary. Evelyn went up to see the doctor tonight and we had eight others. Kathy Webb has the mumps. Nickel's beloved dog, Dammit, died yesterday evening. They think he may have been poisoned. I tried running off copies of my platform this afternoon but couldn't get the duplicator to work so only did a few.

Gave WJC Chairman Campaign Speech - Thursday, March 12, 1964

This algebra. I've been working on it for I don't know how long and still have a few problems I'm not sure about. I've had quite a few comments on my campaign speech that I gave this morning in assembly, so I guess it was okay. I was the first to speak but that way I had it over with. It really wasn't bad at all - after all, these people are my friends. Shirley, Nancy and Kathy gave a shower for Jane in the lounge this afternoon. There weren't any classes because of pre-registration day. Some of us went to Mrs. Morrill's for Women's Forum tonight. Two League of Women Voters members were there.

Went to Kansas City and Saw "Tom Jones" - Wednesday, March 11, 1964

Some of the LLCs went to Kansas City tonight to see "Tom Jones," the movie that has ten Academy Awards nominations. We had enough going to take three cars. I went in the one driven by Paula Hansmier's brother. The paper said it started at 7:30 but it must have started at 7:00. This I found out from Shirley and Ted after we got back and they figured out we had missed a fourth of it. It was ridiculous that we didn't stay to see what we had missed. I must need my sleep. Mrs. Steelman and I worked on our area of our group project this afternoon. I made a poster for the ICC dance ticket sale and started numbering programs with a gadget from the library.

Finished Campaign Speech, Made Posters - Tuesday, March 10, 1964

I've got a headache from writing, typing and going strong. I wrote out my platform this afternoon and had it "approved" by Pat, Karon and Karen. I typed it tonight so George could have a copy for the Stylus. I also made two campaign posters. Someone already tore the notepad from the one that said "It's noteworthy ....." I thought I had done horribly on this morning's algebra quiz, but tonight at the algebra review session I found out that my 17 was one of the two second highest papers. I'm glad I went. Now I feel more confident toward Gary as the new student grader.
