Went to "Elvis Presley - Roustabout" and to the Plaza III - Saturday, June 19, 1965

It's 1:00 and Insuk's sleeping so I set my hair in the dark, set my clock radio (turning off Moon River though I would have liked to listen to it) and came into an empty room to write. Linda Cleveland went with Tex and me to the campus show, "Elvis Presley - Roustabout," and was going to go with us to the Plaza III but changed her mind. We went though and had a nice evening. This afternoon I took Insuk and Yoko shopping at Antioch - they about "bought out" the center. Tex helped me wash my car over at Dearing this morning.

Saw From Russia with Love at Hillcrest Drive-In - Friday, June 18, 1965

Tex and I went to the Hillcrest drive-in out past Gladstone tonight. We thought we would see two James Bond movies, but they showed some other thing first, so we only stayed for From Russia with Love. We stopped at  Waid's on the way back. Tex is a nice conversationalist. This morning when I got to the top floor of Alumni I found furniture from the whole education department piled in the lounge where my group has remedial reading and more in the kitchen where Dee's group meets. I can't see how it could take that long to get things back in place after cleaning.  

Singing Brings Memories of Social Clubs Serenading - Thursday, June 17, 1965

This afternoon from 1:00 till 2:00 I visited with Carolyn Frobig Armstrong, her little girl, and girlfriend from Denver who saw my name on the room list when they stopped past the dorm. They live in Bethel Kansas. Then I wrapped Bonnie's Avon order to mail to her. I treated Insuk and Yoko at Hauber's after we mailed it. This evening I typed a paper for Joel. I helped Mom Hunt by buttering cinnamon toast for the hungry crowd at 10:00. There's a Presbyterian youth conference here this week. The girls' singing is coming over so clearly from Herr House. It brings back fond memories of social club serenades. The remedial reading kids dramatized their story today for Dee's group - more fun!

Looked Down from Window, Saw Boys Looking Up - Wednesday, June 16, 1965

Today I just did "little" things around here. I sunbathed, wrapped a copy of the book about Park College, College Pioneering, and mailed it to Daddy for Father's Day, called the Avon lady, and her daughter brought in Rita's, Bonnie's and my products over, and typed a three page letter home. It was so funny this morning when I stuck my head out through the restroom window (open about a foot) and looked down, only to see three boys looking looking up! I turned around only to see in the mirror the best example of embarrassment on my own face I've ever had occasion to see.

Car Had Flat Tire which Tex Changed and Said to Replace - Tuesday, June 15, 1965

This morning when I went out to get in my car, the left front tire was flatter than a pancake. It had been low for quite a while. Tex changed it for me and at lunch persuaded me that it wasn't worth fixing. So we went to NKC and bought a new one for $13.30 at a Goodyear tire sale. I checked over the phone about a few more apartments, but all three had been rented. The library's slowness in getting the Dispatch out adds to the difficulty. I persuaded Insuk, Ruth and Yoko to go to the J.R. tonight. Insuk needs to get away from her studying more.

Saw Apartments Near Oakwood Manor School - Monday, June 14, 1965

This afternoon I drove out toward the area of the school where I'll be teaching to look into the matter of a place to live. Most I didn't care for the looks of or location, one the manager wasn't there, one didn't have furnished apartments, and one I saw was $150 a month. Then I went to the NKC library and "arrived" there going the wrong way on a one-way street. As in the movies, there sat a police car in front of the library! The policeman was very nice to me - maybe it was my pleasing personality that caused him not to give me a ticket! I felt proud of the results of today's reading group.

Hawley and the MDCP had a Hamburger Fry Tonight - Sunday, June 13, 1965

Sandy Odo asked me this morning if I would help usher at church, so I did, along with her, Paul and Tex. Mrs. Hansmire had called me Friday about "looking after" a high school girl coming this afternoon to Room 313. She didn't come till tonight, when I had gone over to the library. What would Park College do if I suddenly said "No" when they asked me to do something? This afternoon I worked on posters for word discrimination. They'll be good to have for third grade. That reminds me, I got a letter from Mr. Fuller yesterday saying I'll now have 23 pupils this fall. Cleveland won one and lost one game today. Hawley and the MDCP (Military Degree Completion Program) had a hamburger fry tonight.
