Inventing entertainments
In our leisure hours, we invented entertainments. We’d gather in on another’s rooms and talk and listen to music and watch Peggy Smith do the hula. What a talent! One afternoon Ruth Ann DeBeer taught me how to play Scrabble, a new game then which is still my favorite. Some people played bridge, but I avoided learning the game, for I could see how it ate up precious time. I can’t remember that anyone watched television except maybe the George Gobel show.

Locked out after babysitting
Forgetting to sign-out for a babysitting job and coming home to find the dorm locked up tight and dark.

Kleinschmidt’s shoe rule
Having Ms. Kleinschmidt bark at us for not wiping our shoes on the mat when we came in. I still do it conscientiously. After all, what’s a college education for?

Hearing my neighbor’s radio
Hearing songs on the radio (either Mary Bergen’s or Bonnie Oxton’s) in the next room, like “Que Sera Sera” sung by Doris Day and “It’s Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom Time” sung by Nat King Cole.
