MA 126: B02-F05 - Journal

The fifth journal for 1945 covers November 21 to December 31 and is written in “The Spiral Note Book.” Lundquist describes Thanksgiving spent at home in Webster and catching up with friends and family, a month of classes and activities at South Dakota State College, and Christmas vacation back in Webster. In Brookings he attends basketball games played by State and by Brookings High School teams, a magician’s program in the college auditorium, and a presentation of the Messiah by Handel. Other activities include shooting at the rifle range in the R.O.T.C. Armory, playing cards with Marjorie “Ike” Goldsmith, “the only girl taking engineering,” and attending a student recital in which Lois Ullman, ”the girl that works with us downstairs for Mrs. Swanson,” played the French horn and the piano. He studies for and takes his final exams, receiving a perfect score in the Engineering Drawing test. He rides the bus to Webster for Christmas vacation. He describes presents received, his sister Dot’s Sunday school program, and pastimes with friends and family, including basketball, volleyball, bowling, skating, spending time at the Bearcat Bowl youth recreation center, going to movies, and doing the Sunday crossword puzzle with his dad. He includes an account of income and expenses at the end of the journal.
