Journal

The first of four journals for 1946 covers January 1 to March 7 and is written in “The Spiral Note Book.” Lundquist goes to Webster’s basketball practices and their sectional and conference tournaments and also describes skating, reading, and movies watched. After returning to State College, he registers for the winter quarter and receives his fall quarter grades, all A’s except for a B in Phys Ed. Winter quarter classes include Chemistry, Trigonometry, English, Military, Engineering Shop, Engineering Drawing, and Orientation. He notes that his instructor for the Military class is a sergeant who formerly served in China. He continues to work for Mrs. Swanson, earning part of his board. He attends State basketball games, including traveling to the University of South Dakota for a game. Lundquist also plays intramural basketball on the engineers’ team, maintaining a perfect losing record. He is selected to be on the reorganized R.O.T.C. rifle team and is elected as secretary/treasurer. Lundquist acquires a new roommate, Irwin Manley, a veteran, after LeRoy Ellig receives a draft notice. He participates in the Engineers’ Assembly program, performing a skit in which he plays the female engineering student. He notes lectures attended, including one on Far Eastern affairs and another by a former member of the German Reichstag who had served on the prosecution staff at the Nurenberg trials. He continues to do well academically. He spends a few days in the Brookings hospital for a leg infection. At the end of the journal, he includes an account of his expenses.
