Slept late, until 8.00. I had a bowel movement because of the stool softener I had taken.

After breakfast went to the Medical Office to consult them about my constipation problem and I had a long wait. Eventually Judy Ijames, the nurse, saw me. She gave me a pill to clean me out and told me to come in for green papaya every day, to report back tomorrow.

Washed a big load of clothes.

Went to lunch.

Observed the second period class taught by Jann and Barbara; afterwards, critiqued it with Jann.

While we were talking Jim got a report of an intruder on the property (I think behind the Radio Hut). He called Security Units into action. Jim called for all the little children to be brought into the central section. He took charge in the effort against the intruder who apparently retreated into the bush.

In the English meeting at 3.00 we talked about fulfilling Jim’s agricultural requirements. I requested a determination of my teaching responsibilities. I am to take a class of low-achievers from Jann and Shirley’s basic groups and work with them first period. 12.00 to 12.45. Some high ability students have been released from English classes to work on research projects with resource personnel and I am to supervise them. We will start an adult language arts project by my writing an announcement for Jim to read on the public speaking system. Instructing adults to meet me at a specified time so that I can survey their abilities and needs.  The plan is for the class to meet at 7.00 to 8.00 on two or three evenings a week.

Jim reported on successful surgery performed on the female dog by Dr. Schacht and helpers.

Ate dinner.

Diane Lundquist went to Steering Committee which she (as a supervisor) has to attend. She is now in charge of the toddlers. Pat Grunnett is teaching in elementary school, a group of  ________________.

I worked for some time on journal entries in my bunk.

Went to bed at 11.00.
