~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.

Gave Most of Report on Facing Mt Kenya - Monday, April 6, 1964

We had a WJC meeting this evening about another library case. Dean Gibson seems to be overstepping judicial council jurisdiction since she already has her mind made up that there will be a penalty in all five cases of having to work 12 hours at the library. An election of junior class officers was being held today. I shouldn't be like this, but I felt rather slighted not being a candidate for anything. I gave most of my oral report on Facing Mt Kenya today in geography class. I'll have to give my conclusion on Wednesday. I went to an algebra review session. We have another test tomorrow.
