~ 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.

Ten Women Accepted Stephens Membership - Tuesday, April 7, 1964

We had a fairly successful student council meeting tonight. I at least had my say this time, as I did Sunday night. If all goes according to council suggestion, we will have our two days of classes off at Thanksgiving next year. Our group in organization and administration is working to finish our proposals for our school district project. We juniors have been listening to all the seniors' experiences with oral comps. They sound sort of fun. Kathy Amayo, Sara Moore, Pat Thompson, Bev Reece, Carol Sapilek, Jean Burright, Leslie Innes, Nancy Rohlfing, Winnie Flemming, and Kathy Fitzpatrick accepted Stephens membership.
