~ 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.

Talked With Dean Gibson and Dean Pai - Thursday, April 9, 1964

I've devoted so much time to algebra now and still can't do it, so I don't think it would pay to get up early. I'll just hand it in late to Gary since he's good about taking late homework. Nancy and I went over to Herr House at 11:00 to give Margie a party for her birthday, along with Beth, Roberta and Kathy. Judy Cox was in on it, too, but couldn't go. Evelyn said Fred was elected to Nickel. That does about the most of anything to make me reconsider whether it was a mistake to give him up - but I'm sure it's best. I must be after "prestige." I had a 45 minute talk with Dean Gibson and Dean Pai about WJC and then we talked about retaining Stephens.
