~ 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.

Topic of Conversation in the J.R. was Iowans - Monday, September 28, 1964

Bonnie and I studied music in the education library after I got out of the student council meeting. Terry Brown and I were on one of our favorite topics - Iowans - in the J.R. tonight. I was thinking about John Ramirez when in he walked. Bryan Peeke is on campus, too. Miss Dyer was pleased with my reading and Indian outlines. She said not to worry about the fact that I find it hard for them to follow directions for written assignments - she has the same trouble. I'd like to petition Congress for a 34-hour day!
