~ 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.

The Indian Unit Test Results are Quite Good - Wednesday, October 28, 1964

The third graders did so well with their tom-toms that I was amazed. They are ready to finish putting the designs on them on Friday. The Indian unit test results are quite good, I think. Three missed none; half missed six or less; Connie must not have understood it, as she missed 28 of 31; Sherry only missed two; and David just five. Miracles never cease. Mr. Fike discussed teacher applications and certifications at the SNEA meeting - very worthwhile.
