~ 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.

Am Ready to Teach the Class All Day Tomorrow - Monday, November 16, 1964

We had a student council meeting tonight. Then I took Evelyn home so she could get the cupcakes for Kay's birthday and we had the party tonight. Even though I'm going to teach all day tomorrow I've done all there is to do and have finished sooner than usual. I won't have time for a lot of the Indian unit tomorrow, so since we'll just finish what we had for today, I didn't have any worksheets to make. Then my reading plans were done sooner than usual, too. I didn't get my bulletin board up since the rain kept the class in for recess and phys ed.
