~ 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.

We Hear From the Superintendent About Our Survey - Tuesday, November 24, 1964

I got up at 5:00 to work on my paper, stayed here and drank tea for breakfast, and finished at 10:00. My rough draft, by my nature, looks like a final draft. After all of our work on the survey, the superintendent said that the principals should meet with us to discuss the program first before they are distributed. I had thought Dr. Pai was getting over-anxious. They also think it probably should be on a referral basis, that a survey would bring in too many responses - which I had also been concerned about! Grrr!
