~ 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.

Will Invite Nine to Stephens when More were Qualified - Tuesday, March 23, 1965

The vote for new Stephens members was long and drawn out because so many were qualified. We finally decided to vote for only nine for numerous reasons. Those to be asked are Diane Calvert, Ruth Millett, Jayne Humbert, Rita Hoover, Terri Osuga, Paula Hansmire, Trudy Henderson, Rosa Smith and Marthanne Gravis. I'm afraid there are going to be some hurt feelings among those equally well qualified who didn't make it. Mrs. McDaniel came up to talk to the house council about her duties and stayed a few minutes at the house meeting. I watched most of the Gemini two-manned space flight (Grissom and Young) with Seth.
