~ 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.

Senior Grades were A's and B's in High School and College - Monday, May 3, 1965

My last grades from Park College came today. I got an A- in education seminar and all the others were B grades. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I didn't get any C's, and college turned out to be the same way. And I got all A's and B's for my education courses. I can't figure out why the college didn't give any departmental honors this year. I sent my application for my teaching certificate to Mr. Carey and asked him about graduate credit from the teachers' conservation camp. Phyllis and I went out to Reif's Dari Sweet for lunch.
