~ 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.

Scored Reading Tests and Compared Month's Results - Tuesday, June 29, 1965

I have some interesting results from the reading test I gave this morning. The fact that we used different tests this time probably makes some difference in correlation, but Doug's comprehensive score was two years ahead of where he was a month ago, Bill's one year ahead, David's a month behind, Jean's two months and Scott's seven months behind. It's hard to know what to think. I got a nice red back and shoulders from sunbathing this afternoon. It rained hard just after Tex and I got back from the Dog 'N Suds so we sat in my car in the rain. Then it began to hail so Tex drove the car down to the White House garage until it stopped. We had a party for Mom Hunt tonight.
