- ~ 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.
Writing for Yearbook - Thursday, December 1, 1960
I've been having a lot of fun writing about all of the high school departments for the yearbook. It's the kind of thing I've always wished I could do. But it has taken lots of time and work. Here it is December. It's awful for me not to have my college application sent in. Much longer and I won't get there. I've also got to get my research paper worked on. I took my proofs back to Driscoll's Tuesday and placed my order, but they're not going to start them till after Christmas.

I know. I know. I used to say my middle name should have been Procrastination.
