- ~ 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.
Halogens Unit is More to Liking - Wednesday, April 12, 1961
Tonight we had choir practice and youth fellowship. I did Phyl's FHA bake sale posters for her during choir. I worked on my chemistry review exercise. I've gotten the most out of this Halogens unit of any for a long time. But if we have a test on weight-weight, weight-volume, and volume-volume (as has been hinted for two days) I'm liable to spoil my record--fairly good so far. I ate dinner with Mary Ellen and Billie early so we could type yearbook pages at noon. We're reading A Tale of Two Cities in English class. I like it.
