Well, back to Thursday night again and it's biology or bust! I called about train schedules today and I'll be able to leave at 9:25 Thursday night the 14th and get to Fairfield at 1:50 in the morning. I got a box of cookies from Peggy, a letter from Patty saying they might be able to bring me back to college after Christmas vacation, the round robin letter and a letter from Grandma. And I had thought I didn't get any mail since Margie had brought it up here! Janet has been to Lake Darling. Her grandmother lives by Hedrick. We'll be able to get together this summer. This world isn't so big after all. We had a movie that took place in Johnston, Iowa, on hybrid chickens in lecture-demonstration.

- ~ 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.

Did you get the round robin?
The round robin I mentioned was not my mom's and aunts' round robin. It was one that several of the other Mid-Prairie girls and I decided to have.
