- ~ 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.
Arts and Culture Movie "Bridge to the Sun" Was Good - Sunday, March 18, 1962
I just made my date bars and am waiting for them to cool so we can eat them. I did French this afternoon. Tonight I hope my anatomy sinks in for the test tomorrow. The arts and culture movie, "Bridge to the Sun," was real good. There was such a nice spring evening feel out after the movie. The white fluffy clouds were against the gray sky and it had just rained. This would have been a good day or weekend to go out to the pasture at home. Gee, two weeks till my first college spring vacation.

Reading this post, I had to smile. I JUST finished my last paper and am on my break! (3 weeks) so this was truly apropo for me . . . even if written fify years ago! :-)
Cecelia, I know you are relieved to be finished with your studies for three weeks, but as I know from reading your blog, Inspired Vision, that you were able to spend time with your new grandson Elijah while also completing this term's work. Our first grandchild, a little girl, is due in July. She (Natalie Claire) is our oldest daughter and her husband's first child.
