- ~ 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.
Farewells, Presents and Refreshments - Monday, May 21, 1962
We had our last house meeting of the year tonight with farewells, presents and refreshments. Tonight I looked over the bones again in anatomy lab. The night watchman was there - he really knows a lot about bones. Art said to him, "I bet you've been to college." He said he'd been by one. Oh, I don't want to take my three tests tomorrow. The fact that my camera was used without my permission for a "nude" picture doesn't add to my good humor either.

oh my...
Well, I solved the problem by using the Kodak Printing Kit that I still had at home to develop that roll of film. As it turned out she had a hand and a towel in all the right places so shouldn't have been worried about sending it in for development.
Wow that was smart. I was wondering what kind of trouble you might have gotten into!
So was I!
