~ 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.

LLC Favors Ready to Distribute at 1:00 AM - Sunday, September 30, 1962

This morning I went to church with Judy. This afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00 some of us worked on LLC rush favors in the Herr House old maids' lounge. Margie and I are waiting till 1:00 AM to distribute those to go out to the freshman girls tonight. Chris and I walked around Parkville this evening. (Just had time out for Hawley's third serenade - one by the ACCs and two by freshman boys). The rest of the time I tried to study.
