~ 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.

A Book From Dr. Johnson - Tuesday, November 20, 1962

I doubt if I did too well on the soc test. It's kind of hard to tell. I'm now studying for the religion test. So far I'm still calm - hope I remain that way. I got a book, "Contemporary Thinking About Jesus," from Dr. Johnson this morning - he suggested I stop by for it. Kathy and Jan gave third floor a little party in the lounge tonight. I went up and got my second flu shot at the infirmary. I have a slight cold so am supposed to take two aspirins every four hours. Fred is going home on the same train I am - he has arranged our transportation in to the station tomorrow night at 8:00.
