- ~ 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.
Rat Race Could Be Solved By Praying - Tuesday, November 13, 1962
It's really marvelous having opportunities like hearing Dr. Albright, the world famous archaeologist give three lectures in two days. I don't think I could do the man justice in a Stylus article. I talked to Dr. Patton and he suggested writing impressions but by the time I - - anyway I was past the deadline and Carol said not to worry about skipping it. We had a good article about him last week and still have news on hand, so - . Schwartzes sent me cookies. We lost to the PCCs in speedball. Everything seems to be one constant rat race. I can't locate the problem. Except that I don't pray. And I must.
