~ 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.

Have Received an A or A- in Every Course - Monday, January 21, 1963

I wrote up what little news I had tonight, took it over to Mackay and had a lucky break in that I met Mr. Reynolds and was able to get the rest of the information I need about Daniel Boorstin. An "unlucky break" followed in that I just then found out that Carol wants me to check out some other stuff, too, but this way I won't have to feel guilty about not turning in much news. I finally did it. Remember last term when I vowed to make at least one A in every course? Well, I never quite succeeded in history, but today I got an A- on our "matching items" quiz! Tonight I also read ed psych and got the list of individual sports for the LLCs. "We" watched the last half of the Ben Casey continued story. More were watching tonight than last week - I wouldn't have had such a good opportunity.
