~ 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.

Film Development Took Last Dollar - Saturday, January 26, 1963

We had butterfly heats and more medleys this afternoon. Babs wasn't able to get there so for the second day in a row I had my suit on but didn't swim. Carolyn and I tried to push Bob Young in the pool. Pete Bine said he'd give us a quarter if we did it. Park played Evangel this afternoon. We only lost by eight points. I yelled enough. I guess I'll read more religion before I go to bed. I've got to get caught up in it. And I must get started on my French reading. Oh dear. Between the swim meet and the game I went down to the drug store and spent my last dollar for my developed pictures.
