- ~ 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.
"The Place of Religion in the Public Schools" - Friday, February 22, 1963
Rats!! I got up at 5:00 this morning to read history since I figured we'd have a quiz. We did. I didn't get any credit for one of my two answers (4+ out of 5 for the other one) so I only got a D+. I almost would have been ahead to "forget it!" Tonight I went up to the health center to see the doctor. He thinks I should just let my twice per month period since September just work itself out. That's what Mom thought, too, but it's nice to know. I talked with Dr. Johnson about my religion term paper topic. We chose "The Place of Religion in the Public Schools."

Sounds like an interesting paper!
I thought it was special that Dr. Johnson took my major into consideration when he helped me choose a topic.
