~ 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.

Reading the Play "Orphee" - Monday, February 25, 1963

The poli sci test wasn't too bad but I probably should have done better. There were sure a lot of tests today. I got what little news there was to get. In French we have been reading the play Orphee that we are going to go see at the University of Kansas next Monday night. I finally got the part in Cocteau: Scandal and Parade read that we were supposed to, so now the play reading will be much easier. I'm slipping in my old 7:30 breakfast Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It's getting to be more like 7:40. But we never have very long lines any more like we sometimes used to. They've been working on remodeling the library all year. For what it's worth to whom it may concern, you know! Gosh, how odd my conglomeration is tonight!!
