~ 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.

Made Poster for Weekend Work Camp - Saturday, February 23, 1963

This afternoon I made a poster for Commons about the Kansas City Weekend Work Camp March 8-10. I'd like to go in, and Margy Romig and George Bruner are interested. It would be nice if we could get a group. Then I went to the library and read psych (while we weren't busy watching Copley's snowball fight - those guys climb up and down the outside stone walls - I guess that's Copley tradition though). It snowed a beautiful wet snow this morning. Carolyn Brown and I went down to Parkville. Tonight I saw the OAC show - four plays. There was a J. R. party (but kind of dead).
