~ 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.

Was Elected Lucerne Vice President - Thursday, March 28, 1963

Today in the Lucerne election for next term's officers I was elected vice president. In the run-off between Carole Demort and me for Lucerne Best Athlete, Carole won. I'm glad, because she really did deserve it. We had a game tonight with the PCCs. We actually led 7-5 at the end of the first quarter, but the final score was 47-14. I was really proud of Chris, Kathy and Patsy's guarding - Patsy reminds me of Donna Statler. We were supposed to have the Stylus staff picture taken tonight, but no one was showing up for the pictures, so they're being rescheduled. The pictures all should have been taken "years" ago. Ed psych tonight, but all we did was go over the test.
