- ~ 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.
Saw Two French Plays at University of Kansas - Monday, March 4, 1963
Tonight the French class and Dr. Hampl went to see two French plays, "Orphee" and "L'Apollon de Bellac," at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. They were very good and I understood most of what was going on in the second one and knew nearly everything they said in Orphee. Carolyn and I went with Fred and Nancy, and Frank came back with us. This afternoon John Laderer, Elliott Goldman and I went to observe in the Chinn Elementary School for ed psych. I watched second and third grades.
