~ 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 Not Named Narva Editor - Thursday, April 11, 1963

I may have felt just a little disappointed (but not really) about not getting honorable mention for the writing award, but that was minor compared to what happened this afternoon. Not only did I not get Narva editor, but I only got half of the associate editorship along with Terry Scullin. Carole Green recommended Karen for editor and me for associate - it was enough when she told me that, but then to only get six hours. Mr. Larson thought Karen should be editor. Today's interview was like a comps board - Dr. Neighbor's presence didn't help matters. I'll be ticked if I don't get at least a B for ed psych!
