~ 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.

College All-Stars Beat Green Bay - Friday, August 2, 1963

Leets were here for a cook-out supper in the back yard. We kids went in to swim. Mom and Jane brought Alice and Jim in for a little while. Then we came back and watched the Green Bay Packers - College All-Stars football game. The All-Stars won for the first time since 1958. I ran a notice in the Journal for sending in the college page news items. It was really hot again. Virginia and Ann went out to Grandma's to spend the night with Betty and Linda.
