- ~ 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.
Women's Judicial Council - Thursday, September 26, 1963
Evelyn and I (the "peoples") and Nancy (the Nebraskan) have been running around taking pictures and calling the kitty Herr House gave to Stephens. We can't find Cat tonight. Last night some of my funds were confiscated for the purchase of tuna for him. We've got the hay ride all lined up. The LLCs won a speedball game when the OACs had to forfeit. According to tonight's Stylus, I'm a newly appointed member of the Women's Judicial Council. Well, I must do well on my personality test tomorrow. It wasn't announced till yesterday when Dean Gibson didn't show up for class.

A dorm kitty?! I love the idea . . . .
I remember walking through the woods with another dorm resident calling "Socrates!" when another dorm cat decided not to come in.
