~ 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.

We Beat Tabor in Season Opener - Saturday, September 21, 1963

This was a nice fall Saturday at Park College. We beat Tabor in our first soccer game of the season, our second defeat of our archrival and the first time in seven years we've beat them at home. The guys really played a good game. I walked down to Brisch's house with Evelyn. Ellen is almost a year old now and so cute. Then I went to the soccer field for the LLC-ACC speedball game. Needless to say, we lost. I still have a cold. I hope tomorrow is nice weather for our canoe trip. Terry Osuga and I worked in the concessions stand at the theater tonight. Pay is two free passes.
