~ 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.

Mom Has Dating Daughters - Wednesday, January 29, 1964

Fred said he wouldn't come up tonight since he's studying for a heritage test and I am for an algebra test. However, since I got back from the library I've spent just as much time getting ready for bed as I would have spent with Fred. But I guess I won't have to do it later. I've still got a ways to go for the test, but I shouldn't have too much trouble with it. Hope not, anyway. Mom gave some "advice" to Phyllis in her letter about how to deal with Don and said a good rule to follow was not to become officially engaged to anyone before her junior year. She said Fred sounded very nice. Dear Mom finally has some dating daughters.
