~ 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.

Olympics Skating Championships - Thursday, January 30, 1964

I went to three meetings tonight so consequently I haven't accomplished a lot else. Fred had my watch in his pocket while I was at the meetings so I couldn't keep track of time. Consequently, I lost an hour's time somewhere by the time he left at 10:30. We went to the J. R. for Cokes since he was thirsty after the ACC - Woodward basketball game that they lost 44-43. We watched the Olympics figure skating championships. The meetings were the fundraising committee with club presidents, Interclub Council and Women's Forum. I put up yearbook signs and duplicated notices this morning and went to the library this afternoon.
