~ 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.

Attended Voice and Piano Recitals - Sunday, February 2, 1964

Time is getting away from me again. However, I slept till 10:15 this morning, so I guess it won't hurt me to get up at 5:00. I wish I could have seen the LLC-ACC game this afternoon but I was scheduling yearbook pictures. They beat us 60 some to 40 some. Fred scored 30 points. He and I went to the OAC pancake supper tonight. This afternoon Evelyn and I went to Mrs. Lippincott's voice and Janet Reeve's piano recitals and the reception afterwards. In the mix-up of birthdays for which Stephens gives parties, we're still mixed up, in spite of the fact that Pat's was given by Liz after Nancy planned to.
