- ~ 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.
Loads of Time Today - Tuesday, February 11, 1964
Even though I get rushed for time, there are still days like today when I feel as if I have loads of time. It was never this way last semester. I went down to watch the ACC-PCC basketball game tonight. Fred made 35 points with no trouble at all and consequently he says it was a lousy game. I demonstrated a little of my "skill" afterward. I guess Phyllis amazed practically the whole basketball team by doing that at Tarkio. Our Avon products came tonight. I got some new pinky dink pink polish and lipstick, powder refill, astringent and clear skin soap. I didn't have to work this afternoon.
