~ 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.

Gave WJC Chairman Campaign Speech - Thursday, March 12, 1964

This algebra. I've been working on it for I don't know how long and still have a few problems I'm not sure about. I've had quite a few comments on my campaign speech that I gave this morning in assembly, so I guess it was okay. I was the first to speak but that way I had it over with. It really wasn't bad at all - after all, these people are my friends. Shirley, Nancy and Kathy gave a shower for Jane in the lounge this afternoon. There weren't any classes because of pre-registration day. Some of us went to Mrs. Morrill's for Women's Forum tonight. Two League of Women Voters members were there.
