~ 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.

Lois Daniels of the Circle Theatre Talked - Wednesday, March 25, 1964

Maybe a new approach to an algebra problem will sink in while I'm writing. I've more or less "passed" the evening. First I went to the band concert and stayed to help Tom get pictures. Then Evelyn and I baked some "cone cakes" with little chicken favors for Jane's and Kelmie's "unbirthdays." At Women's Forum this afternoon Lois Daniels of the Circle Theatre talked. I got a C- on the teaching of arithmetic test, seriously jeopardizing my slimmest chance for the Dean's List. I talked to Dean Gibson this morning about a case that may result from the nature of the library search.
