~ 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.

Seen With Fred in Lounge - Sunday, March 1, 1964

Gee, I can't win! I don't have my book read (100 pages yet to go) for which the outline of the paper is due tomorrow. I was sitting in the lounge with Fred at 10:15 (after having said at 9:50 that I had that to do and probably should go do it) when who should walk in but Mr. Reynolds with some papers for Cheryl to grade. I could have died. That means my paper`better be good and that I better get on the stick. Fred went to Forum tonight and Evelyn and I went to see the movie, "Hiroshima, Mon Amour." This was a beautiful day. Fred brought his book, O Ye Jigs and Juleps, for me to read. It's so cute.
