~ 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.

Stephens Girls Had Dinner at the Wishbone - Sunday, March 22, 1964

The Stephens girls went to the Wishbone for a steak dinner tonight. Evelyn drove a car for Barb, Margaret, Judy and me. It was a good meal and a lot of fun. After we got back I went to the library to read a little more about Laura Ingalls Wilder and Garth Williams for my report tomorrow. Evelyn and I went to Fran's recital this afternoon. I was at Herr House till 2:00 for yearbook picture taking. I really miss Fred after having "gone with" him for four months, but it's got to be better this way. I just hope my moodiness doesn't effect my studying.
