~ 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.

Went with Rosemary to Madrigal Concert - Wednesday, March 18, 1964

I went with Rosemary to the madrigal concert tonight. The LLCs played the PCCs in volleyball. We won one of the three games. The LLCs got the candy bars that we're selling for the student union fund-raising campaign. I sold two to Mr. Penniston who came to help us pick out the Narva cover tonight. Fred did an interesting job of ignoring me tonight in Commons after I had been playing basketball with him and Don Hinkle before our LLC-PCC game. Don brought his hand down on my glasses and bent them. Fred's ignoring me doesn't really bother me if he thinks it does, yet it is rather unnecessary, I'd say.
