~ 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.

Will Have to Get Up at 4:00 - Sunday, March 8, 1964

It's one of those nights again. Since I don't have my government done, my algebra or geography maps finished, I guess I'll have to get up at 4:00. Since Evelyn wants to use the text, I guess she'll stay up tonight and do hers. Ridiculous, after a whole weekend! This just hasn't been my day. I've been thinking about the boys at Tarkio whose frame dorm burned early Saturday morning. I'll be anxious to hear details from Phyllis. I "got yelled at" for letting some grease burn in a pan I was going to pop corn in - I said I thought I'd give Tarkio a little competition. I didn't see much of Fred today.
