- ~ 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 to Play, "The Apparitions" - Saturday, February 29, 1964
We went to the play, "The Apparitions," tonight. It was put on as part of the Latin American series. The scenery was excellent, and it was a good play. Karen and I worked on the yearbook this morning. We finally created our own cover. We finished our first layout. I can't remember what she had said she would do when that day came. I read my book for geography this afternoon. I wrote to Mr. Morris about working at the Journal office again this summer. It was windy like "in like a lion," but I guess the wind didn't know it was February 29 and not March 1.
