~ 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.

Voted in New Members of Stephens Tonight - Sunday, April 5, 1964

It's awful that I should be acting in ways more immature about the Stephens move than I did about the Hawley move. We voted in new members tonight but I haven't heard the results yet. I think a combination of factors have been acting to make me jumpy. My pent-up steam needs an escape valve. I went to the choir concert this afternoon. After all our efforts, Mr. Larson forgot to have them stay for yearbook pictures. (Just got back from Karen's phone call about the matter.) I went to Sunday evening forum - a man from India on a march for peace spoke. We had a student council meeting with the new goon squad. Stephens served Woodward the breakfast they bought at the WUS auction - pancakes in the Meetin' House.
