~ 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 Each Work 20 Hours a Week - Wednesday, April 29, 1964

One thing about not working in the morning has to stop - I can't just lie in bed every morning the way I did today. This was a cold day for going around to the stores for news. I've certainly done it in all kinds of weather. Mrs. Luckenbill left word that I should work on Saturday mornings, so I called her about it. We decided that this way they'll be getting 20 hours from each of us and I won't have to stay clear till 5:00 in the afternoons. I'll also miss my chance to look around the stores at noon.
