~ 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.

Six of Us Had Stephens Pictures Taken at DeClouds - Saturday, October 31, 1964

My plans for going to bed early were changed when Jean asked me if I wanted to go to Fritz's with her and Bob, Tom Strauss, Dave Portzer, and Rita Fox. We had a lot of fun and then came back to the campus Halloween movie and party. I took Evelyn, Jean and Winnie to DeClouds at 1:00 for our Stephens pictures. Barb and Margaret went in with us. Then we went to Antioch to pick up the sheet cake for our open house.
