~ 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.

Worked on Who's Who Biography and Survey Forms - Friday, November 27, 1964

The day passed so quickly that I didn't get much done. I slept till 10:30. This afternoon I worked on some of the forms that I must fill out for the Who's Who headquarters. There are two duplicate biography forms, one used by the Who's Who job placement service, and a survey for general information. I don't think I'm going to get everything done that I might have, but then I intended to take it easy this vacation. We went to the two girls basketball games with Cardinal at Mid-Prairie. We won both. I saw only Fred Miller from our class. Linda Timmins went with us.
