~ 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.

Wrote to President Mohler About the Cottage - Thursday, November 12, 1964

I just finished writing a letter on behalf of Stephens to President Mohler about the cottage. It never hurts to try. We had a pretty good house meeting tonight, too. At the LLC meeting I graded language papers. I've now spent two solid months on a packed and rigid schedule. But at least I'm organized to the point where I don't have to get up early very often. I decided to take on our remedial reading project rather than "the kindergarten" for my seminar paper and Dr. Pai agreed.
