~ 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.

Park Beat Calvary Baptist in Our Fourth Straight Win - Friday, January 29, 1965

Park beat Calvary Bible College tonight - our fourth straight win. We were actually ahead the whole way. It snowed quite a little bit more today. I thought maybe Huffords wouldn't make it for remedial reading, but they did. The "case" from last weekend is still being discussed by the administration, and Dean Miller wants to speak to the entire dorm, so we've set Sunday night at 10:00 as the time. What a mess! There's a dance on campus tonight - Peter Palmer's band. Carol Patterson, Joy Matthews and a girl I don't know are guests in Stephens.
