~ 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.

Rearranged Education Library Books at Work Today - Monday, February 1, 1965

Well, at least we're still a unified dormitory. It takes a lot of integrity to take a stand yet somehow question personal feelings. I think everything is going to be fine now. I really am sorry so much "turmoil" has occurred during my "administration" - I know how U.S. presidents must feel. It's 11:00 and I'm only just now getting a chance to start studying for a developmental psych test tomorrow. Fortunately Evelyn, Jean and I went over our class notes last night. I spent work time today rearranging education library books.
