~ 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.

We Are Proud of Park's College Bowl Team Despite Loss - Sunday, February 7, 1965

It's hard to believe that Park's participation in College Bowl is over. It was neat sitting in the Meetin' House and watching, even if Park didn't get any points until the end when Terry and Walt made 25 for us. The guys looked so composed even in spite of such a loss, and we are proud of them. Portland State was just too stiff for us. They should be flying back now. A group of kids plans to meet their plane at 2:00 AM. I think I was in the snake dance scene in the movie shown at intermission. I managed to finish my social studies test and philosophy paper, but my social psych paper will have to wait till Wednesday.
