~ 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.

Former Boyfriend Married, Boyfriend Walked Out - Thursday, March 4, 1965

Unfortunately for [a member of Stephens] I was in the hall studying this morning (I got up at 5:00) when she came in at 5:45 and confessed to being in the lounge all night with [her boyfriend]. The really uncanny thing is that I had a feeling she would come walking in this morning. The house council decided her lounge privileges should be taken away for a month. In another situation I acted cooly enough toward Seth that he "walked out" on me. I called him tonight and he sounded as if he was ready to cry. Nic Walker's wedding writeup was in the Journal.
