~ 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.

Have Told Seth it's Time to go Separate Ways - Wednesday, March 10, 1965

I didn't study at all tonight. Jim and Chuck took Evelyn and me to the health center to get TB skin tests since one of the foreign students has come down with it. Rosemary and I talked to _____ and told her the house council had decided to revoke her punishment since there was a lack of understanding about lounge hours. Then the dorm decided at a house meeting to set 2:30 AM as lounge closing time. I'm in the process of sending Seth on his separate way and me on mine with the exception of a few dinners and a dance this month.
