~ 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 Had Our Stephens Dinner Out at the Gold Buffet - Sunday, March 7, 1965

I'm up against time again - I'm approximately one-third done with my comparative education paper. I literally can't wait to have it done and over with. I'll have to get up at 4:00. We had our Stephens dinner at the Gold Buffet, leaving at 4:00 and getting back at 6:00. We had planned to go the Wishbone again but changed our minds for certain time and financial reasons. Seth went to chapel with me again. We had Dr. White, a Southern Baptist, as a guest minister. Seth and I had shakes in the J.R. for a half-hour study break.
