F rom the tranquillity on a cold winter night to the heydays during the summer, the small town of Parkville is full of diversities. And it ' s these diversities which make Parkville a unique community. Part of the tiny hamlet ' s character lies in its peo¬ ple. For some, Parkville is the only home they ' ve ever known. Families such as the Pearls, Downings and Francis ' s have helped mold the tiny city. But numerous Park College graduates particularly from the East have chosen Parkville to be their new home. Among those who came and stayed are Larry Young, Tom Lucus and Linda Payne Boyce, active in city affairs. paIjkville Founded by George S. Park 1838 First Known as English Landing, river port on frontier, steamboat landina: slave, tobacco, and hemp market HOME OF PARK COLLEGE ,. Founded 1875 John A. McAfee and GeOTqc S Pat-k P ' oneercd in new fe . fn edneattonV Just what is it that makes Parkville so special? Everyone is so friendly here, Junior Dia Weisenburger from Manhattan, Kansas, said. It s a nice quiet town, Senior Valerie Davis from St. Louis said. I like it because I don ' t ever hear about much crime. Once students adjusted to the Parkville life-style, some habits start to develop. Stops at McKeon ' s for lunch or a late night snack were not uncom¬ mon. Neither were monthly trips to Googie ' s. Or what about waiting to hear the noon whistle on the Burlington Northern when it rolled through town. All these elements make Parkville a place resi¬ dents and students are proud to call my town.
