J 0'C6W0'Z1 VERSHADOWING the quadrangle, with its tower rising far above the campus, the lVlilo H. Stuart lVlemorial Hall commands the admiration of visitors and the reverence of students. Behind its pure architectural beauty is a beauty of strength and sound structure, of steel girders and masonry of which the students of Tech are not aware. ,lust as they are unfamiliar with the background of Stuart Hall, so are they unaware of many obscure places on Teclfs campus. They are graduated, never having been inside the lunchroom kitchen, oblivious to the Powder Magazine, only mildly curious about the heating tunnels and the attics. and never having visited backstage, thus missing many of the interesting sights that are behind the scenes. To explore and to present a few of these places to the student body is one of the missions of this, the June magazine of 1940. Another is to picture activities of the classroom and the extra- curricular life of the average student. To the class of 194140 is devoted the third and major portion of this magazine, which presents individual pictures of more than 1,300 seniors. ln editing this magazine, we, the editors, have had then, a triple purpose: to present briefly some behind the scenes activities that knowl- edge and appreciation of the school may be increased, to show a cross- section of campus life, and to give recognition to the graduating class of 1940. 8141.72.11 if T, ' - I1 22:17-iif.-'S:', + f II- I
