Quiet study, concentrated experiment or group dis- cussions gave us the knowledge in learning we were seeking. It was difficult to find a place where you could read the Daily Universe or write home for money, when the time for the final exams came around. It ' s certain that scholarship was not overlooked on the Y cam- pus. Only one thing bothered you — not enough people brought refreshments to the library. Remember how distinguished those briefcases looked? They easily packed away your track shoes, catcher ' s mitt, portable radio, pen and pencil set from Aunt Lissie, tuna sand- wich, a couple of packages of Spearmint gum, cross- word puzzles, and . . . oh, yes, sometimes your botany book. The lawn was priority study space when the weather was good, and other times the library had to suffice. Labs and the Science Center balcony provided extra space, and sometimes good observation stations were available. No use neglecting your education in any one field. Each quarter brought its usual study resolutions and intellectual budgeting, but they ex- pired prematurely, and the quarter ended with the heartfelt, Well, next time I ' ll. . . And yet it seemed like you never did. Not that your studies were neglect- ed; they just had to wait ' til other things had received their appropriate attention. Still you gained much. From English you learned to appreciate ancient and modern literature; botany gave you a glimpse of your world; and all your studies gave you a new memory. LAB EXPERIMENTS (below left), research in the Ubrary (below center), or on stairs (below right). . . we could learn anywhere. 1 1 WINTER AND SPRING each brought their particular type of study along. mrnmrnmrnsmm

GROUPS were a familiar sight on campus, , especiaUy congregated on the balcony of the Science Center. InformaUty was the keyword. CROWDS always went to assemblies. Quiet hours in assembly, talks with friends last minute cramming ' ' for exams, and class lectures — each gave us a sense of belonging — a direction to the course. If one thing was typical of the BYU, it was probably crowds. At least between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. Reflecting the growth and bigness of the school, crowds gathered in assemblies, spent time in classes, attended sports events, and generally moved from one place to another. In the midst of these crowds you found yourself. You might have been sitting and concentrating; you might have been running to class; you might have been just an observer watching the rest of the busy world go by. In any rase, the crowds at BYU will always be one of your memories. JTivSIji wmmmmmmm •
