Construction keeps Eastern ' s beauty fresh and up-to-date. Through the media of concrete, glass and brick, architects and builders create the facili- ties for student life and activity. In these buildings we will laugh and cry, dream and hope, succeed and fail. The skeleton of giant Alumni Coliseum, the nearly-completed shell of towering McGregor Hall — these, too, are the charm, the spirit, the life of Eastern. ; .-« $ : a»iP a.aa«»j HHHHj

College is a gathering-place for those who wish to pursue education, and the busy Eastern community provides a perfect setting for living and learning. The pageantry of a coronation, the sweet bliss of a pastoral ode, and the elegance of the Parthe- non; a bejeweled crown, a velvet green tree, a columned porch — these create the setting. We, the students, play the parts, and revise the plot each day as we grow in knowledge and experience. Inward joy and excitement bursts into a smile on every queen ' s face, whether she be queen of the campus or queen in the eyes of that special person — the delight is equally thrilling.

Football is running across the goal ine, intercepting a pass, recover- ing a fumble, hurling helmet-first toward the ground, sweating from tension, writhing in pain. It is satisfaction in a battle hard fought and pride in a battle won. The spirit of Eastern is evidenced in many forms throughout the year. But this spirit rises to tremendous heights on a glorious Autumn afternoon when two highly-keyed football squads battle for a champion- ship. The air tingles even more with excitement when 3,500 high school musicians from 60 bands mass for a spectacular halftime show. . . . This is the spirit of activity, the essence of Eastern ' s beauty.
