It was one primarily of growth and planning for the future . . . but it had meaning for the present too. . . . Expanded faculty . . . increased enrollment .... It was the year that saw freshmen with no service experience enter the University .... It was a year that saw some semblance of normalcy return to the campus. The Summer quarter got under way in typical fashion . . . standing in lines isn't the exclusive property of the army and navy .... But then it wasn't too bad .... It was the weather that made us cuss hot classrooms and peal down to T-shirts and jeans .... It was the hot weather, also, that brought out the girls .... Agnes Scott helped brighten up the Quadrangle as did our Nurses .... The ice-cool-looking marble buildings nestled down in the green of Druid Hills backgrounded the whole scene .... The first evidence of Emory's growing pains came with the wooden annexes .... Fishburne annex led the way with A , B , and C following .... Construction crews and trucks became part of the scene .... Some of us joined the work and helped scar the ground near Fish- burne to hold pipes that were the bones of a greater Emory. YEA Across the tracks 'ASlobbovia C was turned over to Theology students .... Other residents of our shanty town complained about the heat even more than the rest of us .... But it wasn't too bad. Johnny Johnson had his troubles . . . new stu- dents hadn't heard of tralhc regulations . . . a few decided that parking on the grass was a good idea. At last we got a Student Activity building . . . small but better than nothing .... Down on Ark- wright drive the two new dormitories were being finished .... Building . . . growing .... Out of the plans of men who l0 and 15 years ago could see a new Emory. Athletics for all got a healthy boost .... Bull- dozers . . . scrapers . . . once weapons, now helpers . . . growled their way onto the athletic fields. . . . In great hunks the land melted away .... The skeleton of the new gym pushed its way upward. . . . A dream and a wish coming true. The time-worn old gymmzsium comes down . . . . E .. Z . mu, .... -. .
