Residence Hall: and females Tall, shorf, wide, round, Dark, lighf, olive, yellowg A maze of faces. Happy, smiling faces, laughing Sad, crying faces, sobbing. Angry, frowning faces, scolding. Lovely, loving faces, caring. And noise, and food, and ironing boards: AT all hours. Love affairs and sighs: Love affairs and Tears: A house of human lives and many sfories- Which you can remember. So much To remember! A sTone, a leaf, a door! Across a sun-whiTened sTreeT sTarTs The lawn, Green, Touched wiTh The dead, whiTe balls of Dandelions. The leaves on The Trees are Thick And a dark green, fluTTering on The fringe of a Thin foresT, sTill and hoT in The midsT. A sTone gaTe marks The enTrance aT 9Th and Cedar. Old and sfeady, a daTe is carved upon iT. Summers leaves hide The buildings, excepT where A new one sTands whiTe on The souTh corner. The grass moves, speaking, MRS. HOWARD G. COLWELL, presideni' of The Norfhern Bapfisf Convenfion, was a December chapel speaker. AT The RITCHIE DAY chapel a faculfy meefing dramafized by s+udenTs presenfed a phase of Dr. RiTchie's services To The school. 1 W If 'NL Telling where The wind blows. And soon all of This will be near forgoTTen- Or iT will be a blurred memory: Like The memory of a sunseT aT sea. AdminisTraTion Building: hoT, dusTy home of our lnTellecTg vine covered hall of liTTle vicTims. Place of our ambiTion, seaf of pride! l-lere we climb To share The envied kiss of wisdom To warm our hearfs aT knowledge's secreT door. NOT all of us sTudied-none of us enough. Our Teachers Tried as besT They could And we someTimes failed To go our reasonable disTance Underfones of dissaTisfacTion swepT These halls, AT ignorance of Teacher, sTudenT, self: All The while forgeTTing ThaT we are all human. De gusTibus non esT dispuTanclum. The presenTaTion of Haydn's TOP SYMPHONY has become an annual Chrisfmas evenf. Special guesi' arTisT This year was Bundy on The bird-whisfle. A look inTo The MAIN LOUNGE of The Women's Residence Hall. Who sows This barren earTh? Who reaps iTs golden crop? A hundred voices welled up Trom here: Called Tor wisdom, knowledge- And an easy way ouT of life. An escape Trom all ThaT is realiTy. As a means To losing ourselves we ThoughT OT Riches, passion, Tame, glory, marTyrdom, seclusion, And all The hundred-and-one TaceTs oT egoism. Escape Trom The inescapable. Where do you go O leaT? From where do you come O wind? A young man swells wiTh pride as he SwiTTly crosses The goal To score. He is Caesar, Alexander, Eisenhower- And Tar away, on a lonely shore A seaman is aTTaclced by a razor-mouThed barracuda And he sTands in The waTer Looking dumbly aT his enTrails, TloaTing before him. We bring wiTh us our homes, Encased in our personaliTies, painTed brighTly ln our Taces and our sTep. Here The dull and lusTreless eyes oT men and women Find a sparkle-begin To burn wiTh ioy and inTeresT. We mock and ieer our Tellow- And in The guieT nighT our own image comes beTore us And we are TrighTened. CEDARCREST. Girls like Kay's brownies and Kay's boys. F. H. A. Housing UniTs.

The dead smell oT Tormaldehyde and Trogs in boTTles. ExperimenTs and unlcnown quanTiTies To be explained. Problems ThaT Talce hours To solve And malce us use our minds. The pure science ThaT we are aTraid oT because we do noT undersTand. And because we are afraid They do noT undersTand. Problems, We learned To solve and wondered why. Eaces. Everywhere Taces. Some we lilce, and oThers we dislilce. And when we are honesT we see our own... Even Though whaT we see is noT pleasanT. ..v f A f Our memory is oT a sea oT Taces. Rippling wiTh laughTer, heaving wiTh sighs, Flowing in Trom porTs all over The world: AusTralia, China, Germany, ATrica And our own America. Then leaving on The Tide oT graduaTion. Faces: Taces oT aThleTes, sToic, immobile, And noT prone To smile excepT aT oTher Taces, SToic, immobile. Faces oT women: Blank, expressionless Taces: lnTeresTing, sToried Taces. EducaTed Taces. Faces oT hungry women. Passive expressions. FrusTraTed expressions. Religious Taces And Taces beauTiTul, radianT, expressive- Like TirsT Tlowers in spring. We are people, and all These Things we remember. There are oTher Things, absTracT, Thar we remember. Feelings, aTTiTudes, aTmosphere. The sighTs, sounds and smells aT TooTball Time. Yellow and brown leaves, nervous crowds ThaT iosTle old women. Popcorn, cokes, candy bars And, when The lighTs are ouT, CigareTTes, doTTing The crowd like TireTlies. Who can TorgeT his own sporT, Track, baskeTball, Tennis, golT, and The oThers, Or The Thrill oT beaTing Baker. Our life aT OTTawa- One oT ink and Typing paper. Homework and heavy eyelids.

SHELDON HALL. The rooms of This preTenTious old home are now occupied by assorTed aThleTes, English maiors, and minisTerials. WARD MANOR. A gifT To The universify by Dr. M. L. Ward, one of The early professors, is This dormiTory for men. Handel's greaT oraTorio THE MESSIAH, was pre- senTed by The O. U. choir December ll aT The FirsT BapTisT Church. A large crowd, including many guesTs from oTher ciTies, Thrilled To The music oT l40 voices, under The direcTion oT Edgar D. Kerr. THE CAMPUS STORE iusf before The Ten o'clock rush. The pride oT parenTs when oTTspring Do well in aThleTics- Like a Tall boy's moTher who wepT When his Team losT aT Emporia And laughed when he was raTed high in an All-conference selecTion. Women's aThleTics: yellow bloomers wiTh shorT skirTsg Hockey sTicks, curved and hard on The shin bone: LeaTher covered ball, screaming and Tlying hair. BaskeTball, and a Tew oT The girls were as good As some oT The men. Volleyball, screaming and long serves. Square dancing, wiTh The men's classes. The gossip in The dressing room: a chaTTer oT SOTT and loud sounds, mingling inTo a noisy whole, SweeT and Triendly. This we remember. The Boiler Room: and smoky air. A row of chairs and a wash Tub Tull oT sand For cigareTTe sTubs. MaTches, cokes, milk, And all kinds oT conversaTion: Talk abouT cars, Teachers, classes, women, PoliTics, cigareTTes, books, religion, Children, aThleTics, shoes, radio And a hundred diTTerenT suloiecTs. Made inTeresTing by The Thousand and one AdiecTives oT lusTy, liTe-loving men- READING ROOM in The main library. You'll probably 'Find Those people who aren'T here in The picTure To The leTT. And Treshmen boys whose moThers did noT know They were ouT. We shared our common griefs ln many diTTerenT places. Places where we TelT welcome. Like The Boiler Room and The Campus STore, Where Jim Pearce smiled and acTed impaTienT. We cried abouT deTeaT and TrusTraTion: The Things ThaT we evenTually laughed aT. Fog crepT inTo our souls and curled around our Smiles-buT Triendships warmTh chased The Tog away Friendship: The indeTinable realiTy oT our happiness. We never called iT love, The word was Too weak Tor our sTrengTh: BuT iT was love, and we were Too weak To see iT. DeaTh and parTing opened our eyes. Friends: The diTTerence beTween loneliness And belonging. A coeTTicienT oT liTe's X. Our gregarious naTure lmpels us To love one anoTher And we sTruggle againsT iT. There were no Tads in our Time. Like megaphones, Freud and raccoon coaTs. BuT our New Look was more pracTical Than The holoble skirT. X We did nol dance lhe Charleslon or lhe Big Apple And no one smolced loreign cigarelles. Our men wore durugarees, and while T-shirls Thal gleamed in lhe sun. Our women did nol have lhe rich, cosmopolilan loolc, Bul lhey wore brighl smiles and were, Usually honesl. And lhough al limes lhe men lhoughl lhey were dumb Many ol our women gol married. We saw some ol lheir children. We lcnew Hue alomic bomb, And lear ol hydrogen power and Soviel Russia. We were a class ol velerans and high school girls. We remember John L. Lewis And cold rooms in Hue Adminislralion Building. We read Loolc, Life, Time and True Confessions. We dranlc Coca Cola and Grapelles, as well as Beer and whisky. We remember lhe repeal ol Prohibilion in Kansas, When Ollawa voled dry. We lcnew, inwardly, lhal Il was wrong. lvlosl ol us admilled il. We had a small malerial cullure and a Naive love lor humanily. We read our conlemporaries Spender, Waugh, Auden, Dos Passos, lvlalraux, Eliol, Olhleill, Lewis, lvlann, Frosl, Maugham, Side and Shaw. We gol engrossed in Quo Vadis and called our lriends Nero, Pelronius, Eunice, Venicius and Lygia: And were lull ol vanily because we had a secrel. We compared Wolle and Calher And saw lhal where Calher llowed Wolle was lilce a Gianl Colossus, maddened in guiclcsand. C. S. Lewis was our aposlle lo lhe slceplics, And we laughed al his Screwlape Lellers. There was l'lomer, Virgil, Danle, Millon, Plalo, Arislolle, lhe Tragedians, and olhers Thal we sweal over in all seasons. Ollen we learned. The seasons al Ollawa: as dependable as a cal Wilh muddy leel. Fall: an old lhing wilh new laces and boolcs. Eagerness lo gel slarled, vows Thal were never lcepl. The heal ol early Seplember, oppressive in wood and lield. WARD SCIENCE HALL. This lhree-slory building houses lhe deparlmenls ol pre-engineering, malhe- malics, physics, biology, and chemislry. Here one may observe lhe induslry of lhe scienlilically mind- ed as lhey do research. THE COMMONS BUILDING. Visifed daily by 350 hungry sTudenTs. Besides The dining room and campus sTore, facili- Ties include The swimming pool, sTudenT organizaTion offices and lounges. The living, shining, silenT, moving air oT auTumn, The colors-dull browns, biTTer reds, bronze, The diTTerenT yellows-The smell oT smoke upon The air, burning leaves: a door slams And in The disTance The wail OT one soliTary Train, Treading iTs way across The naTion. From a blue, clear sky came winTer, and A lighT snow made The ground look like The sea, WiTh whiTecaps shining in The disTance. WinTer is wiTh us, and a dry, cold air ThaT passes wiThouT our noTicing iT. AuTumn is gone: The Trees bow poliTely BeTore The wind which genTly Turns up our collars. lce scars The paThways and a young lady Winds up seaTed on The cold cold ground. Kansas in winTer is wonderTul. While Michigan ciTies are snowbound We go golTing on Sunday. The grass is brown, Tlecked wiTh Kelly green. l.oveliesT Time oT The year was aT ChrisTrnas, When we wenT home, To moThers, TaThers, in-laws And old Triends. We came back To school wiTh new cloThes and gadgeTs7 Plus The same old vows To sTudy harder. WinTer: and The sniTTles, The baskeTball, volleyball, Slush and mud, The hoT coTTee and The crackle oT lce covered Trees, glisTening brighT in morning sun. We loved The TirsT cool winds- And reioiced aT spring's Thawing rain. Spring-and Tine showers on brown grass. Slick, mirror sTreeTs and sTorm windows removed. Black branches drip whiTe iewels While girls run, holding Their skirTs high. The Track, wiTh men in dirTy, smelly sweaTcloThes Running, iumping, Throwing, laughing, swearing. Ancl skinning Their knees on cinders. ThaT Teeling oT hopelessness, biTTerness, in The LaboraTories on Those moisT, sunny days oT spring. Nymphs and Swains, walking hand in hand, Bleary eyed, romanTic, reciTing Browning or Their own verse: The TruiT oT love-sick hearT. Summer-and beads OT sweaT dripping on Thick books Long classes and longer assignmenTs. STudy sTudy sTudy-Tick Tick Tick Tick- UnTil There seems To be no poinT in iT all. BUT some oT us worked: digging diTches, Teaching blond liTTle kids To swim and Throw a Baseball, reading, loaTing, playing, bumming. DRESS NIGHT in The Commons.

And years hence, when fhis is all a misfy, Foggy pasf, fhere will come a fhousand memories lncomplefe, vague, yef real and vifal: Full of colored connofafion. A walk down a counfry lane, A chance greefing wifh an old friend, The sound of a bird shrieking in fhe disfance, Rushing aufomobiles in a greaf cify, The color of a signposf, fhe flame of a sunsef, Dusf, rushing across Kansas: These, and a fhousand ofher images, pressing The magic louffon of memory, causing us fo Recall . . . recall . . . recall . .. We shall spend our lives in a greaf, infense search A search in which we will seek ourselves, And fhe besf fhaf is in us. We will search for Happiness. We will seek if in all fhings- Some will discover if--fhrough faifh. A bell folls fhe knell of a parfing day: lf marks fhe lasf hours of new experience And fhe beginning of an everlasfing guief. This life is a period of preparafion. Wifh pure or unclean minds we mould The subsfance of our efernify. This brief momenf we eifher cherish or despise. Each hour, each drop of sand in fhe glass Sees fhe flower bloom or fade. And We cannof find ourselves alone- There is one who rnusl' go wifh us. We know of Him. He is no mysfery.

WiTh The aid oT good lighTing and auThen- Tic cosTuming, The acTors were able To TypiTy The delicaTe heroine, noble hero. and cruel villain wiTh much abiliTy.

AT ChrisTmas Time a religious one-acT play wiTh a racial Theme enTiTled No Room in The l-loTel was presenTecl in chapel and aT The FirsT ChrisTian Church. The acTion oT The play Takes place in a Typical small Town in Be+hlehem, U.S.A. Chick CharTier, sTudenT dramaTics insTrucTor, was direcTor oT The play.

ORCHESTRA OUALITY, noT guanTiTy, is whaT really counTs. This sTaTemenT parTicularly applies To our own concerT orchesTra. ProTessor SToner has ioyfully and proudly waTched This baby grow inTo a group oT TalenTed and inspired young mu- sicians. High ambiTions caused The group To pre- senT a concerT TirsT semesTer. lT was well received and The words oT praise Tor ProT and his gang began To pour in. AT TirsT iusT a gleam in Their eyes, This TalenT- ed bunch saw Their dream oT an orchesTra road Trip blossom inTo a realiTy. OT course There were problems. The group was small, The cars were limiTed and There were so many oTher Things To do, buT wi+h The encouragemenT oT ProT, prac- Tices were made Tun and The orchesTra swung inTo The exciTemenT oT Taking To The road. The Trip included Concordia, Salina. JuncTion CiTy, Abi- lene, Minneapolis, BenningTon, and l-lerringTon. The numbers were varied To TiT in wiTh The diTTerenT backgrounds in which They played. The i church program included: Hansel and OreTel,' BeneaTh The Cross oT Jesus, FirsT Symphony by BeeThoven, lnTlammaTus and Onward Chris- Tian Soldiers. Playing in TronT oT The high schools They added a liTTle spice To The program by play- ing The Gremlins Ball and A Dream oT Olin. A LaTin-American Touch was given by Cuban Holiday and iTs marachas rhyThm. One oT The highlighTs oT The year was The orchesTra's appearance aT The Spring Musical Revue. Some oT The commenTs heard were, BesT l ever heard Them play, They puT so much Teel- ing inTo The pieces, SlighTly TerriTic. Early lasT Tall The orchesTra decided To do a liTTle publiciTy business Tor O. U. and made several shorT road Trips To neighboring Towns. The re- sponse seemed prooT enough ThaT The musicians did Their job well. Our haTs are oTT To ProTessor Paul SToner and his group OT TalenTed musicians. I LOVE a parade, The sTamping oT TeeT, l love every beaT I hear oT a drum. Corn- bine The exciTemenT oT homecoming and The TalenT oT The OTTawa UniversiTy band, and you have a perTecT recipe Tor a successTul parade. The band, playing peppy marching Tunes, herald- ed The way oT TloaTs and honored royalTy. The lively music seemed To sTir The crowd and soon everyone was sTamping his TeeT and beaming ap- proval oT our own college band. This is an example OT The many Times This year The band has added The Tinal Touches oT celebraTion. WheTher losing or winning our TooT- ball games This group oT sporTsmanlilce musicians played on, keeping The morale oT boTh players and specTaTors high. A heavy, drenching rain may have dampened insTrumenTs buT iT didn'T dampen spiriTs and The band soon reassembled in dryer cloThes and conTinued Their iob. A Trip To The Blues STadium in Kansas CiTy provided exciTemenT and oh, whaT a Time. A mis- undersTanding beTween The band and The bus company caused The group To arrive iusT as They were supposed To parade on The Tield. However, BAN ProT. SToner's well organized group quiclcly Tool: The siTuaTion in hand and a neaT iob oT perTorm- ing was done. A TormaTion TeaTuring an Indian Dance and The Tiring of Tireworlcs parTicularly Thrilled The audience aT one oT The games. An arrow shoT aT a TargeT aT a long disTance added To The awe oT The crowd. The playing oT The STar Spangled Banner beTore each game as The Tlag was hoisTed To The Top oT The pole wiTh only a spoTlighT on iT, gave an air oT seriousness To each game. As The music rang Through The s+ill nighT air a Teeling oT con- TenTmenT Tilled each specTaTor's hearT. During The ValenTine baslceTball game The band sponsored a preTTy half-Time show. WiTh lighTs low They played When My Dream BoaT Comes ln, as Two sTudenTs moved in rhyThm To The music in The cenTer oT The Tloor.
