SENIOR WALK Did you know that the walk from College Avenue to tlie AJ Biiiljni is Senior Walk? Traditionally, only seniors should walk down its historic length past the old sundiah From registration to Graduation we kept in close contact with the Lynch-Riune Aiirtiniistratwn Biiiliinig. And what do we remember most? Of course, classes! We spent many hours listening to lectures here. Remem- ber chapels, assemblies, and other programs in Alknnon Chupel Everyone liked to sit in the balcony. Wonder why? Seniors were privileged characters. The Dean and most members of the staff have offices in this edifice. From the first day to the final hour, it ' s the Ad Bnildnijf. In the spring a young Bobcat ' s fancy turns to thoughts of the library. Not true, you say? Well, maybe the thoughts aren ' t there in this respect, hut we spent a lot of hours there in the spring, didn ' t we? Term papers, books, outside readings, current events, baseball scores ... we had to keep up and the place to keep up was the library . . . the Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library. Some of the larger classes were held there. Sometimes the hours were tedious and tiring, but we ' ll never forget them.
