The halls were never empty. These three girls discussed the lecture on salesmanship that Mr. Rippelmeyer gave in his applied psychology class. Gen¬ eral, applied, and educational psychology were part of the curriculum . . . Break time came at 8:30 each evening when the students took a 10 minute leave from the classroom. The halls were the chief places of refuge; however, others pre¬ ferred the college lounge while some strolled around the cam¬ pus and caught a breath of fresh air . . . The fine arts room was filled at night, too, with painters, sculptors, and other creators of fine art ... It was seventh-inning stretch time for this night schooler, who simply had a hard time staying awake. A day of hard work plus three or four hours of evening class added up to a very full day for many of the pioneers . . . The JC library was a favorite study haunt in the evening, as well as in the day. Many day students utilized the quiet library at night in order to study for tests to be taken the next day . . . Did Keats or Wordsworth write that piece? This problem confronted two English literature protegees as they took a break in the lounge. ... A group of teachers grabbed a quick snack in the cafeteria while awaiting the start of the night session. Many day teachers also taught in the evening . . . Night school had to be postponed a couple of times in late February due to heavy snowfalls. Here some Dutchmen arrived early for school in order to beat the ex¬ pected blizzard . . . Even at night, Mrs. Lowery was still helping people find their way around JC.
