Remember the first thing you saw at Brigham Young Un versity? Wasn ' t it the old en- trance gate at Fifth North and University? Gift of the 1912 graduates, the gate is sym- bolic of the beginning of a new life, opening before each per- son who sees it for the first time a new, exciting realm of experience. Even now, can ' t you feel its challenge — its in- vitation for you to explore the regions within? Suppose we steal a few minutes and take a flying trip around the cam- pus. First let ' s turn left to the Women ' s gym across the street. The Women ' s Gym How would you like to work a couple or two problems in mathematics ? OK — find the number of people who have danced here since its erection in 1913. Or take the number of basketballs that have been wornout in the gym and divide it by all the girls who here learned their head, shoulders, knees and toes . Give up? Well, anyhow, maybe you get the idea — that during its twen- ty-five years of existence the Women ' s Gym has been the hub of Brigham Young ' s wheel of social and physical activity.

u V You have lived here on the campus of Bngham Young Uni- versity the past year, so there is really no need to tell you how lovely it is. You strolled along the many walks the first lew days of the fall quarter, so you already know how delightfully gorgeous it is in autumn dress.

The same night you saw the Y on the east mountain brighten the valley when the Sophomores lighted it for Frosh benefit. And in the spring, myriads of brilliant blossoms. Truly the campus at Young University is colorful, a lovely place.

Originally the home of the administration offices, the building now hous- es the art, geology, education, chemistry, psychology, phys- ics and home economics de- partments. Room D, on the third floor, was the first Assem- bly hall of the Institution, and now serves as a combination study room, art gallery, and museum. Incidentally, the I ' ll meet you under the clock clock is found in the main hall, and and in the tower The Old Y Bell clangs out its message — it ' s twenty after and an- other class is over Thank the Lord I The Azteo Foiiiiiaiii Directly west of the main entrance to the Education Building we find the Aztec fountain. It ' s a good thing it ain ' t talkin ' If it could, it might reveal lots of things. It could tell your secrets — secrets whispered to your one and only {all five of them). It could tell of your ambitions and plans, your hopes and desires — confidences revealed as you paused on one of its sides. Or, again, it might embarrass those lazy Freshmen you ducked in its shallow depths . Fresh- men must whitewash the Y on the east mountain — or else. Gift of an early graduat- ing class, the fountain could greet as an old friend, every student since that time.
