The west steps of Maeser hill collectively are one good reason for attractive figures of Y coeds. They are usually an impediment to those desir- ing class punctuality, may even be dangerous under a coat of winter ice, and would receive generous chastise- ment if they did not deprive most critics of their wind. They look nice to those not climbing them and are for- given of many things because they lead the way to lovers ' lane. V. The Maeser Memorial houses both school and stu- dent administration. Its posi- tion on the edge of the hill, its classic beauty, its white- ness, and the night lights up- on it make it a valley land- mark. On top is the school observatory. Its front steps provide the standard back- ground for school publicity pictures and are a favored vantage point from which to view a sunset.

Dignified and substantial, its worn sandstone steps testi- fying the entrance of thou- sands into higher learning, the Education building symbolizes the ivy-covered-brick-wall division of B.Y.U. tradition. It is the olde st building still used by the school, and ap- pears as unconcerned by new arrivals in the campus build- ing family as by the casual disrespect of the daily throng of students in its halls and rooms. The archway connects the College and Education build- ings. It is the crossroads of the campus, and Its doors are seldom quiet on a school day. It shelters the official bulletin board which daily attracts those who wish to know what Is going to hap- pen. Go Inside, a turn to the right leads to the bookstore, or College hHall, or the Little Theatre. To the left is the hall of the education building, favorite meeting place and unofficial union room. ary — iiii M ' I 1 1 -r. - -1 4:-J- f nirC --fe-— , r MaHrii Jgp BH Cl J

Following the tree-border- ed road, one sees beyond the Maesar building, the Brimhall building, newest completed structure. The shot is typical of the uppercampus — serene, with lawns reaching to the edge of the road, a mountain backround, roominess be- tween buildings shady, with sunshine filtering through the foliage to form patterns on the earth and the whole at- mosphere inviting a saunter. The decorative aspects of the new walk on the north- west of the hill are at once apparent, even to the casual observer. As Its Intrinsic beauty Is augmented by the TImpanogos background and an occasional coed, It Is a spot often used for an hour ' s loafing on a sunny afternoon or the objective of a quick pre-eleven-thlrty stroll on a moonlit eve. ■1 i 1 10
