CRIMSON RAMBLER Wat, 71114 94 em The Rambler Conducts a F reshman on a Tour Of the Carthage Campus On your right you have the Men's Me- morial Dormitory. It Was built with hand- made bricks. They were made by clay modeling classes with clay taken off the shoes of victorious Carthage football teams. Behind that, and just to the right, is the house the Redmen built. The Field House is :1 campus jack-of-all-trades. There Coach Roscoe Scott and Henry 1. Keil laid the strategy for their 1947 football victories. There the Redmen basketball squads, under Coach Paul LaVinn, practiced. The intra- mural squads staged many a battle in the gym and the womenis physical education classes took their turn on the floor, with Miss Ruth Dahlgren busy on the sidelines directing. That two-story building emitting odors of formaldehyde is known familiarly as the buguhouse. Those wild-eyed individuals running around the campus with knives and scalpels are part of Dr. Paul Heringls detail of workers. They are out after new specimensithe others probably got away. Yould better watch your mandibles. Those Southern-style columns looming at you from across the driveway hold up the front of the library building. Prof. John Sanderson has stacks of National Geographies supporting the back. Students raid the shelves and have a big bonfire every year at Homecoming time. Freshmen are given free library permits Homecoming week so they can scare up enough material to make a good fire. If you donst get to know the place then, you soon. will become acquainted with it through other means. On up the walk is Old Main. Itls war surplus-Trojm War! That front window on the fourth is just right for suicide leaps. They say that on exam nights the ghosts of students who flunkecl out haunt the halls. But youlll forget all that, and 1 lot more that you should know. That explosion you just heard came from the Science Hall. Prof. Hansel Hughes was just showing some Students how he did it at Illinois. If you ever want to quiet your nerves, just go watch Prof. Archie Boatman explain a difficult problem to his class in higher mathematics. Hels famous for his composed air. Behind that crowd of people is the Com- mons. Some people eat there. On a clear day you can see to the end of the chow line. If there are several Puerto Rican fellows gathered on the steps, thatls North Hall. Mom Stewart takes care of her brood of girls there. That building all the boys are coming out of is Denhart Hall, the girls dormitory. Dean Anna Wind lives there with several girls. The parlors and reception room are favorite gathering places for the campus wolves. The rule of the house: Wipe your feet before you go in. Just across the lawn is the White House, home of the President. Itls rumored that he keeps a rope on the back porch for lassoing prospective students. The Home EC House is across the high- way. If you know the right people tgirls, that isy you can be the guest at a dinner or luncheon served there. Desperate bachelors often sit on the front steps waiting for some Home Ec major to finish her SChOOl- ing, so he can pop the well-knOWn questiOn. Those gentle strains of Slap Her Down Again, Pa are coming from the juke-box at the new union. After flunking a test, that is the advisable retreat. There you can bathe your tired mind in steaming cups of coffee, and welcome, soothing smiles of Warren and Bob Frazell, the two good- natured fellows who run the place. Herejs the Music Hall to the left. The Music Department faculty will teach you to play everything but the radio. That course comes in advanced physics. Here we are, back at Memorial Gateway. There lies Evergreen Walk in front of you. Here is Kissing Rock. Well. youlre on your owri now. Ah. Carthage. ..-..m.q,---;.-.g.;nw- .uev-zuz . -:--W:: t ----. ;;.-,-,-...; - ..
