Music Center looks like a scene from Hansel anil Gretel, but its functions are highly prac- tical as well as aesthetic. All voice and instru- mental lessons are held at Musi( Centei which is also the home of the Opera Workshop, the Chatham Chorus and Chapel Choir, concerts and recitals, sons; practices, and arts seminars. The present seniors remember when Wednesday after- noon orientation sessions and t lass meetings were held in Music Center. Braun, talk and Coolidge are in their third year ol service and are now beginning to have a familiar, settled ait about them, Braun shelters the administration, while Falk and Coolidge are centers of public affairs as well as class activities. Arts cards can now be gathered without leaving the campus — throughout the year varied art exhibits have been a feature in Falk, and have ranged from an exhibit of Early American prac- tical aits to a selection ol fantastic landscapes. Even students who are graduated from the arts absorb culture while sauntering ' to class. Coolidge lecture hall was the scene of fdeas in Transi- tion, the lecture series sponsored by the Alum- nae Association. Informal classes like the creative writing class taught by Dr. Eldredge relax in the small conference rooms in Falk and Coolidge, and the larger basic curriculum courses meet in the chocolate-brown or terra-cotta lecture rooms. Faculty offices are scattered throughout these two buildings, where faculty and students meet for conferences, academic or otherwise.

Oh, in be a Bio 01 Chem majoi and spend long afternoons peering diligentl) through a microscope or waril) juggling test tubes! Buhl Hall is the home ol these happy scientists who do spend their waking hours just as these biologists pic tureil here. I in 111 is also I he sc cue o I 111), and 11. lectures, Sophomore class meetings and the science library, and ol course it shelters none other than Chatham ' s first lady, Susie ! And mam ol those not slaving awa on world-shaking experiments spend similar hours delving through perfectly scintillating volumes of line print in Buhl ' s neighbor, the Laughlin Memorial Library. Equipped with guides to all matter ol strange topics, the main loom ol the library continually harbors main sets ol bowed heads and glasses, while the browsing room covets all scuts ol weary workers. The library also marks the beginning and the end ol all student tu- torials; lor it is here that one ' s preconceived idea reaches its first step to- ward concrete fulfillment, where it grows through increasing knowledge and where its final product is laid away to rest forever in well-deserved peace.
