The Margaret Coker Lawton Music Building is one of the loveliest and most modern buildings on our campus. It is detailed in beauty of lawns and shrub- bery, with the interior designed for comfort and use- fulness. Since the completion of the Music Building in 1952, it has been the scene of many campus activities. The most familiar room to Coker students is a central re- cital hall in which are held the music majors' recitals, concerts by visiting artists, glee club rehearsals, and Civilization music lectures. Flanking this hall are the studios and practice rooms, busily engaged during the day by students, professors, and ntunerous young chil- dren of H artsville who take regular lessons during the week. Classes in music theory, history and literature are conducted in the theory room, which is also used for octet practice. Not only is the Music Building home to all Coker music students, but it is also the frequent gathering place for many cultural functions of the community. THE MUSIC The Recital Hall is used for both student and visiting artists' re citals and for the Civ. music lectures. - A ev' -, - was .aaa -J-si M. V V ': W FU' .s R, ' l LU

NORTH-scene of many a sophomore frolic. Look over there. See that white building? That's South, one of the sophomore dormitories. I'll take you through the other sophomore dorm, N orrh, on the way to Memorial, where the freshmen live. And so some Cokernut hopefuls got the outsider's view of dormitory life. Not too exciting, they were probably thinking. They should have listened to me. I am a dormitory student and I know what a dorm really is. Six dormitories strong we stand at Coker-Memo rial, Central, New Central, North, South, and the new- est addition, Carolina Hall.
