Out of our parents ' cars, baggage and all, we walked up the front path — past the spruces on the front lawn — to the hollow-worn, wooden steps ,ol Ressmeyer Hall. That was on a vaguely-remem- bered September morning some few, short years ago . . . And now, as we look back into the manv months we spent there, we find that it takes time to enumerate all the details of our teen-aged days, both at this school and in the dorm ... at a quick glance we only remember Ressmeyer as the home of one big whirling atmosphere, the atmosphere of youth - - packed with all the meaning and charm that that word holds . . . Every inch of Ressmeyer . . . from its front walk ... up its winding staircase, ... to its sun roof - ours to have and to remember . . .
