MAI B ILDI G Say to almost any Drexel graduate, Remember our days in school? and he, with a reminiscent smile, will formulate a picture of the Great Courtg for although we have fairly divergent interests as a student body, we all have the Court in common. The Court scene has that new look too, for aside from the feminine styles, the entire freshman class seemed to come directly from high school, and to bring the added drive and zest of the younger set. More and more, the veterans of the past few years are disappearing from the social whirl of college life. Does anyone miss a single day in the Court at one o'clock? There isn't a seat to he had, even on the lower steps. Not to be there means that you miss seeing a preview of the week's social events. Every day witnesses that revived school spirit turned toward campaigns for membership in our organizations, promotion for dances and lodge parties, or cheers for our athletic teams. Where else do the outward signs of our student social life show so strongly? We waste a few hours there on occasion, but who will ever regret those lost hours, for the friendships and plans fostered there are as enduring as the Great Court itself. -4 ' -iv . .LnL LH-, 1' A-G 1 4-,nfl 4 A ' c..,:.Q

NNEXES During the past few years, Drexel- has been faced with the problem of finding adequate class- room space to accommodate the ever-increasing number of students enrolling at D. I. T. Ob- viously, the only answer to this problem was ex- pansion of the present facilities. First, the Board of Trustees purchased an old Friends' school at 35th Street and Lancaster Ave- nue. This building, now known as the Lancaster Annex contains drawing rooms, locker rooms, seven classrooms and an auditorium which pro- vides additional space for organizational meetings. It is here that freshmen engineers ,Spend the greater Part of theirfirst three terms in school. Recently, a snack bar has been added to -augment the rather meager campus facilities there. Another addition was that of the Psychology Building, on 32nd Street. This former dwelling now houses the Psychology and Music Depart- ments as well as' the'Military Departnientiand the R.0-T.C.UDiI.A ' - y ' . , The most recentladdition approved by, -the Board, of Trustees was-the Quonsetihuts on the field adjacent to Curtis, Hall.. The huts, already familiar to the 'vets,'? soon hecamea definite part of the school. One has been made into a metal- lurgyl -laboratory, 'While the rest serve as extra classrooms used by almost every -department in school. ' A
