ICI ITY Castle in the sky surrounded by clouds of in- dustry . . . Drexel . . . the hub from which radiate spokes for the wheel . . . graduates to industry . . . raw material being led into the hub . . . stu- dents in all phases of production come by El, trolley, bus, train, car, on foot, day after day, month after month, year after year, until polished fine, and ready for consumption by the surround- ing furnaces of industry. It is the daily variables that create nostalgic memories: In-between trips to Cavanauglfs where many an anecdote was related . . . cokes in the Den with that dreamboat for Saturday night's dance . . . glimpses of television over at the Stu- dent Building . . . long walks to Abbotts' for that double decker deluxe . . . dashes to windows to hear sirens screaming on Chestnut Street, 32nd Street, any street . . . the rumble of wealth- burdened freight cars on all sides . . . juke box reveries at CharIey's . . . soot-coated clothes from the power houses of a mechanistic society . . . late breakfast prepared en masse in Linton's kitchens . . . creased fenders over narrow spots in limited grounds . . . sparks and grinding as small lessees in the Pugh Building plug on . . . icy steps in winter months . . . humid conversions as summer beats down. All of which aid in our preparations for becom- ing a part of the daily whirl of a relentless economy.
