v-., living And learning M Showalter Hall as seen from the famous Eastern pillars. The long walk up to the entrance is known as Hello Walk and is an Eastern tradition in itself. Everyone always says hello and gives each other a welcome smile on this walk. The administration building contains the adminis- trative offices, classrooms, natural and applied science laboratories, the college auditorium, and the psycho- logical clinic. Named for a former president of Eastern VVash- ington College of Education, Noah David Showalter, it was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the first adminis- tration building. It is the heart of the campus and very close to the students as well as to the instructors, administrators, and alumni. 1 SI al' Li' Senior Hall, snapped in the middle of the winter snows, houses the East- ern girls not living in the new dormi- tory. Located across the lovely lawns of Showalter, it is easily accessible for the girls who have classes in the administration building. One of the traditions the hall is noted for is their all campus coffee hour held every Monday. Once a year the girls sponsor a tolo in their living room. Mrs. Newton is the housemother for the girls. She had two student assistants this year, Rowena Riggle and Vi Medak. Named after another former president of the college is Hargreaves Library. This beautiful two-story structure is in mod- ern Roman style terra cotta and brick with tile roof. The building is air condi- tioned with recirculating air, and is pro- vided with a cooling system for summer use. Besides the big wall to wall reading room, thc library has shelves of books for all use, as well as a photograph lab- oratory in the basement. Classrooms are located on the first floor.
