Divided into two separate gyms, McCormick Gymnasium is the center of learning for men and women in health and physical education. The men ' s gym, being the larger of the two, accommodates all indoor sports events. Cook Hall is the home of the Business Education Department. The building also contains a gymnasium, a music room, several practice rooms, and, in the tower, the campus radio studios. The most modern classroom building on campus is Fairchild Hall. It provides the latest in equipment for physically handi- capped and mentally retarded pupils and for special education majors. The University Health Center and infirmary are found here.

The second oldest building on campus. North Hall houses the English and Geography Departments. Sharing the upper floor are the Index and the Vidette offices, and in the basement art students concentrate on creative activity. Located behind the Metcalf Training School, the Felmley Hall of Science contains three floors of classrooms and laboratories complete with cadavers. Here the students of the natural sciences find challenge and knowledge. For nearly a century Old Main has been the principal class- room building. Music, social science, foreign languages, educa- tion, mathematics, and speech classes are held here. Four Coiners, on the main floor, is a favorite meeting place.

Walker Hall Singing those washday blues are Billye Obst, Barbara Bernard, Marilyn Cronic, and Janice Anderson of Walker Hall, but the smiles indicate it ' s no job at all with new automatic washers. Our newest arrival on campus is Walker Hall. At the Founder ' s Day Dinner on February 23, Acting President Arthur H. Larsen accepted the hall on be- half of the University. Named for Lewis M. Walker, Teachers College Board chairman, the dormitory cele- brated its dedication by opening its vast doors and halls for public admiration and praise. Housing 375 freshman women and 33 junior and senior honor residents, the dormitory established an active agenda which was an impressive record for its first year. A masquerade party, homecoming decora- tions, and a Christmas formal highlighted the activi- ties of the residents. Modern furnishings and contemporary design throughout the building mark it as a distinctly new and attractive addition to the campus. Directors of the dormitory are Miss Bette Soldwedel and Miss Visitacion Miguel. Bridge, anvonc? When time permits, honor residents Judy Renfro, Sandy Umbanhowar, and Lenore Renner assume the lady-of-leisure pose which includes a bridge game. A birds-eve view of Walker Hall is indicative of its spacious- ness.
