C As THE CAl2DINAL,S EYES PERCEIVE EXTERIOR SCENES Approaching the building from the east, a student comes rapidly into an atmosphere of higher education, for the great Roman pillars, rising majestically above the doors of the build- ing suggest academic learning, once they are in full view. At noon, the students gather around the doors beneath these pillars in groups to gossip, to- re- call the sad experiences of the morning, and to watch others wear far away looks for their be- loveds. During the football season, spectacular scenes frequently may be seen at the night football games, where beneath powerful lights brighten- ing the sky, toiling teams make dazzling plays. E The above picture describes where words fail, just how the building appears under a fresh blanket of snow. As spring gradually gains the show from Ol' Man VVinter, the golden lll1C of the many and varied forms of the plant life known as the dandclions greet the optics of the student body. VVhat a pretty sight it is to see our football heroes, basketball wizards, and some of the rest of our gang, moving joyously about banter- ing with the self-appointed reception commit- tees, at the approaches of the building. The warm weather marked the beginning of the open air taxis which ehugged and rattled themselves around to the rear of the building where they were left to the mercy of the ele- ments until their nurses', would again emerge from the building. Last, but not least, is our own Lover's Lane on the west side of the building, along which spring's converts blissfully stroll. NE As THE CARDINAL OPTICS SCAN IT's SACRED Roosr Various perches meet the eye of one at- tending Junior College. First, may linger in memory, the chapel scenes, where the entire student body have so often gathered, both on the lower floor and in balcony. Sometimes in the cafeteria line one may see marathon prowess displayedg and at the tables many happy faces showing radiant smiles. The next scene, a scene that is not often a quiet one, stands out in the memories of every student. In this scene are gathered the intelli- gentsia. Visitors are always welcome in the Junior College study hall. Gatherings of students provide scenes where- ever they areg be they in hallway, on stairs, or in classrooms. Some students are always happy, some are always making up after quarrels which never seem to end. We must not overlook the dramaties room where many scenes are rellearsedg nor the jour- nalism room where not a few are written down. The last, but not least of scenes are to be viewed in the office, where playful collegians, forgetting they are beyond high school, continue arguments with office employees, started years' before, over unexcused absences. Thus, Cardinals may scan their sacred roost with its many happy recollections. .1.0.i.
