This Is Our Alma Mater I here is Something about the campus and the buildings at armuille that makes us love the school always from the first time tee come up tke Snort walk to tke IKotunda. J- erhapS it is the calm, quiet appearance of the long, low, red-brick buildings beneath the shade or tall maple trees, perhaps it is the worn doorsitl of the ever-buSu f otunda and the wait the steps wind tip to tin- Second and third floors inside. Or it could be sometlu ' ng in the atmosphere that makes us realize how manu girls through the gears have entered these buildings with a feeling of awe and left them with a heart fill of devotion for tin ' s, their J4lma i V later, l l e are proud to be among them.

I ' ll see you in The Rotunda The Rotunda was the meeting place. There we met our friends to chat between classes and to gossip and read mail before meals and met our dates for church and for dances. A dozen times a day we went into the Home Office to look on the mantel for notes and notices and telegrams, to consult the little black book for room numbers, to talk with Miss Royall or Mrs. McCoy. The Hanging of the Greens at Christ ' mas and the Lantern Parade at Graduation took place in the Rotunda, the scene of great activity at all times. Fay Johnson and Budgie Butzner talk Louise Bell and Flee Hawthorne into buying tickets to Club ' 45. Patsy Connelly ' s table is surprised by the camera. While Mrs. McCoy phones, Myrtle Lee Holt and Esther Wilson wait. Jo Eades, Evelyn Ruggles, and Martha Patterson get the 10:00 mail.
