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.

From Sha espeare to Gregg Library Hall All of us knew Library Hall. Perhaps we took typing or office practice or geography in the basement. Certainly we struggled through freshman history, English, or chemistry on the main floor, or studied sewing or art on second. Some of us lived on third floor, a dormitory hall known for its fun, friendliness, and Freshmen. If so, how well we remember the brisk run across the ■bridge to Main, going down the dark but convenient back stairway to the class ' rooms, and the light from the library clock shining into the windows. Sugar Scott and Shirley Pierce work intently on art. Busy, too, are the girls in the office practice room. Even in the con- fusion of the assembling class, Virginia Parsons and Jane Smith smile over letters. Preparing for a place test in geo- graphy are Eloise Golladay, Pat Dodl, and Elizabeth Walls.
