 7cme aad Other scenes, too. can return . . . bits of moments not memorable in themselves but part of these years that passed within so little time, in such a space as this. Tables, chairs, shelves and silence . . . life slowed to the tempo of turning pages and discoveries of our own and others. Or the student lounge (Florence Becker. Marie Gosselin. Alice Taylor. Earl Halverson. above) . . . sanctuary of some sort from the traditional student antagonist—the faculty—and training area . . . sometimes battle arena . . . for social graces, disgraces and a canasta hand correctly played. Triumphs here were as real as any. Some matters require more material—conferences produce correspondence upon issues, conquer problems, prevent confusions. Day in and day out provided focal point of clarification of many such matters for Rheta Edsall. Elsie Holmes. Bob Carbone (above, center, opposite page). Lorna Epperson. Miss Rich (top right, opposite page) curry culture from literature. And part of it all was getting there and back. . .space and time expand when you walk, and all that distance from the front steps stretches without the aid of some such conttrivance as the bus: business or pleasure, bistro or palace, all moved closer for a dime (bottom opposite page).

Two wings of sparkling colors, bright cleanliness . . . three floors of cordiality, cheerfulness . . . Eastern's first dormitory. Time for building’s gone and Mary Hankins. Barbara Berquist. Jo Driscoll, Donna Jeppe-sen, Betty Brannigan. Wilma Dowlin. Doris Kenyon. Mari Ann Thoresen. Elaine Parsons, Mamie Doyen. Alice Higginson. Joyce Golder. Betty Rasmussen and Norma Strasburg find time for living (below) sunning themselves on the front steps. Somewhat essential for dorm living is the dining hall, fact well known by Shirley Johnson. Irna Mein-hardt, Joyce Peterson, Joyce Golder. Doris Kenyon and Evelyn Jackson (bottom page). Mrs. Kelley, housemother, and her keys are also an integral part of Eastern's dorm (bottom opposite page). Modernistic and livable lounge reflecting horizontal emphasis given by rims characterizes design of the dorm (opposite page). Looking down dorm hallway are Barbara Ovelup, Marion Shammel. Peggy Archer, Sharon Johnson. Lois Snively and Florajean Blackard (right, opposite page). For months students watched land clearing, basement excavating and bricks stacking in structural patterns, wondering what changes a dorm would create at Eastern. More participation in campus organizations? Greater interest in social affairs? More of feeling of unity? Now, dorm's solidly a part of campus life and the questions arc being answered in a positive way. fan
