In the daylight, many students shunned the indoor lounges in favor of the seemingly less comfortable seats at the edge of the grass plot in the quadrangle. When classes were in session, the squatters were few, but when classes broke, it was quite a different story. Nights presented a similar scene. The whiteness of the buildings was given almost a ghostlike appearance when the lights came on. The lampposts recently added to the quadrangle further improved the appearance of the Northeastern campus at night. I 11 P S 9PP ' | - Bw ■.■» ■« -

Heave-ho, up they go, and up they went. A bit of the jungle came to Northeastern with the arrival of eight baby Linden trees. True, they gave the eanipus no more than a modest bit of green, but they certainly were far more preferable than the iron curtain that had buttressed the area previ- ously. The eight sentinels of the NT. campus took their time in bloom- ing, but when they did, they served another purpose in addition to improving the looks of the quadrangle. During the oppres- sively hot days of the five week terms, students often could be seen lolling under the trees, en- joying their shade. HH
