In the still ol the evening — everything from rock and roll to Romberg RYTHYM AND MELODY You said if with music this year at Ohio University. Whether it was your dubious tones during the evening shower or the way you con- tracted the whistle itch on the college Green at dusk — it was music. If you were only a spectator, you heard Dave Brubeck, Ray Anthony, the Four Freshmen and Fred Waring.

CAMPUS VIEW ... Or the time Willie got seven overdue notices from the library before he even knew he had the damn book! There were other Willies ' and Sams ' and Helens ' during the year.

The Last Days of Ewing Hall was the theme for hundreds of commerce and journalism students who still could take no immediate delight in the prospects for their future home across the street from the Campus. The Kissing Circle was, of course, repainted — and reused. And you still feared the time you might be forced to cut an en- tire morning ' s classes while waiting for coffee in a local beanery. As each weekend approached the cafes were playing to capacity houses up- town, and classes weren ' t. Canned music.

The necessary thought and research beforehand and the later inquiries of your aroused interest did not necessarily take place in the Center. But here, more g-t La o nywriPrp else on campus, you discussed, and decisions were gufied and lives were shaped. Even when you came to the Center to dance or to bowl, seriousK sometimes lightly.
