Going to an exotic island for vacation or just going home for the weekend can mean something special. There are. however, little-noticed places on campus that can mean something special. These places are not obsolete. They are just taken for granted. One of these places is Peace Beach. This grassy area Is used for many purposes. On several occasions, the cafeteria staff supplies picnic dinners to be eaten on the beach. After we devour these dinners, we play a series of games and take part in various events, in the spring, a special set of games played on Peace Beach are labeled Spring Fling. But the main thing girls think about when Peace Beach is mentioned is getting a tan. Girls He out in the sun in a variety of bathing suits to enhance the golden hue of their skins. Another special place on campus Is the front lawn. On a warm, sunny day, the likelihood of seeing a student reading a book on front campus is fairly high. Occasionally, if the sun is too bright or too hot, the students are seen sitting under a tree In the shade. Sometimes, a student can be seen with her boyfriend, sitting In the shade or on a bench. Finally, the most special place on campus Is a girl ' s own room. This room is her solace and comfort. After a long day of classes, she can retreat to her room and relax. This Is her home away from home. She decorates the room with posters and objects that reflect her personality. Usually, her roommate is a comfort in times of sorrow and a friend in times of happiness. Her room, the front lawn, and Peace Beach are three places that mean something special to Peace students. These places may be labeled as little-noticed places just because people take them for granted and do not consider their true worth — yet these places are important. Their mere existence helps to shape the environment and add to the personality of Peace college. The Peaceful Places 16
