From the time we were “little bunnics” onward, there are many things never to be forgotten — there were those first encouraging words,.““I°clla,perhaps.you should give up.archi- tecture...” Then came bathhouses, polaroid windows, foot- points, “flying bridges”, and a small town for 30,000. There was the “Sleepy Hollow Gazette”—and other crawling things, bus stations, motels and hydraulic lifts - Mr. Hornbostel will be a little late—there was Rickenback’s night club—Mr. Jack- son’s anguishing “Arp!” —and “Dear Danny...somehow it disappeared” We had Mr. Piza’s unfaltcring lectures—Wood and Steel—Collins with Mr, McGuiness—“Extrapolate . . .” — “How about that, Bill Johnke, T guess you know more about that than I do?”—Tony Egner’s harmonica, Murphy and his hats, Twitchell’s time-tables, Malasits’ trees, and Dabrolet’s “Oh, what a sordid existence this is!””—all are ours. Then came those sizzling-six-week wonders—the shopping center and 1000 bed hospital (with an exhausted architects’ ward)—there was the Bertha Underhang Memorial followed by Mr. Breger’s “‘Perhaps this should have been a project to see who could design the best Barcelona Pavilion”.—plus police and fire stations, thermal houses, and “All T got is space and statements”, We had Mrs. Moholy-Nagy’s slides, in-and out of sequence, town planning class under the tree in the rain with Mr. Grossi, Jim Collins and Joe Hnatov in the unending search for an. A.LA. workshop. There was.Mr. Katz and his combination fiddle and numerous nig ht-befores and morning- afters. And finally, as in all classes, there were those familiar words “Anyone going down for a spot of tea’”’, and with the speed of light and a cloud of dust we were oft to the snakepit...the lounge to. you, sonny.
