12 Moods and A COLLEGE IS A QUIET WORLD -in mid-July, that is, after summer school students have left to beat out their assignments and before others have returned to sign up for the fall semester. The Quad is emptied of life, even the eucalyptus leaves hanging listlessly in the sultry air. Who- ever must invade these walls plots his route among the cooling shadov s. Already, yellowing leaves drift gently to the ground, crackling under the toe of the occasional visitor. Somewhere a door slams shut. In the distance, church bells chime the passing hours. Only the screeching of an indignant blue jay disturbs this cloistered tranquility. AT REST— It was a hot day, and Ed Blanton and Eleanor Simonsen paused in the shade to rest and cool off before continuing with Freshman Orientation activities. CAT-NAP — It took some doing, but Regina Sulli- van managed to catch forty winks right in the middle of the noontime Tigers Den. DOG-GONE— It was too hot for any self-respecting beast, but Carolyn Hoertsch just had to study. They found a spot of shade and a patch of cool grass. : B P

-t •w ' ' r , m THE CAMPUS, at first so strange and confusing, soon acquired a complfcx personality that varied with tlie time of day. For those who arrived early in the morning, it was a quiet, rested place, cool and clean and sweet in the fresh morning air. The click of heels on the sidewalks out- side, the slamming of car doors, the salutations called across the Guad — all gave promise of the activity that soon would descend upon the campus. By mid-morn- ing the campus was a busy, friendly spot. Students swarmed across the Quad, pausing in clusters for con- versation or cooperative study. In the Pit, they gathered at tables, com- muning over a cup of coffee, a bummed cigarette. In the Tigers Den they lined up at the snack bar, re- treated to tables to lunch and chat. in Earnest MAN ' S BEST FRIEND— Wuppy the Puppy surveys the noontide Quad. This is a dog ' s life?

Actions A COLLEGE IS A NOISOME WORLD-especially from eight o ' clock on of any day that classes are in session. Outside the Quad, horns honk and hot rods gun their way down the avenue. Across the campus, a shrill feminine voice halts a friends on her way to class. Down in the Pit masculine guff- aws rise above the usual hum of late break- fasters. From the open door of a classroom come the stentorian tones of an instructor, making sure students don ' t miss a point for lack of oral em- phasis. Phones jangle in faculty offices, chairs scrape on the floor, drawers bang. Education is scarcely a silent process. 13 STEAMED UP-We don ' t know what did it, but though the weather was cool, something prompted George Smith to get pretty hot under the collar. He expressed himself well, too. CHEERS— Nothing whips a crowd into noisy enthusiasm like a long pass or a quick run through the line. Hailing some such play are Carol McCurdy, Paty Sanborn, Steve AAcKeel, Steve Connell, Karen Giles, and Rett Sanborn. Tiger victories kept the fans in an uproar most of the time. They had plenty to cheer about.
