You Had Here
There are many things about Shimer we shall never forget . . .
The lovely green trees keeping their constant vigil over
the campus, the grape arbor always reminding us
Mrs. Shimer . . .
Ivyclad Dearborn, sending forth melodies . . .
Venerable Hathaway and its grillg bustling Bennett Hall
at the edge of the golf course . . .
Stately Science Hall and the art building, the gym,
scene of teamwork . . .
Nlerry McKee with its gracious dining roomg the infirmary
'VVest Hall annex, home of the vital post-office and cool
green West Hall Lounge, social center at Shimer
The lofty library and its symbolic steps and Doric columns
And shining Metcalf tower thrusting upward to the sky . . .
This is Shimer, our college, our home.

Remember the days we've spent at Shimer . .
Days of learning, days of play, days dedicated to growth and
preparation for tomorrow . . .
Days ofijoy expressed through music, the music of laughter,
throbbing with the optimism of youth.
VVC were bound by spirit of unity but bound not so closely as to
overshadow our individuality . . .
Each one of us was part of the whole group,
But the whole group regarded us individually.
Remember how we rejoiced in the success of our friends . . .
And the thrill we felt when we realized that we were part of
a way of life.
WE belong to Shimer, and Shimer belongs to US.
