Is Our Home... Just as physical features often indicate an individual’s personality, a college campus reveals the personality of the school. The setting of the Sul Ross campus, on SR mountain, displays Sully’s western flair. Stately buildings provide dignity, the local plants furnish an original touch, and the students contribute the friend¬ liness. As the campus continues to grow (with such additions as this year’s new cafeteria and girls’ dormitory), the changes are made in keeping with the familiar traditional style. Sully’s campus is one of its most important public images; it is a symbol of the Sul Ross personality. ie West Texas le bookstore and The Administration Building, the oldest and largest building on the Sul Ross campus, is the home of the offices of the President, Deans, Registrar, and Business Manager. The Sul Ross Post Office is also located there. 5

PREPARATION Alpine is a silent place when the students have gone home. But the college hill is still busy. The year does not begin when the students arrive on the campus. Throughout the months of the previous year, the faculty, the administration, and the city are planning what is to be the 1962-63 school term. As August is finished and September begins, the tempo of activity quickens. The bang of hammers, the swish of paint, the buzz of floor polishers—all these sounds and a dozen more mean Sul Ross is getting ready to receive her children. Actually, this school year began with the graduation at the end of the summer term.
