Our fraternity football field laid to waste by enterprising workmen is now converted to a home for Newcomb ' s young ladies. Audrey Ayo and Linda Muller take full advantage of the summer to work on projects financed by a research grant. They waste little time, not even summers. After several long and involved years of study Anthony Macaluso receives his Master ' s Degree in chemistry. The heat of the summer detracts nothing from his feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction. 14 I

New Orleans, a city of artists and culture, dis- plays the work of its talented citizens in any available space in the French Quarter. New Orleans Serves Country As Gateway To Ttie Americas A city of varied flags and influences, of the old world and the new, of French and Spanish and English . . . New Orleans, a metropolis, a cosmopolitan city, a living example of Amei ' ica ' s melting pot . . . The various groups and countries, at first, developed their own distinct and separate communities, never crossing any boundary to join with any other group. Yet with the passage of time and the growth of un- derstanding, the boundary line dissolved and the many became one . . . Today the entire community as a whole, as one, shares in the benefits of the docks, of Michoud, of one city hall, of one libraiy, of me French Quarter. Striving, working, creating together, the in- habitants of varied areas and customs contributed to a city, a rich, a vast, a beautiful heritage able to be enjoyed by all. Such a city, such accomplishments, such a culture are developed only with understand- ing and cooperation as brothers in a world of differences. Bourbon Street of mid-afternoon differs significantly from Bourbon Street of mid-night. The daylight hours barely suggest the night-life that comes alive at twilight. 13

i The Tulane Day Campers have no regrets about their conversion of the Newcomb Quadrangle into a summer golf course. They enjoy every minute of their attempts to become professionals. The summer student differs remarkably from the winter student as is evidenced by this young lady ' s leisurely study jnethod. Unfamiliar Faces Invade Campus During Summer Months Graduation . . . trunks and packing . . . heat and humidity . . . rushing to catch that plane . . . and finally good-byes . . . the campus is deserted, the classes empty, the University Center quiet. Then, like a burst of thunder, the race is on again. New and unfamiliar faces place their belongings in what last spring we called our room. Summer school students take over our spot in the library, our school, our campus. A rather leisurely air pervades the students in burmuda shorts as they walk to classes. The hush of exams is broken by the spring of the diving board as the camp counselor instructs his pupils . . . Little girls in black leotards race up the steps of the Newcomb gym to their dance class as the Tulane campers invade the baseball diamonds. Suddenly, the whole campus takes on a new look as the face-lifting program gets into full swing . . . New dorms seem to spring up from the very spot where we played football last fall. Time speeds by . . . Unbelievably it ' s fall again and that first student with suitcase in hand surveys the campus wearing that familiar smile of I ' m back at last . . . Classes just around the corner. 15
