Life in College Includes — The Place EVANSVILLE COLLEGE — the PLACE — is an institute of learning, and we, the students, are here to study and to learn. But — that is not all. The buildings surrounding the familiar horseshoe drive represent more than a school. Here is the springboard to the future, a preparation for a lifetime vocation. The student pictures his life in college as a chance for advancement through his social life, along with his academic training ; friendships made here are lasting and valued. Faculty and administration, to the stu- dents, are not dead beings, but live, helpful and friendly persons who make college challenging and en- joyable. The students are proud of their college grounds and of the seasonal views; the colorful autumn leaves which decorate the campus in the fall; the barren trees, made picturesque by the infrequent snow flur- ries in the winter; the holiday scene. with multi-colored lights gleaming through the glass panes; and the blossoming shrubs, flowers and trees which turn the PLACE into a sweet- scented, lazy park in the spring. The quaintest scene, however, is the one which brings the campus to life — the PEOPLE. Evansville Col- lege ' s enrollment of 1400 includes a majority of in-town students, linking this streetcar college in close bonds with the city and community. Clas- sified with the in-town students are the foreign students who come from abroad to make Evansville their temporary home and the College their center of life. The out-of-town stu- dents, with few exceptions, are from the Tri-State. . the. place .

. . . The People . . . The Events . . . INTERMINGLING FROM DAY TO DAY in classes, school activities and extracurricular events, this co-educational student body branches out into the numerous organizations, becoming fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, independents or members of the veterans ' association. Rivalry and competition are stiff during the big campus elections, but at all other times the groups work together to promote the best and most outstanding examples of Life-in-College. Vespers, coffee hours, recitals, formal dances, sweater hops, theater productions and many other pro- grams are staged weekly, monthly or quarterly, providing a variety of out-of -class activities — the EVENTS. With the opening of fall classes, also comes sports. The crackling roar of the bonfire sets off Home- coming, a most exciting and challenging event to the students. The pigskin spirit soars; students and faculty attend pep sessions for the big team. The Hoosiers are still hysterical when it comes to a good rough ' n ' tough game of basketball. Cheerlead- ers and pep bands were on hand to boost school spirit. Starting with the new year and on into spring are rush, the campus va- riety show, the Military Ball, the spring play and the annual Awards- Mother ' s Day on May 1, with spring sports mixed in. With commencement activities and graduation exercises, another school year is completed — another year of learning and fun is past. The PLACE still looms in the circle ; the PEOPLE will return and the EVENTS with them — • for all are magnificent parts of LinC, Life-in-College. i. THE SCENT DFVICTDRY . the events 3
