Pvo yiCv»i When the students return to school next fall, especially the men, they will find that the sand, the bricks, and the dirt shall have been cleared away, and the new men’s resi- dence hall ready for them to use. However, before next fall, the new cafeteria will have fed hundreds of summer school students. The new men’s residence hall is said to he conservatively modern in design. It has rounded corners, glass brick in the walls of the reception room, and in the alcoves in the dining hall. In the main reception room, there will be a fire place where men may warm their backs before setting out to classes. Besides the new men’s hall, there have been some significant changes about the campus, The driveways behind the Administration building were changed to increase the park- ing space. Some of the trees, large ones too, had to be moved. The winding sidewalk on the northeast corner of the campus had one of its kinks taken out; and now it follows a graceful curved line up to the north entrance of the Administration building.

the grass gets green. The leaves on the trees and ivy get large and shady. The campus is cool. These are poetic qualities. Students notice them, and enjoy them. However, there have been times when the weeds were more prominent than the grass. Summer term students often find the July and August winds rather warm, in spite of the shade trees. Campus atmosphere isn’t always as balmy as this picture indicates. It isn’t composed entirely of ivy covered buildings and sunny re- laxation. The two girls in the picture are probably going to the library to study. Or perhaps they are headed for a classroom. If they go to the library, they will find that Miss Jennings has the fans turned on. During the summer term,” a student once said, you’d never know it was the same school.” This student meant that there was a different group of people on the campus. They are older and more mature. They have come back to school to renew their certificates, or to work on a better certificate. Some are teachers who feel that going to school is a vacation; but most of them are serious minded young men and women, twenty or thirty years old. Teaching to them has become a profession, and any knowledge they can acquire will give them a chance for getting a better job. 12

 What We Look Like” is not quite the correct title for this section. Perhaps it should be What We Look Like When We Go To A Photographer's Studio,” We usually do not assume the dignified atmosphere suggested by the formal pictures. But we have to be flattered. Sometimes the candid photographer snaps our pictures at the wrong angle. Perhaps our hair hasn’t been done for weeks. Or our trousers are wrinkled and the tie is crooked. Or, perhaps we aren’t wearing a tie at all. We may look more natural, but none of us likes to look natural all the time. We are pretenders. That is the reason this section was placed! in this yearbook, and in almost every year book in the nation.
