The Union is our laboratory for living at OSC. The days at the Union and there were many for all OSC students this year were as typical as the movements of a clock and in the same way each was different. The small world in itself — simply called “our Union” was coffeehouse and bookstore, pool room and dining hall, snack bar and music lounge, reading room and concert hall, dance hall and workshop, meeting room and a place to go. Many days and nights lived there will never lx forgotten. When weather permits, students find the sun dock a handy place to relox or to watch passers-by. The pool tables are a popular feature in the game room at the Union. 9
