The 10 dorms rhar moke up rhe Cenrrol Residenriol Area create on ex- ceprionol communiry ormosphere. The Hill, Qs Ir is offecrionQrely known, offers o geography unique ro rhe compus, and rhe climb is long remem- bered. The beginning of rhe school year is marked wirh greor welcome back parries, where everyone rrodes sro- ries of rheir summers and meer rheir new floormares. In rhe smaller dorms, groups idenrify more wirh rhe dorm as a unit, while in rhe larger dorms, halls ond floors form rhe righresr groups. Floor srudy breaks wirh cook- ies and hor cocoa or rhe beginning of rhe week give way ro friendly floor happy hours on Fridays. The firsr snow brings abour a change in rhe Hill, wirh everyone ' s holiday ond end-of-rhe-semesrer spirit srorring plenty of snowball fighrs. The climb up rhe icy hill, luckily avoided by the residenrs of lower Cenrral, gers longer and more difficult wirh each snowsrorm. While going up requires efforr, no Cenrrol residenr can forget sliding down the iced over Doker Hill on everything from srolen D.C. troys ro pieces of cardboard. Many stu- dents hove even skied down the path righr inro rhe New Africo House parking lot on only the soles of rheir shoes. Another fovorire winrer event is the lighting of rhe Christmas Tree in Cenrral Area, accompanied by carol- ing and snow man building. The coming of spring an d rhe flowering of rhe Orchard gets every- one in on ourdoor mood. Sunbarhing in front of Von Merer, as well as fris- bee and sofrball rossing become ele- menrory in every residenr ' s curricu- lum. Floor organized and sponrane- ous parties on rhe hill, or locrosse gomes, and or nearby Puffers Pond highlight the spring semester. Special evenrs like Central Area Picnic ond the Orchord Hill Central Area Concerr bring o fun and rowdy spring ro a close. Overall, the ormosphere of Central is one of good friends having good rimes. In rhe lounges ond academic centers everyone works hard ro ger rheir srudying done so rhey con head our onro rhe hill to relax, ro Dutterfield for o movie, or ro Greenough for munchies, carrying on the great Cen- rral rrodirions.
