The hrst time I ever went up to the roof of Judd Hall was late in the afternoon of the day Hurricane Gloria came through. That was the fall of 1985. It was frosh year. Later on, when the weather was cold, I went back up. I went at night, with some of my hallmates. It was exhilarating to look down to the river, and across it, all lit up. The Arrigoni bridge is lit. Parts of Route 9 are lit. And there are different lights all over the city of Middle- town. We had fun picking out the different buildings. A habit grew on us, and when the weather was clear, and not too cold, a group of us would climb to the top of Judd late at night, when we had finished studying for the eve- ning, or as a study break. We even took a few stray chairs up there with us, so we would have a place to sit as we surveyed the view. Some nights the building was all locked up. That was a letdown. One night we went up to the top of the Science Tower. We were higher up, but somehow the sights were not as won- derful. We only did that once. But we returned to Judd time after time. I remember one of my hallmates, who was from New York City, was surprised at how dark it was at night. He was excited about the fact that he could really see the stars. l am from the country, and the brightness of nighttime in Middletown still never fails to amaze me. My friends and I would have long talks on top of Judd Hall, bundled against the chill. There was something about the air up there, cold and clear that helped us think, made us feel. It was especially beautiful in the snow. It was up there that I realized that when it is cold enough, and clear enough, you can see be- yond the stars. by Alexandra McClennen
