clietrord Once upon a time when the land where our college now stands was an empty field—that was seventy-five years ago— Cedarville College was just beginning. In 1895 the first building was erected. Since then, students' voices—bewildered, hopeful, anxious, joyful—have sounded its halls. Here we have tried to capture for you, through picture and word, the sounds from the past as well as the present. This year has been marked.by change and growth as the fall term began and Mr. Barker, the new registrar, reported the record enrollment of 428. Returning students found the science curriculum changed to meet the demand for a general education plan; education students groaned over the change in arrangements with Central State. Watching for their first letter from home, students noticed the rearrangement of the college mail boxes. Night classes were scheduled to relieve the day schedule. Later in the fall we swelled with pride as we viewed the new look of the gymnasium at the first pep rally. After Christmas vacation we were surprised to see a new, light covering over the first floor of the Administration Building. We listened to the hammering on the third floor of the maintenance crew building a new recording studio for our two new weekly radio programs. Then one happy day in February we looked out the window and saw the men starting work on our new student center in the southwest corner of the campus. Each of us has his personal memories, too, associated with these things which affected us all in this seventy-fifth year of our college history. In keeping with our seventy-fifth anniversary, we would like to present Cedarville College-1962—in the light of its rich heritage, a heritage which began in 1887 under the leadership of godly men and continues today to be guided by God-fearing leaders. The story of our college is, indeed, the story of a MIRACLE. 4

c Yljrt )/ ecietciqk oar /887 On the observance of the seventy-fifth anniversary of Cedarville College, it is good that we remember those who were led of the Lord to establish this school. "Cedarville College was founded with the sublime object in view of advancing the interest of God on earth, for the training of young men for the Gospel ministry, and for the education of young men and women for missionary service both at home and abroad." It was with these objects in mind that a group of Godly men met with the desire to establish a liberal arts college for Christian young people. The College, founded in 1887, was controlled by the Reformed Presbyterian Church. ADARvILLE 'COLLEGE I. NERAL A;/'S.
A953 \ „1 1:1 " In 1953 the College was sold to the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland. Despite all of the problems and needs that arose these men of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches accepted the challenge of a college of liberal arts. These men of faith and consecration have guided the growth of the college to what we see before us today. There is no doubt that in the past nine years we have experienced the blessing of the Lord on the work that these men have begun. In commemoration of these men of God, we the Junior Class, dedicate this yearbook to the founders, both past and present, of Cedarville College. It was their faith and determination of spirit as well as their foresight and dedication to the Lord that began the work of God with a Christian emphasis on education. The example that has been set by these Godly men shall always be an encouragement to our graduates to continue on to greater heights for our Lord. It is our prayer that the Lord will bless the prayers of the founders of our college and will continue to work through Cedarville College for His glory.

This is the scene of four years of unforgettable activity.

Announcing our campus to all who pass on Route 72, is the blue and white shadow box presented by the Class of '58. Proudly we look across our main campus where we have spent another year. From Main Street we enter our campus through the gates which state the purpose for our school — "For the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ." 10 it EDARVILLE COLLEGE
I This was the weekend we had that snow which began suddenly on Friday morning and disappeared so quickly during the church hour on Sunday morning. 11
Throughout a day of classes, studies, chapel, and recreation, we encounter many scenes which cannot be associated with any organized group or activity. The tower of "Old Main" silhouetted against a full moon, "Pop" lowering the flag in front of the Science Hall, the tall and stately Cedar trees rising from the snow, a couple strolling hand-in-hand along the Path; these are the things we see every day, scenes which never fail to evoke a sense of pride and purpose within us. 12
The time and seasonal changes make these scenes more impressive. These common scenes will linger in our memory long after we forget all the final exams and frivolity of college life. 13
Providing an immediate refueling stop for itinerant scholars is the college cafeteria. We have spent many hours discussing exams, studying, laughing — and eating here. We can never forget the times we ran wildly from dorm to cafeteria trying to get an early meal card because we had a 7:00 committee meeting or because that special person ate early. When the crowd gradually diminishes at 7:30 and the doors close for another day, the work continues. On into the night a corps of students wash floors, tables and dishes to prepare for the coming day.
Upper Main Street — the scene of innumerable impromptu track events (trying to get from an Accounting class in the Science Building to a History Seminar in the library on time), and many leisurely walks back to the New Dorm after a study date at the library. Returning to the dormitory at 10:00 p.m. after three hours of searching in the library, we pass again the Ad Building — so different during the noisy day. Tomorrow 15 to fresh thoughts and problems new.

We are proud of our heritage. Many of us haven't known anything of the sacrifices and of the principles which brought our school into being, but in this 75th year, as we take a long look over the past, we are encouraged through the examples of the early leaders of the college to continue to be a Christian College true to the Word. Within our hearts we find gratitude for our inheritance.

Hugh Macmillan where the first classes of Cedarville College were held in 1894. ref/41,14a roar er>1.1 / At Duanesburgh, New York, in May of 1879, the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church decided to establish a liberal arts college. By the will of William Gibson, an elder in the First Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, a bequest of $25,000 was left in 1886 to found the college at Cedarville, Greene County, Ohio. On January 26, 1887, Cedarville College was chartered by the state of Ohio. At the meeting of the General Synod held in Coulterville, Illinois, in May, 1894, the Synod, upon the recommendation of the board of trustees, elected Dr. McKinney first President of Cedarville College. The board chose a faculty, and on Wednesday, September 19, 1894, the college was formally opened for instruction to thirty-six students in the fii.e old mansion (above) formerly occupied by Dr. Hugh McMillan's Academy. The quarters proving too small for the work, the new building was erected and entered the following year, 1895. 6
1 elf Fit 13ei,vhi,t V'trail(rig red4r REV. DAVID MCKINNEY, D.D., LL.D., PRESIDENT Rev. David McKinney, D.D., first President of Cedarville Co llege was pastor of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati, O hio, at the time of his appointment by the Synod. Dr. McKinney was born in Philadelph ia, May 20, 1860, and received his education in the Philadelphia public schools, t he University of Pennsylvania and the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. I n May, 1895, Wittenberg College conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. At the time that Dr. McKinney was elected president, the college was largely a prospective institution. While he continued to serve as pastor of h is congregation in Cincinnati, he took hold of the college work with such energy and de termination that from a plan on paper it evolved into a reality. His zeal continue d through the twentyone years that he served as president. After his resignation in 19 15, he served as Presi- dent Emeritus until his deathin 1934. 19
The first men's baseball team (1896) defeated Xenia and broke even with Antioch. The history of athletics began simultaneously with the history of the college, for, while no athletic organization was sponsored and financed by the college in the early days, neither was it discouraged. The students, inclined to display their skill on the gridiron and diamond, were given all encouragement and the interest which these students had for developing their abilities is manifested by the fact that they were willing to employ a coach at their own expense. In 1902, Mr. W. J. Alford presented the college trustees with the church building and grounds vacated by the Reformed Presbyterian Congregation, and desired that it be used as a gymnasium. It was equipped with complete apparatus for physical education and indoor athletics. The college boasted basketball teams of both sexes. The Xenia Gazette of 1897 carried these words to its readers: "Since basketball has become the leading sport in all colleges, both among the girls as well as the boys, the Cedarville College classes have organized teams. The college girls . . . play a very lady-like game of basketball . . . One feature of their playing is their clever pass work; another, their accuracy in throwing for goals; in fact, they play the game as it should be played. We will also say that this game will be strictly moral and first class in every respect, and no lady need be backward about attending." 20 Alford Memorial Gym, 1902.

PICTURED AT LEFT: Faculty and first graduating class of Cedarville College— 1897. The activities and curriculum of Cedarville College have always been built around the statement by Dr. McKinney in his message in the 1903 Memorabilia. "Above all Cedarville College believes that the culture of the mind without the nurture and growth of spiritual life is a mistake. Education without morality is a menace to the state. Morality to be deep and abiding must have its springs in religion. Accordingly the Bible is a textbook of the college. No student can graduate who has not taken a thorough and systematic course in it. The professors are all earnest Christians ... They are glad to assist students in every possible way." FACULTY AND SENIOR CLASS. The Glee Club, 1897. From the earliest days, music has played an important role in Cedarville College activities. Music groups of every variety have provided entertainment and service for the student body, community and interested churches. Dr. McKinney's interest in Bible training by no means dulled his interest in secular education. Through the efforts of Dr. McKinney and the Honorable Whitelaw Reid, Andrew Carnegie offered Cedarville College a gift equal to sum it could raise for an endowment. Twelve thousand dollars was secured within one year, and the present library building was completed in the fall of 1908. Architect's sketch of Carnegie Library. 21

The students took an interest in their athletic teams, following them around the state to cheer them on to victory. In 1911, the faculty decided to set apart a special day—Cedar Day in the spring of the year, when the community and the college would both join in a good time. As the years passed, the campus began to take shape: the gymnasium was acquired, the library was built, and trees were planted to beautify the campus. A college h ad emerged from ground that yet a few remember as fertile farm land. Godly people had given sacrificially to build a Christian college. A loyal group of students gathers to follow the team to an away game. The whole town turned out for the annual Cedar Day festivities. 23

Vayhinger, 1942-195 28 The Reverend Walter Smith Kilpatrick was chosen by the board of trustees to succeed Dr. McChesney as president of Cedarville College. He was twenty-six years old at the time of his appointment, the youngest college president in the United States. A magna aim laude graduate of Cedarville College (1934), Mr. Kilpatrick received his Th.B. from Western Theological Seminary and was awarded the Marvin Memorial Fellowship for the highest standing in his class. He received his M.A. degree from the University of Pittsburgh and completed his residence requirements there for the Ph.D. degree. He studied in Europe for three semesters before being called to assume his new duties at Cedarville. Under Mr. Kilpatrick's administration, the college purchased its first residence hall. Harriman Hall, located on the corner of Main and Chillicothe Streets, was named in memory of Dr. W. P. Harriman, a Cedarville alumnus and member of the board of trustees at the time of his death in March, 1959. In addition to being a home for college girls, the dorm was used as a social center. Ira D. Vayhinger was appointed president of Cedarville College by the board of trustees in October, 1942. Born in Delaware, Ohio, Mr. Vayhinger attended school at Osgood and was graduated from Moores Hill College. He was connected with the financial department of the Presbyterian Church and was business manager of the 'college at the time of his appointment to the presidency.

The annual Cedar Day celebration, 1923. The first observance of Cedar Day was so successful that the celebration of Cedar Day became an established custom which continued until the year 1957. The faculty regarded Cedar Day as the day of all year when the community and the college joined in wholesome fun and A person who served the college under every adminstration including the present and through every changing circumstance until February, 1954, was Dr. Frank A. Jurkat. Dr. Jurkat's six-and-ahalf foot frame on the pathway crossing the campus was a familiar sight to hundreds of students who grew to love and respect him during his fifty-eight years with the college. The way his students felt about him is well expressed in the 1951 Cedrus which was dedicated to him. "We dedicate this, the 1951 Cedrus, to him because, although a man of prodigious learning, he wears that learning lightly; because, like Yorick, he is a man of infinite jest; because an hour of one of his classes is a delight to those who share it, when not only mind and spirit are fed with wit and Wisdom, but the flesh, too, is sustained by the cookies and candy that he carries up the path in his market basket along with books—and, above all, because he is loved and greatly admired, and remembered by his students long after their other teachers have been forgotten." In April of 1954, Dr. Jurkat was L called to be with the Lord whom he served; but his influence is still felt on the campus, not only by those who knew him personally, but even by those who knew him only through the memories of others. pleasure. The people of the community regarded Cedar Day much as they regarded the fourth of July. It was a general holiday when businesses were closed, farm work was abandoned, baskets were filled and the whole family came to spend the day on the college campus. Dr. Jurkat, friend to all. 29
hmr.) Keirrmira; ,tAte.aelit For the past seven years James T. Jeremiah has ably led Cedarville College. A graduate of Baptist Bible Seminary in Johnson City, New York, and Central State College in Wilberforce, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah held three pastorates before becoming affiliated with Cedarville College. Responsible positions on the Council of Fourteen of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, the Ohio Independent Baptist Council and the Mid-Missions Council further prepared him for his position at the college. In June 1961, Central State College conferred upon Dr. Jeremiah the honorary Doctor of Divinity degree in recognition of his contributions in the fields of religion and education. In addition to regular administrative duties which include representing the school and raising funds, and his outside interests such as Mid-Missions, Dr. Jeremiah maintains an active interest and contact with the student body. In spite of his busy schedule, the president reads the daily announcements in chapel, follows athletic teams even to away games, and is always available to the students for informal chats.
Because of the greatly increased enrollment in the last several years, Cedarville College has purchased, remodeled, and built buildings to expand the campus. This expansion began in 1956 when Cedar Hall (g) was purchased. In 1958, Faith Hall (a) was purchased and renovated to provide dormitory space for sixty-four women. The years 1959 and 1960 saw two new buildings appear on campus. The men's dormitory (d), built in 1959, houses thirty men, a bookstore, a snack shop, and a student lounge. The women's dormitory (e), built in 1960, accommodates one hundred women. Many existing buildings have been remodeled to provide improved facilities. The chapel (b) and the cafeteria (c) were both enlarged and faced with brick in 1959. Faculty offices and an audio-visual room were built on the third floor of the administration building, and new zoology and botany laboratories were set up in the basement of Science Hall. During the summer of 1961, the college purchased the Sticka House (f) and built music studios on the first floor and dormito ry rooms for women on the second floor. In addition to the building program, numerous other improvements have been made, including new heating equipment, enlargement of facilities in the library, pavement of walks and drives on campus.
ta e AL. 'FILL° U U U STUOINT • LI N 1 0 14 A part of the student body, 1961-1962. The school year 1961-1962 saw the largest student body ever enrolled in Cedarville College. Even the greatly improved facilities were not adequate enough to accommodate the 450 students who flooded the campus. The board of trustees, anticipating this problem, commissioned an architect to draw up a building which would do the most to alleviate the crowded campus situation. Thus, the Student Center building proposed in the spring of 1961. This structure will accommodate class and banquet rooms, a book store, snack shop, gymnasium, and will leave other campus buildings free to provide classrooms, dormitory rooms, and a chapel large enough to seat the entire student body and faculty. The completion of this much needed building is dependent solely on alumni, interested friends of the college, and churches. 32
Buildings and academic policies are not the only things that compose a college; the students and their Spirit make the college what it is. Although attitude and Spirit are intangible, from their effects we can see the direction that they take. In Cedarville the spirit of the students has shown itself in many ways. The attitude toward the community was shown by the Student Council which sponsored successful Bloodmobile visits in October and January. School spirit was displayed when students participated in completely repainting the gym under the direction of the Varsity "C" Club and by voting to assess themselves ten dollars each semester toward the Student Center Fund. Not only does spirit flourish within the school, Cedarville spirit lives on in .the lives of alumni. November 18 saw the largest group of alumni ever return to the college for the most extensive Homecoming to be planned by the school. 33

"Old Main", the earliest name for the Administration Building, is the scene of many administrative activities. Here we spend many hours in the Registrar's office trying to straighten out our second semester schedule or waiting with trepidation to see why the Dean put a conference slip in our mail box. We chat with President Jeremiah near the drinking fountain, and catch a glimpse of what goes on in the offices we seldom enter. Here, also, are filed away our permanent records long after we have left our classes to find our place in the world. A • -14)47 /90

aff e College catalogs are interesting publications. It is seldom that we are privileged to read one printed prior to the turn of the century. One of the earliest Cedarville catalogs is dated 1897-98. The spiritual tone of the college in those early days is seen in a statement found in that edition: "On each Wednesday morning the students conduct a college prayer meeting, which all the students are required to attend." Now, as we celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of our college, we dedicate ourselves anew to carry out the purposes of the founders of Cedarville College. The daily chapel is the spiritual center of our college life. We shall endeavor to maintain this practice and we pray God will help us to be true to "the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ." 37

As freshmen we were sure that knowledge could be acquired in the lecture room; now we realize that attending chilly winter lectures in Ad 23 is not enough. Facts are presented to us by our professors but they do not become a part of us until we make them such by hours of research at the library and numerous lab sessions. Teaching, studying and experimentation — classroom, library and laboratory — combine to give us knowledge. e-2W2 - T
This keeps us slim 'n' trim — from the faculty offices on the 3rd floor to Room 3 of the Administration Building. ACADEMICS We run from place to place, from building to building going to our classes, but then comes ten o'clock when we pause from the busy rush and walk toward Milner Chapel. In chapel we find the real blessing of the Lord each day. Special artists, pastors, and evangelists bring the Word of God to us. Attending chapel, as vital a part of Cedarville College as the class, is required of all. Our souls are refreshed as we spend an hour in worship with fellow students and faculty. 48

The members of Dr. Jeremiah's Baptist History and Polity class spend time at the college library reading required books. ACADEMICS Biblical Education One great advantage of attending a Christian college of liberal arts is the Bible instruction the student receives from those to whom the Word is precious. The instructors in this division are godly men who patiently and capably guide us to a greater understanding of our Saviour and God's Word. 50 Gathering every weekday at 12:00 noon could become commonplace, but the students in Systematic Theology class find that nothing is commonplace with Dr. Williams.
Lauren Schenk practices for the big day in the spring sermon in Chapel. miluimilingiwmgiummimil•Mr--.M.,—""''..-- Training in college is not completely classroom lectures. We must oftentime apply and practice the skills we learn from class work. The Christian Education department uses their learning in Sunday School classes, Junior church, and Bible Clubs. Those in Homiletics put their knowledge into practice when they deliver to the student body the final requirement of the Homiletics class. This year a new branch has been added to this division—courses dealing with Missions are taught both by Miss Fisher and Mr. McDonald. June Golden and Bev Woods demonstrate to students of Christian Education of Youth a game to aid in the teaching of children and reaching them for the Lord. 51

His presence on the staff has increased the number of courses offered in the division of Psychology and Education, such as Psychology of Perception and Psychology of Language and Thinking. Clifford Maddox, Ph.D. Applied Psychology
Along with general class work, students this year attend lab periods, and many work in the offices of Mr. Barker and Dr. Maddox, which gives them much needed experience in this field. Jim Sprague spends many hours working in the office of Dr. Maddox compiling statistics. Mr. Barker lectures in Psychology of Perception. Carole Boren works with the Registrar as part of the requirements for this course on Behavioral Statistics. 53
ACADEMICS Division of Health and Physical Education 4e • Wf4t4, r. rr 4,44, • ;:tlt T' 70;+ Donald Callan, M.S. Coaching The scene of the majority of classes in this department has been greatly enhanced since the present gymnasium underwent many helpful changes early in the Fall. The now more collegiate atmosphere makes it much more pleasant to face an 8:00 physical education class. Several new pieces of equipment have been purchased to provide students the best possible education. This department has also supported a system planned to give all—students, faculty, and staff—a chance to get that much needed exercise. There are times reserved in the gym for different groups to participate in planned activities, such as: basketball, trampolene, and table tennis. 54 The "coach" spends most of his spare time in gymnasium with the "boys."
Girls in the 8:00 physical education class do some drills to improve their passing activities. This year Coach Callan turned his girls' Physical Education classes over to two student teachers: Janet McClish and Dolly Kidd. Small classes in courses especially for majors and minors in physical education allow time and energy needed by individual students. 55

With seven sections of Freshman English, instructors of this department shared the task of teaching composition to 175 Freshmen. In addition to his art classes, Mr. Russell had three sections, while Miss Kantzer and Mr. Bartholomew each taught two. Alternating yearly with English Literature, American Literature class was first offered this year in two large sections taught by Miss Kantzer. Majors and minors had a variety of offerings in Mr. Bartholomew's courses in Milton and The Seventeenth Century, The English Language, The English Novel, and Restoration and Eighteenth Century. Sally Bender begins her Whitman report in the eleven o'clock section of American Literature. Nancy Smith settles down to read the first of the eleven required novels for Mr. Bartholomew's English Novel class. 59

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cooke left at the close of first semester to continue graduate work at Indiana University. In her studio at Sticka House, Miss Smith instructs a music student. 61
After training in Song Leading taught by Mr. Thornton, students attempt to direct the song service in Chapel. ACADEMICS Fine Arts The Music Department has many responsibilities other than instructing in the classroom. The students represent the college in choirs, quartets, trios, and solos. Each day in chapel students prepare special music and provide instrumental accompaniment for chapel singing. Paul Gathany, a Junior, is the general electronic technician for the Music Department. Barb Miller plays the organ for a morning chapel service. 62

Elaine Jordan reference. It seems that this year almost every student on the Cedarville College campus is taking one of the general history courses. Mr. Gale has so many students in his American History class and his Western Civilization class that it has been impossible to meet in a classroom to accommodate one hundred students at one time. The Chapel, where usually one finds only music students, has become the scene for these two history courses. Mr. McDonald, returning this year from a leave of absence, is busy instructing courses in social work and history.

Rich Blumenstock and Jerry Stadt find it difficult to wait until Rod Lane finishes talking to his girl. The boys may be talking about something as common as a Bible Doctrine quiz or as earth shaking as nuclear warfare. Who can tell by their faces? Bethel Hall Guarded by a single stately cedar tree, Bethel Hall borders the campus on the northern side. Its newly remodeled walls contain men from each of the four classes and from as many diversified interests. Athletes, class officers, vocal students, bookworms, each add their personalities to make the "Bethel Royals" a unit. 73
The natives are restless tonight." Corn-packed Men's Dorm The College Bookstore and Student Lounge share their temporary facilities with the rugged individualists of the campus. The fact that the favorite game of the residents is bowling down Pepsi bottles with a shot can be witnessed by any group who has tried to conduct an evening meeting in the lounge below. Home of gentlemen and scholars, the Bookstore Dorm managesto maintain a casual atmosphere just within the frame of college regulations. N 74
The dormitory located the farthest away from the main campus is affectionately known as "The Shack" by its twenty-four residents. The back lawn which slopes to "Massey Creek" is the scene of snowball fights in the winter and touch football games in the spring. The list of popular indoor activities is topped by shaving cream and water fights; nevertheless, senior Keith Webster, head monitor for two years and still cracking the whip, manages to keep the boys in line. "The Pause That Refreshes" Cedar Hall An important element in dorm harmony is the weekly devotional time. Here Larry Czerniak leads in scripture reading. 75
Faith Hall Faith Hall with its low modern structure is a comfortable home for sixty Cedarville co-eds. Most of the activity that goes on within centers about the lounge. During the day it is occupied almost constantly by gentlemen callers, but after hours it becomes a women's domain for late evening studying and group reducing exercises. The pop machine keeps everyone dieting; room checks keep everyone tidy, while dorm counselors, Bonnie Nash, Bobbie Unzicker, Nancy Warkentine, and Betty Schultz, keep residents in line by enforcing curfews and study hours. "Go directly to jail, do not pass GO, do not collect '200'." 76 Whether it be a pizza or a chocolate cake you know that it will make evening studying considerably more tolerable.
Harriman Hall, the first building purchased by the college for use as a dormitory, originally housed women. In more recent years it has become a popular residence hall among upperclass men because of its homey atmosphere and its proximity to both the college library and the Pizza House. An added attraction among the "Harriman Hurricanes" and their friends is the front porch swing—especially in the spring. Ken Swigart gives an extra special brush for an extra special date. Harriman Hall Hank Cook finds that cooking isn't as difficult as they say— in a pop-corn popper. 77
Standing near the traditional pines and housing mostly freshmen women stands the New Women's Dormitory. Looking at its calm exterior one finds it difficult to believe that inside the five counselors: Lois Bayless, RosaLee Albrecht, Mary Goodwin, Joyce Walker, and Sharon Addleman and 150 coeds are making the rooms bustle with activity. Residents find that its position on campus has many advantages—not only is it near to classroom buildings, it also provides an excellent fifty-yard line view of the footballfield during the intramural season. New Dorm Joyce Walker can't understand why Carol Henson never manages to sign-in on time. 78 Evelyn Thorns, school, nurse, measures out bitter medicine with a smile in her office located off the New Dorm lounge.
Rife Hall, home of anybody who might wander into its confines, is conveniently situated an equal distance between the "Dairy Isle" and the college bookstore. This strategic position guarantees that none of the "Rife Riffraff" need ever go hungry despite missing the cafeteria line or the quantity of cookies from home. Rife Hall The music is "way out," the atmosphere is relaxing and studies will be forgotten for the rest of the evening. 79
Carol Hell finds that sometimes the only quiet nook for study is the clothes closet. Across the street from the gymnasium is Sticka House, purchased in 1961 to accommodate the music department andtwelve women residents. Its hall echoes friendly chatter mingled with busy typewriters and high fidelity One wonders how Hazel Brovont and Lois Kennedy manage to look so lovely at the banquet after dressing in such utter confusion. Sticka House sound from the music studios below. In spite of their merry parties and ingenious pranks, in the midst of daily college routine, the residents manage to maintain the homey atmosphere of the dorm. 80
