These pix are numbered as though from a set, likely a small souvenir packet of scenes from around campus – or even around town. Clearly, I don't have the envelope/pouch/packet they originally came in, let alone a complete set. Still, I have learned something today (I might have known this long ago and forgotten it, but I prefer to pretend my memory is less flawed than that):
the music building, long known as Austin Hall, had once been a dormitory called Sunnyside. I lived in an apartment next door to that place for a couple of terms, and knew it had been a dorm, all right, but Sunnyside? Really? What's up with that?
I suppose, since it was on the east side of the street, opposite campus, there's a logic to the name, but… wow.
Anyway, no surprises with the other four snaps of my old stomping grounds.
 |
| Wallace Hall (or, as the label says, "89 Monmouth College") |
 |
| "-80- Library - Monmouth College" Now called Poling Hall, but we old-timers still pronounce it "CAR-nuh-ghee" |
 |
| "–87 – Auditorium" Still one of my favorite structures on campus. It's lovely, and has darned good acoustics. When they don't overdo the upholstery |
 |
| "-86-Monmouth College Gymnasium" Ask me, sometime, about the dirt track in the basement. Under/around the pool. |
