A stroll down memory lane

I spent some time recently on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, where I studied engineering for 2 years. Margot was participating in the National History day program. There was plenty of down time, so I wandered about campus with one of my trusty point and shoots.

I had physics in this building (what else!) I see that they have replaced the windows since 1976. At the time the windows were old and drafty. We were the second class of the day in a large lecture room on one of the upper floors. In the winter the first class (at 7:30 a.m.) would write the temperature of the room on the blackboard , which was usually 59 degrees. By the time of our 8:30 a.m. class it had usually risen to about 62 degrees!

This was a newer addition to the campus, a walkway between two existing buildings. 

 

Strosacker Auditorium, site of the National History day performances (Margot's was group performance, junior division.) I had computer programming in Strosacker.

The awards ceremony was held in Amasa Stone Chapel on campus. The light was really sweet coming in through the upper windows, and all I had was the P&S! Oh, well.

And, of course, the reason for being there that day, the NHD events. Margot, Maggie and Katherine display the hardware (3rd place group performance for "4 Women, 1 Dream", about the struggle for women's equality.) They also display what photographers know well, "3 girls, 1 picture - someone's gonna have their eyes closed!"
