Academics

Frances Koral— We had to sign up for a course which would make it legitimate as a college project. I had a choice of geology or rural sociology so I took rural sociology. We all slept through the classes, including the professor. I mean, we learned absolutely nothing of rural sociology. The teacher was also in the field so he was as tired as we were. And he wasn't about to flunk anybody.

Quicktime

 


Marjorie Brockman— I do remember that we had to go to classes.


Elliot Levine— I think that they were worried that if we didn't take any courses, if we didn't stand to lose, a lot of us would decide we didn't want to stay and we'd go home. And in fact, I would have.


Marion Greenstone— We were taking credit courses with Professor Minor and somebody else. They were two of the oldest teachers in the English Department and I guess they liked the idea of getting away for the summer. We took, I guess, one of the basic English classes that we had to take in second year or first year. And we'd be very sleepy. But I think we all passed the courses.


Phyllis LeShaw— I love math. So I took Math with Dr. Freisher. And sang in the church there. I sang Ave Maria every Sunday.
