Still have the flannel, still own the hat and still love Maine.

People hangin’ out on Appian Way was just…so…KSC!!

It was always interesting to watch the ‘granolas’ playing hacky sac.The tennis courts were a sort of KSC billboard.There were sheets,YES…bedsheets… advertising dances,upcoming pub performers,Greek Organization fundraisers.
I miss it all…

I don’t think she likes Lobster. But, Larry looks good. Is that a turtleneck below the flannel? God, you are so from Maine!

#3, I think that this might have been part of pledging, but the 6 pack carrier reminds me of the time I put all of my empties in the library deposit box, sorry! there were so many things we did and so many things that I don’t always remember now. Like the time I chained Tracey Smithers to the salad bar, you would have thought that I would have remembered THAT but we did something outrageous most every day…

Ah! Ha!, the old Spaulding gym pool. I grew up on the campus.
The back rear window was always open, or unlocked.
Nice pool, if you could put up with the clorine.
When it came time to close it; 1958? 1961?
Guess who got the job of shoveling out the enclosed
rock and sand filter?
Should have saved 15 thousand marble sized stones,
all smoooth and round.
Too bad, replaced by a coffee shop?

I remember that canvas that Jayne mentions.

I was a freshman living in Monadnock Hall in the spring of 1966. Once the weather warmed up, the gals came out to sun themselves on that Fiske Hall roof and out came the binoculars in Monadnock. Soon, up went the canvas, and it turned out to be a big topic of conversation in that dorm. Someone speculated how it would really be a shame if somebody stole the canvas. My friend Big Clem Hamilton (leader of the aborted November ‘65 Fiske Hall panty raid that I recounted in another post) agreed, grinning that distinctive grin of his. The next morning the canvas was gone.

After a couple of days, the perps were tracked down and brought to justice, though. Their leader — Big Clem — made a plea bargain: to avoid being booted out of KSC, he revealed the location of the canvas and agreed to see that it got restored to its rightful place, guarding KSC’s coeds from the prying eyes of the Monadnock Hall population.
