The "formative years" were here. In spring 2005
I returned for my 20th Alumni Weekend. |
School Link: |
Penrose. The fact that it's now a girl's dorm
is nearly heretical. |
|
The Arts Barn. |
|
|
Rabbit near the arts barn, completely indifferent to
my presence, which means that it's used to people. Its presence
also means that there are no campus dogs running around, which I
consider a great loss. I saw a lot of rabbits around
the campus. |
|
Sage Hall, which is now a boy's dorm. This is
immediately evident from a walk through the halls. Evidently
they kids still play lacrosse indoors. |
|
Murals inside Sage. |
|
The members of my class who bothered to return. |
|
|
Solar Dorms. You can tell when someone was at
the school by what they call these dorms. If you were there
before 1984, you knew them as 'Solar'; after it was knows as "Perry".
They were supposed to be 'passive solar'. The mirrors would
reflect light down to the saltillo tile floors, which would warm up
from the sun's radiant heat. Then the tiles would release the
radiant heat at night. Yeah right. Cold cold. Cold. |
|
Bears. It seems that every city did the
"paint your critter" contest, and Colorado Springs was no exception.
The leftovers got stuck in the airport. |
