While at the Y on Tuesday I met a young man who is a freshman(fresh-person?) at Gordon College. (Go Scots!) We were having a nice conversation about the campus and professors and what-not and at one point I mentioned that I lived in Sheppard Hall.
The blank stare from the Gordon newbie was the shattering of my young innocence. I quickly realized that he had never seen Sheppard Hall. Had never made a Nunnery or Virgen Vault joke. Had never met any of the fun loving, quiet, studious, wild gals that resided there over the years. What a shame. What a loss.
I refrained from mentioning “Old Lane” or “Prince Chapel”. I didn’t want to sound like some old fogie or something!
Here’s to you, ***dear Sheppard|http://gordon.edu/about_gordon/buildings_tour/images/shepard.jpg***. You will be missed!
Wow. scary. And to think that the other day I was thinking of Music Major Christmas Parties in days gone by when there would be contests as to whose team could most beautifully decorate those dungeon practice-room doors in Prince! Poor new students. They’ve missed out on a lot.
