SHS SOPHOMORES STORM NOTRE DAME By JO ELLEN SCHOEFF As a sophomore I feel that I can truly speak for all of the Syracuse sophomores and say that we had a marvelous time at Notre Dame university during our recent field trip to the campus on Wednesday, Jan. 8. We visited, a building on the campus that many of the students attending the famed university seldom get to see .. . the home of the Univac 1107, a miraculous electronic brain. We also visited the new thirteen floor library. It is the largest in the world with space for two million books. A few’ of the boys went to some of the dormotories and talked with a few’ of the football players. Whether this is fact or fiction only the boys know’ for sure. It’s a fact that during the lunch peroid which we spent on the campus, four of the SHS sophomore girls were the only females in the cafeteria dining room with all of the Notre Dame boys the hall” could hold. What a thrill! Although the weather was extremely cold, the trip was enjoyed by nearly everyone and most of us felt that Mr. Crampton and Mr. Howard, our chaperones, deserve commendation for a job well done.
