Spring 1977 I was kicked out on the last day for refusing to cut my hair and shave before I could take my finals.I did tell the faCULTy and Deans and possibly Henry B. to all go to HELL as I interuped the end of the year lunchen.
Leon Parson, Richard Bird. Both good at their craft. Leon is a gifted artist but pigeon-holed into Outdoor Life covers forever. His brother Del is probably better known to the LDS minions.
I enjoyed the learning atmosphere for a time. Then, I met students who had disconnected from the church. There was a kid on campus named Spice who kept getting in trouble with the school and the local law enforcement. I found that my room-mates weren't really into the church and I felt the same way. I can remember going to a prick-hood meeting for a huge crowd in the basketball arena and I got up and feigned illness after enduring 2 hours of hearing that I was a big fat sinner and couldn't endure to the end.
Funny, I went back to the apartment changed into jeans and walked over to the local cowboy bar, bought a beer and played pool until 12am.
I guess I wasn't a very good Mormon RM. In spite of all that I had been through (mission, temple, guilt, attend a church school), the message wasn't getting into my big fat head. I think that deep down I knew I was being played and didn't want to play their game. Now, years later I get it all. Looking backward sure is fun and eye-wetting at times.
It was a lot of fun, as I remember there were semi-crazy freshman guys and self righteous RMs that lived there. The RMs were always trying to calm the freshman down.
Carriage House supplied the females for the ward. AT the start of the year the freshman girls were all excited about the freshman guys and thought the RMs were prudes. But by the end of the year, the girls were getting nervous that they were going to end up being old maids, so many decided that those RMs weren't so prudish after all and many were engaged by the end the year.
The High School on the Hill - Ahh, yes. 1981, played for one of the sports teams - good time had by all. Tons of cute girls, not all of them Molly's (but a lot sure were), cool RA in our liberal apt building, only two roommates in place designed for six. Colder than a well digger's ass in January, but lots of dances and student activities to keep one busy.
The sports teams drove a lot of school spirit then...sounds like it would be kind of boring to attend now.
75-76 Ensign Hall third floor what a blast! We had so much fun that year. Pennying guys into their rooms. Jumping off the balcony outside our windows into the snow drifts below. Sneaking into a room in the middle of the night and turning on the floor buffer and letting it go in the room with the sleeping guys. One time we even took a guys whole room and set it up on the balcony outside his window, bed and all.
Those were good times. We had a resident assistant (RA) who was a party animal so we had beer and girls on our floor all the time. Never went to church one time that entire year.
Husband exmo went there in the 70s. Trying to figure out the timing. I think 74/ 75. I remember his stories about the cattle call marathon dating to find his Eternal Companion. And I remember his sexist comments about how one young woman said she was there for her MRS and how he hated her saying that though he was doing the exact same thing.
I LOVE his story of how his exwife told him she had had a revelation she would marry him. She was an old maid by Mormon standards 27, I think and he was older than the usual inmates. Her field was limited. lol. Any way she bought her own engagement ring. Wow. I cant believe this was going on in the 70s. Weird.
90-91 I lived in Sunrise Village before it became boys housing. Our manager was convicted the next year for embezzlement. They charged cleaning fines and pocketed the money.
After that I lived in a house by the post office and then a house near the girls forms.
Any Interior Design majors here from that time frame?
