What Are Some of Your Favorite Memories of
the University?
In preparation for each fall's 50th reunion,members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.
Here's small part of selections of some memories from the Class of 1969.
Phyllis Jo Baunach
“...I cannot forget the endless hours of studying,researching,and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks.We did everything by hand!But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.Additionally,I cannot forget the joyful hours of CoKast rehearsals for studentwrittenanddirected plays,and the thrill of audience's responses to our efforts.Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music.This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”
Paul Boehm
“...many sweet and lasting memories—five feet of deep snow,getting stranded on the thruway,music at Hylie Morris' Alley,and,of course,I met my wife,Ellen Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972,when she was a freshman and I was a senior.As a fiveyear chemical engineering major,I had one elective to spare,and Ellen said,‘How about oceanography?’ So,I enrolled in oceanography with Dr.Taro Takahashi(the famous climate scientist),which awakened my environmental juices,and changed my professional direction.”
Farel Vella MeClure
“...I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester.In fact,I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master's degree!I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus.My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year.Other memories include the Susan B.Anthony banquet,and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library.I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons.I.M.Pei,the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid,was the architect for Wilson Commons.We even visited his offices in New York to see the ‘master’ at work.”
