Archery Season

Lady Archers in Action

Seven female archers practice on the lawn between the stone gate and steps leading to Old Main, and the railroad tracks. Old Main and the 'bridge' leading to Bradley Hall can be seen in the background. Cars are parked in front of the building.Two girls have bows pulled and ready to shoot, and five others observe. Girls are dressed in skirts that fall below the knee and blouses or sweaters. The photo was taken in the fall or early spring, since the trees are bare of leaves. The woman with the glasses may be Minnie V. Taylor, who was the Dean of Women at the Junior College in 1932.

Old Main Falls

Fall of Old Main (1451BNG)

The cupola on the west wing of Old Main comes down. According to the Winter 1969 Lycoming Alumni Bulletin, "Hopes of removing the west wing cupola intact were doomed; the 80' boom was inadequate to preserve this symbol of the past. Instead, the contractor decided to put a cable around the base of the tower and pull it down with a Caterpillar tractor." This photo appears on page 5 of the Alumni Bulletin with the caption "A fraction of a second later the weathervane impaled the driveway."
