Printed in U.S.A. 3 Reflections Books to Bulldozers by Florabelle Williams Wilson ’49 “Unforgettable, wasn’t it?” “Bet you’ll never forget this day!” “How’d you like driving that big bulldozer?” “That’s an experience that you’ll never forget!” Echoes of remarks like these whirled about my mind today as I placed my fancy red and grey hard hat carefully on the file cabinet and hurried to clean the freshly turned earth from my shoes. I had just returned to the library office following the ground-breaking ceremony for the KRANNERT MEMORIAL LIBRARY, March 23, 1976, and my mind was awash with memories of sitting behind the controls of a huge, yellow bulldozer (No. 103 ) , feeling the behemoth respond to my lightest touch. They were right, of course, it was an experience that I’ll never forget, but it was just one link in the chain of many unforgettable experiences and memories which I have shared at Indiana Central. I have prog- ressed from books to bulldozers. I stepped off the city bus at the corner of Hanna and Otterbein on a cold, January day in 1946, and saw Indiana Central for the first time. I approached the white pillars of Academic Hall, nor knowing how much my life would be changed by entering the tall wooden doors which led to the lobby and the information window, A friendly smile, an interview and within a few days I transferred from the downtown campus of Indiana Unversity to Indiana Central College. At last I was enrolled in a real college, one that looked like a college, with dormitories and a gym and a library. Most of the commuting students rode the city bus which we boarded on Monument Circle for the meandering ride past Manual High School, past Sacred Heart, through narrow tree-lined streets to the portion of the city known as University Heights. Troy Avenue was the ‘dividing line’ between city and country to my eyes, for Shelby Street was bordered with farms and open fields with only a few neat white frame houses in sight from the windows of the bus. Roehl’s Drugstore, which was located on the southeast corner of Hanna and Shelby, marked the northern edge of University Heights and served as the gathering place for those of us who walked down for an ice cream cone or a soda while waiting for the bus to ‘round Lawrence Avenue and begin its sputtering trek back to town. The student body was small and soon we came to know each other well. What a joyful celebration we shared when we learned that Indiana Central had been accredited by North Central Association of Colleges and Secon- dary Schools in 1947. I formed lasting friendships with many of the persons I met at Indiana Central and shared several escapades with them. I still remember with glee the morning members of the Religious Life Committee, fired by their zeal to gather for Early Morning Prayer, removed the pins from the hinges of the locked Chapel Doors on the second floor of Academic Hall so that those of us gathered there could enter. (The pins were replaced, I think). As commuters participating in campus activities, my Little Sster, Mary Merritt, and I shared another memorable (continued on page 17) 4 The following alumni no longer have a current address on Office, Indiana Central University, 1400 E.
