[00:00:00.200] 
Well, I was gonna take you through a day,

[00:00:02.120] 
if you don't wanted to do that.

[00:00:04.120] 
Now, the first

[00:00:06.800] 
 dean of students, and I think he was

[00:00:09.640] 
 one of the band directors, too, and my
 dad must have met him through

[00:00:12.320] 
 the American Band Master's Association.

[00:00:13.880] 
But anyway, it was

[00:00:16.760] 
Major O'Neil from Fort Pierce, Florida.

[00:00:21.720] 
And I think that's why we had all of this
 military

[00:00:24.720] 
 stuff kind of in the because we

[00:00:27.240] 
 did "First Call," "Reveille,"

[00:00:30.120] 
 "Mess Call," you know, "Call to Quarters,"

[00:00:33.200] 
[?], all that all day long.

[00:00:35.080] 
And everybody had the same schedule.

[00:00:36.880] 
Well, we had to because there's only one
 place to rehearse,

[00:00:39.640] 
 which was Strauss.

[00:00:43.040] 
And so we -- And

[00:00:45.880] 
 in the dining hall, which is where the
 dining hall is now.

[00:00:49.200] 
But it was just, it wasn't

[00:00:51.960] 
 as big, you know. There was a huge oak
 tree out front.

[00:00:54.760] 
I think it's gone now.

[00:00:56.880] 
I think lightning struck it.

[00:00:59.000] 
But everybody ate at the same time.

[00:01:02.200] 
We had tables of eight and they were all
headed by

[00:01:08.000] 
 somebody on the staff or faculty and the dean.

[00:01:12.560] 
And then it was rotated every week.

[00:01:14.920] 
There was a list who we whose table you
 were gonna sit.

[00:01:18.320] 
And it was served family style.

[00:01:20.080] 
And then the waiters and waitresses

[00:01:22.920] 
 were kids who had scholarships, work scholarships.

[00:01:26.960] 
Then we had an officer of the day

[00:01:29.240] 
 who would make announcements.

[00:01:30.800] 
We always either somebody said Grace or
 we

[00:01:33.320] 
 sang it, you know.

[00:01:36.200] 
 But I can remember having crushes

[00:01:38.800] 
 on certain boys and going and begging,

[00:01:41.320] 
 begging the dean to put me on that
 table.

[00:01:45.240] 
I'm sure lots of girls did that, but
 that's fine.

[00:01:48.840] 
But then in the morning after
 breakfast,

[00:01:51.360] 
 we had inspection, cabin inspection.

[00:01:55.640] 
 And we had contests.

[00:01:58.200] 
So whoever had the most perfect

[00:02:00.920] 
 inspection at the end of the summer
 would get a picnic or something like
 that.

[00:02:04.640] 
And then I think everybody had

[00:02:09.280] 
theory class for forty-five minutes.

[00:02:11.160] 
And then 

[00:02:13.680] 
the orchestra always met in the morning,

[00:02:16.200] 
the band always met in the afternoon for
 rehearsals.

[00:02:18.800] 
And I guess they did sectionals in the
 morning and we did them in the
 afternoon.

[00:02:22.640] 
And then we had swim period before lunch.

[00:02:27.440] 
We had lunch, then we had rest hour.

[00:02:30.040] 
And I can remember this delicious feeling.

[00:02:34.080] 
You go swimming in that cold water, 

[00:02:34.440] 
you go eat, and then you lie down in

[00:02:37.000] 
 your warm bunk,

[00:02:41.560] 
 and then more classes or rehearsals or
 whatever.

[00:02:44.640] 
And then everybody went to recreation

[00:02:47.400] 
 about four thirty and it was required.

[00:02:51.400] 
And what did they do in recreation?

[00:02:53.080] 
We had basketball.

[00:02:55.040] 
We had, we couldn't do an awful lot

[00:02:56.760] 
but, basketball, baseball,

[00:02:59.360] 
 softball, we did life-saving classes,
 and

[00:03:06.200] 
occasionally hiking, that kind of thing.

[00:03:08.200] 
They did have tennis courts that were down there
where --

[00:03:11.400] 
 Well, they were down below the dam.
On the other side.

[00:03:16.520] 
Then we had supper.

[00:03:19.120] 
And then in the evenings --

[00:03:24.000] 
Well Monday, after lunch until

[00:03:25.480] 
 Tuesday morning, was off time after the
 big weekend.

[00:03:30.520] 
And then,

[00:03:33.040] 
 most of the time, we would walk in

[00:03:35.840] 
 and go to the co-ed theater, whatever was playing.

[00:03:39.520] 
That's what you saw.

[00:03:42.120] 
And then Tuesday night was usually

[00:03:44.880] 
 a faculty chamber music recital.

[00:03:49.800] 
One night a week was some sort of,

[00:03:52.800] 
 well, they'd have faculty stunt night, 

[00:03:54.880] 
we had student stunt night,

[00:03:57.200] 
those would be there.

[00:03:58.440] 
We'd have --

[00:04:00.880] 
And then Friday night was always band
 concert.

[00:04:04.360] 
Saturday night was square dancing
 usually.

[00:04:08.400] 
And, well, it was round, you know.
Yeah.

[00:04:11.040] 
Line dancing, kind of.

[00:04:12.960] 
And then Sunday afternoon was

[00:04:15.480] 
 orchestra concert.

[00:04:18.640] 
And then we always had vespers on Sunday night.
