Campus Map, 1944!

Wow! Check this beauty out:

It appeared in the first issue of the Thresher of the 1944 school year. To my great delight it is full of things I don’t know anything about.

Already, though, I’ve found one thing–a 1946 ad for the bowling alley across Main from the Fieldhouse. I haven’t been able to locate any information about this but I wonder if it later became the Palace Lanes on Bellaire.

Bonus: Just for fun here’s the very handsome masthead of the Thresher in 1944. Zoom in and look at those owls.
