We\u2019d go in there after them\u2014we would likely be in there after 8 o\u2019clock. We would get porridge, bacon and eggs, you know, whatever you want.<\/p>\n
If I had classes after, I\u2019d simply keep my academic gown on and go up to the great hall to the class. Or, I\u2019d go the new classroom if I was in there, or hustle across Sommerville Flats to the University with my books and go to class there. I\u2019d come back for lunch at noon. I might have a break\u2014my roommate, especially in the first year was always game for a nap after lunch. He\u2019d say, \u2018wake me up in time for English,\u2019 or something of that nature. He might have a nap, I might review a couple of things I wanted to for the next class.” (8)<\/p>\n

“if you went in the main door in the center, turned right, went down to the end of that hallway, and on your left was this other wing headed towards the back; that was always called Holy Alley. Holy Alley, because most of the theological students who were there had rooms down that particular alley. They put the down there, so they would be together and have some sort of congenial atmosphere. The rest of the building was almost all theological students. ” (4)<\/p>\n

“You could even go to the common room on your floor in the middle of the night and find guys playing bridge. Bridge was likely the greatest killer of academic worth at the time.

\u201c[In 1955,] Ontario was hit by a Major Hurricane that came up out of the Gulf of Mexico, and it dumped a huge amount of rain on southern Ontario. in Toronto they particularly remember it because a lot of the rivers flooded. . . .\u00a0 But the result at Huron was that the basement rooms had window wells that opened up and let a bit of outside light into the room. That day, the window wells were, of course, filled with water. With that heavy, heavy rain.<\/p>\n
That particular common room was flooded, and I can remember a whole bunch of us the principal of Huron at the time was Bill Coleman\u2014Principal Coleman\u2014and I can remember him a bunch of the students in there, mopping up water for all we were worth, to try to protect the furniture and things like that. I might even have a few slides the pictures that I took at the time . . . slogging around in the water trying to clean it up.\u201d (5)<\/p>\n
