Memories - UMEI 75th

PARTIES OF THE 1960’S

Remember roller skating in the old gym? Remember kangaroo courts? Remember when we auctioned off box lunches with the guys bidding for their favorite girl’s box lunch even though they weren’t supposed to know who made which one? Remember playing the game Macheleska (I don’t know how to spell it LOL) We had some great […]

The popularity of the three CSI shows currently running on TV makes one wonder: why the public’s fascination with forensics and crime scene investigation? But maybe an even more immediate question might be: Why did April and Jasmine choose this theme for the 2007-2008 Spectrum? A quick answer would be: We expect something wacky and […]
