Things You Couldn't Live Without
While looking for pictures showing dorm room decorating styles over the years, we were struck by how much stuff students were able to pack into their rooms. Still, the accommodations in most dorm rooms were not palatial and most students probably had to be selective in what they brought to campus. So, I'm wondering how people chose that one thing they had to bring to campus.

In my sophomore year at Case (1967-1968), my Pardee roommate, Woody Ban, kept his Honda motorbike in our room on the second floor. Getting it up the steps after hours was sometimes a chore! This kept it ut of the rain and the elements. As Frank Zappa would say, necessity was the "Mother of Invention"!

Telephone technology was a coded buzzer to call us to a phone call at the phone down the hall.
There were no PCs and no calculators--we had the slide rule!
Graduated 1961.
