Washburn College in Topeka

My parenis only lived four blocks from Washburn when I was growing up. If my dad was out of town my motther would take us up for a picnic supper. My dad did like picnics. We would sit on the hill of the football field and mother would tell us stories. Later when I was old enough a friend of mine and I would ride our bikes up and ride around the campus. Once we climbed in a windowwn of MacVicar hapel and tried to play the organ. Another time we crimbed the fireescape on Rice Hall. There we met a biology professor who showed us snakes and a skelton. He then showed us a crate of dead monkeys. Later both building were blown down in a tornado, Aside from my experiences were my parents. When my Dad went to Washburn he was Captain of the football team and beat KU. He told me once Rice hall caught on fire and they threw the chairs out but carefully saved the rocks. My attending of Washburn was more like meeting old friends. It was nice to be a gradute of Washburn.
