Pupils from Class "Z" at Northside Elementary School look over the gaily-colored mural which they and their classmates constructed last week. The ungraded class, composed of seven and eight-year olds, was given the assignment to depict their own houses and front yards on paper. Houses and trees were fashioned from cut paper, while the children used crayon and chalk to finish the pictures. Mrs. Barbara Heers, classroom teacher, and Mrs. Margo Engelmann, art instructor, said the assignment was part of the class' social studies unit teaching the children about maps, their own neighborhoods, and the city of Ann Arbor. "The children worked very well together," said Mrs. Heers, "and they are anxious for future projects." The artists are, left to right, Debbie Frey, Barbara Peters, Jay Gause and Jon Daley.

CAMPUS LANDMARK RAZED: Morris Hall, a campus landmark which formerly served as the residence of faculty members and for the past 18 years as the home of the University Broadcasting Studio, is being razed this week to make way for the University's new general service building across from Angell Hall. At one time Morris Hall served as the home of the late Prof. George S. Morris, formerly of the modern language and literature department. Charles Beyland Guerard de Nancrede, professor of surgery at the University, later occupied the house with his family. In 1915 the building was purchased by the Catholic church as a site for a student chapel, and in 1922 the regents purchased the property, adapting it for use as a broadcasting studio and for band rehearsals.
