Oberlin Memories: June Swartwout ‘48
By June Swartwout
My years at Oberlin were from 1944 to 1948. The most important influence at first was World War II, still in progress. The Navy V-12 Unit was on campus, while many male students were drafted, interrupting their education.
I was a Conservatory student, and for the first three years we had no choir because of the lack of male singers. This was a huge disappointment for a Voice Major.
The three main differences I remember between then and now are clothing, food service, and

Oberlin Memories: Jim Sunshine ‘46
By Sybil Levine
Recently, I met James Sunshine, member of the class of 1946, to talk about his time spent at Oberlin. He told me about living in Men's Building, swimming in the reservoir, and rebelling against rotten college food.
When did you go to Oberlin, and when did you leave?
Okay I came in 1942 in the fall, and stayed one semester and then left to go into the army.
Were you called upon or did you volunteer?
No, I volunteered. Everybody was leaving here at that time. They

By Eileen Dettman
Editor's note: Eileen sent us her story about her favorite birthday at Oberlin, featuring flying Jell-O.
It was December 2, 1949 and my birthday. My boyfriend, John Dettman ’50, had arranged a dinner date with two of his friends at the Quadrangle, now Asia House, I believe, and I dressed appropriately to show off the lovely corsage he had given me. John and I began the long walk from Johnson house to the “Quad” where we met his friends in the dining hall. We stood behind our

Oberlin Memories: Peg Schultz '47

Editor's note: Peg sent us her memories of working with monkeys in Peters and Tappan Square for a psychology study before she become a School Psychologist.
When I was a senior psych major I worked with two Mangabey monkeys, in a room on the third floor of Peters Hall, under the direction of Dr. John Finan. The purpose was to train them to participate in an experiment having to do with the effect of an intervening variable on memory and learning.
