Colloquially known as “the bowling alley” due to its narrow hallways interspersed with airy common rooms, the spacious quad mirrors the floor plan of next-door neighbor Kirkland A-31, where four junior boys reside. The rooms are separated by a fire-door, but Young laughs that “we’re good friends with them, so it worked out.” The strikingly large common room has served as the clothing storage and fitting...

...national trauma. And yet at the same time, many of us were left wondering how this old-fashioned program, so manifestly out of touch with contemporary realities with its perky “Would you be mine, could you be mine, won’t you be my neighbor?” melody, could have produced such a powerful sense of loss...
