I believe this is the old library.

Actually, this looks like the part of the building in which we were allowed to smoke! It was a basement lounge with a tv ("That Was the Week That Was"). Mine was one of the last classes to be able to live in Halcyon - firetrap!

An errand upstate took me through Millbrook last Friday and I took a sad and nostalgic stroll all around the old Bennett campus. I was a student there in '65 and '66. A rig is drilling a well in the front lawn; the operator told me the place will be demolished to make way for condos. I stood in the courtyard and could see into my old classrooms, I peeked into a plywooded doorway and saw the columns in the old design studio, I summoned images and memories of the dining room where we sang to classmates who came back from spring weekends with engagement rings. I conjured up names and faces of girls (we weren't women then) I haven't thought about for years. I'm amused to read comments about the place being haunted; if so, it's just by a bunch of post adolescent females anguishing over most of the same things the spook-hunters are going through. Goodbye, girls; goodbye Bennett.
