Hey Sid, where did you get those shots??

That photo brings memories of my last year on campus.

The original, Dupre Library....one story tall

Edith Garland Dupré.
Ms. Dupre was a member of the first faculty at Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute (now, the University of Louisiana ... at Lafayette). She taught English and French, and oversaw the operation of the library.

I have spent many a research hour in Edith's inner rooms.

I saw a student strut his stuff in a streak in front of Edith's place in 1974.

Ms Dupre', after retirement, had a bookstore that she named Sans Souci. I can remember buying a few books there as a kid, and recall how diminutive she was, maybe just over 5 feet.

And when she drove her car, she could barely see over the steering wheel. The painting in the library must be close to life sized.

Sans souci= carefree or possibly worry free.

A cool video recently posted on youtube and FB: the first part features downtown, but it ends with a drive through campus. Other than stating it is in 1960's, it doesn't give a specific date. However, from the looks of it, it seems to be very early 1960's.
Oh, and it has a great soundtrack to boot.
