Vintage University of Cincinnati

I love cleaning the office. There's always so much junk floating around it's pretty easy to do.

Yesterday, I was cleaning out the overhead compartments above my desk and came across a bunch of intra-university mail envelopes. I opened them. All of them. And, in one, I found this 1984 "The Bearcat Goes to College" activity book.

The book was written by Dick Ruehrwein and illustrated by Bob Burchett and Dave Warren. It's 32 pages of non-stop excitement -- from coloring pages, a dice game to get you to graduation and a page encouraging students to join the News Record (my favorite page), the book has it all. There are pages about Bearcat bands, athletics, Greek Life and the different colleges.


I'm glad I found it. It's definitely a really fun piece of UC history. Too bad Gin and Ariel had to do the word search on page 4. Sigh.
