PROJECTS - Idle Hands are Idle Hands

Genesis for the Room (and other) Project is an idea of Gerry's:

An inspiration!  This is just a crude fantasy--We need some sort of complete archive and time-line of events which could be available on line to all alumni and current school personnel -- a potentially massive project.    

(A petty example--I was trying to remember the sequence of rooms I was in for all 8 semesters which 25 years ago I probably still remembered and now do not.   For example that room (8, I think, 2nd fl, NW corner) with Dana, Bill, Ed and me-- was that first or second semester of the sophomore year?  And I can't remember my other room that year.  Somewhere there might still be a list of room assignments year after year.  Just imagine-- a list of who was in each room each semester. (I know they were typed up and posted , but were they filed away the the office, and do they still exist somewhere?  maybe not-- maybe they discarded a lot of that stuff, but I wonder)

We need cross referenced lists of people, and academic classes, and minutes of self gov, officework assignments, dorm room assignments, who was on dorm committee, office work checkers, and curriculum outlines, special events, visitors (eg. Peace Pilgrim) and archived scans of the student newspaper and the Olney Current going as far back as possible.  I bet a lot of that information is stashed away somewhere at the school.  All of the class pictures which have been so beautifully restored and captioned by John M and Wanda R should be put on line and any other photos of interest that can be dated and documented.  What I'm envisioning would be separate from Olneyfriends.org, and there would also be links to other pertinent sites like Olney65.org  

     Crazy idea?   Probably very costly.  Volunteers?
