Rosenow | 32 once put it, “Happy Land is where my childhood left off in a psychotic kind of way.” Perhaps Happy Land was a way for the college students to let go of their childhood and leave it behind as they become better adults in the future. One thing is for sure: there is no other Happy Land outside The Evergreen State College. After much research by asking different college campuses around the world, Happy Land is still unique. 52 It is this uniqueness that should be preserved. 52 Many students that I have talked to around the world actuallyndo wish that they had a Happy Land to escape from the daily rut of daily academic studies.
Conclusion What have I learned from studying these stories? Human beings have always been Rosenow | 33 storytellers since the day they could communicate with others. We’ve seen it in cave drawings. Yet, they still survive and they do still tell the story of how they caught that animal. Throughout the study, I had to ask myself, “If objects could talk what would they say to me?” This is where I often looked for small things such as a marking on the wall or an associated object left behind. There are several problems in hunting down the truth behind these stories. For one, the stories that do exist from word of mouth can normally be found not in history books, but old, musty newspapers, magazines, and the archives (which the college library has done a wonderful job of preserving these items). Objects and rooms are harder to track down as I soon found out. All I could do was to write my personal experience, describe, and take pictures. For example, I will try to find that picture of that woman and find out her name and perhaps give her an official plaque for her memory. It may not be today, this year, or even this decade, but I will keep on searching. As I have examined the stories, I did find some sort of truth behind them. • Students who saw contractors coming out of the steam tunnels between maintenance periods could lead to making up stories of UFOs living underneath them or National Guard having easy access to control any protestors or riots. • We found that having recognition of something positive that you did for the community should always be recognized. • Suicides do happen at any college, but not as many as we think. There are too many variables.
