Special Places on Campus : The Soldier Room

The Tandem Friends campus abounds with places that hold special meaning to community members - whether it's the quad out back or a favored classroom. In the early years, classes were held in the large main building on campus, a former family home, and one such favorite space was an upstairs classroom called the Soldier Room because of its very dated wallpaper covered with illustrations of soldiers. At one time, it served as French teacher Joan Barnett's room, as well as other classes over the years. It's now an administrative office but it's a popular alumni stop during visits, and if you peek behind the radiator under the window, you can still see a piece of that soldier wallpaper clinging to the wall, preserving memories.
