On the evening of Friday, Feb. 7, at 6 p.m., Harper Hall was host to a semi-annual Area Recital by Lawrence’s own vocal performance majors.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” and the importance of world-building
Winter Term. The doldrums of every Lawrentian’s life. Having gone through three Winter Terms successfully, I thought myself well-equipped to navigate the brutal malaise of classes conducted in only six hours of daylight, the siren call of blowing off work, the naps lying in wait. And then suddenly, like a single drop of antimatter dropped…
