I never  knew the house on Xenia across from Mills Lawn was called Drake.  It 
was  privately owned when I lived in YS.
Most of my high school social studies  teachers seemed to be Korean Vets--I 
am sure the vets at Antioch were more  interesting.  Most of my teachers were 
rather poor in the skill  sets.




Yes, the house on the corner was Drake -- the one next door was also a  dorm, 
and kitty-kornered across the street was the old Morgan house, called  
Morgan, which was also a dorm.  My senior year, when I lived in Drake, the  house 
next door (was it called Greywood?) -- which became some years later a  fancy 
Bed and Breakfast, housed our first German Exchange Students from a  
technical/Bushiness college in Koln Germany, and it got pretty steamed because  
apparently one or two of them were sons of SS members, and there was a huge  reaction 
on the campus (even in 62) to having them on campus.  Those of us  who had been 
AEA were called upon to be peacemakers, or middlemen or  whatever.  I think 
the college made a mistake putting them all in one dorm,  which encouraged them 
to walk around as a group -- would have been better to put  4 or so in 
several dorms, and put counselors in place to encourage connections  and friendships 
as opposed to the mess that happened.  AEA had a  relationship with their 
school for Antiochians interested in business in the  then "Common Market" -- and 
the exchange was about them getting access after two  terms at Antioch to 
co-op jobs in business and finance.
