As you made your way up
the winding sts I rs of Medallle
(often mlsla ken as Med i eval
Hall). a young lady would
lake your admittance fee.
Then the tour would begin.
The two tour guld es were
an eerie looking vampire
equipped with a full-length
black cape and a gruesome
looIdng hund1bad< thai would
put Quasimodo to shame.
The lour beg ins as th e
group was lead down one
corridor. Then, a scraam is
heard, a door slammed, the
dar1<.ened hall becomes even
darker as lIle tour guides lead
Ihe 9 rou P farthar down th e
hall.
Everyone was then
pUShed Inlo a room with no
lights, the door then closed.
People panic. someone
opens Ihe door 8S all the
peopl e escape back Into th e
hall.
Continuing down the cor·
ridor, after the group has re-assembled,
a stream of wa·
ter comes from nowhere. A
hand comes out from a door­way
and 9 ralls al the nea res!
person it ca n fi nd. A cob­web-
like lTI3le of string hangs
from the ceiling and brushes
across a face or two. A loud
noise Is heard-a broom ralls
to th e ftoor whe n no one Is
near Il
The group Is now con­fused.
People begin to
seres m. A few ru n Inlo the
wall. More screams are
heard, several doors are
sJammed ShUI, then mysterl·
ously opened wi!hout anyone
in the room.
After a few minutes of
com~ete contusion ano tolal
panic. the vampire and
hunchback guides r~orga­nize
the shaken group. The
guides then make the last slop
of the tour.
They open up a door to a
small room_ A purple light
shin 66 forth from the lop of
the ce i Ii ng down, down into a
sink from which a lone hand
is trying to escape.
A few more screams are
h aard as the tour is ended
and the group hasUly makes
Its way down Ihe flight of
stairs.

The girls have responded
in dlfferenl ways. Some are
scared_ Some say II doesn'!

wish they had h&al a nd hoi
water.) Others have deslg·
nated a 510rage room at the

Daniel was one of the first to
III1E1 lJlere when she came to
Nazareth as a student In the

rooms wera used on what
they called ""The Penthouse:
The remainder of Ihe floor
was used as a slorage

Inten~on. Then as Nazareth
grew end more dorms were
built. Meda,lIe 4'" was no

10 life on Medallle 4~
ftool1
First, th e girls were asked
why they were aSSigned 10
the flo or In th e first place_
AI most all agreed Ihat they
were placed there because
almost all the girls had re­QUested
their roommates. As
Peg McAllister said, "They fig­ured
il would lessen the blow
of being up here ~ we knew
our roommates:
The biggest problem has
been the stigma allached to
being a Medaille girL There
Is a conslant flow of IIIsitors
who either want 10 see where
"the nun hung herself: or
have heard slories and are
simply curious to see Ihe
floor. Many have asked to
see the rooms and comments
have ranged from 'Oh my
God you live In here?" to "Isn·t
il eerie?' to -It's neal-It's
cozy: And obviously there
were problems with the num­ber
of stairs, sf)d the (act that
the rooms have Inleresting
-nooks and Clannies: Many
of the rooms can't be rear·
ranged.
By far the most prevalent
complaint voiced by the girls
is the lack of heat and hot
water. As Terry Llndsely
says, "We gel heat once a
day. in the morning: The
building has been particularly
damp and cold duei0 the re­cent
weather. "Irs so cold"
Is a commonly heard com·
plalnl And only one of the
three showers has sufficient
hot waler. Orje is usable OI1ly
when absolu1ely necessary
and the other only produces
a fa Int mist. Accordl ng to
Paul Morris, Co-DfreClOr of
Resldenllal Life. "Hot water
has been a problem. We'Ye
reported ~ to maintenance.'
Morris fell thai the problems
are mostly due 10 the sOu¢­tu
re of Ihe bu ndln g, but main·
tenance Is attempting to sollie
them.
Aside (rom the obvious
disadvantages, living on
MedalUe 4"' Ooor Is nol all
ba d. Almost all of the girls
InteNlewed said living there
wasn't as bad as people be­lieved.
-It's not InstitutiOl\a~
l:zed up here: "I'm getting
used to it I kind Of like iL:
and "II's quiet and very pri­vate"
were comments heard.
When asked If they WOuld
move If they had the oppor­tunity,
most said only if they
oould remain with their room­rna
les. On the policy of reia­caUng
4~ fioor Medaille resi­dents,
Morris said, -Priority
has been given to people in
triples. This Is the commit·
ment we sent in Ihe letters
Oller the SU mmer.
Overall, it seems that the
residents of Medaille are ad­justing
quite well to being "The
Attic Girls: despite the obvi­ous
dlsadva ntages. As
Patricia Wilson says, -We
