Sister Evelyn Ovalles reflects on Saint Mary-of-the-Woods and home

The Providence Hall resource center still utilizes its carefully sorted card catalog. The toggle marked “Main” on this switchboard in the Owens Hall tunnels is entirely too tempting. This incinerator, also in the Owens Hall tunnels, is no longer in use. These old gauges are deep in the tunnels of Owens Hall, where a whole slew of decades-old technology is still in use.
