He said Harding wanted to incorporate photos from all areas of campus to show a fun and in\'iting environmenl. "These pictures [arc meaningful] to people," Montgomery said. "The chosen pictures hold memories for the students in them." Rachel Bean, junior interior design major, said her picture in the Heritage was a great conversation sta rter to talk about one of her favorite Harding momems. "It's cool because [when] people see it, I get to tell them about the art trip to Europe," Bean said. "It's a cool way to share my experiences. That day, when we took that picture, was one ofmy favorite days in Italy. It's just a good memory." Bean said haYing her picture on the wall next to so many people she looked up to was humbling. Both current students and alumni looked at the new picture and reminisced about the moments captured and displayed in the Heritage, according to l\Iontgomcry. He said when he saw people looking at the SAME PLACES By Sara Denney pictures, he enjoyed asking them if they were in the picture or if they knew sqmconc in the picture. "I do love people interacting with [the pictures]," Montgomery said. "It's cool to sec people looking back and remembering." Katie Peoples, sophomore interior design major, was also featured in one of the new photographs and said she made new friends through the picture. "A lot of people [ask me] ifl know that I have a picture hanging in the Heritage," Peoples said. "People think I look familiar and then ,viii piece it together." According to Montgomery, President Dr. Bruce McLarty helped decide on the pictures and their layout on the walls. He said they pulled pictures, printed proofs and laid them out on McLarty's conference table. "'It was a fun thing to be sitting in a meeting and see [McLarty] look at pictures and rotate them around," ?\fontgomery said. l\1cLarty's in\'olvement did not stop once the pictures were chosen. He posted an Instagram series showcasing the pictures in the Heritage with the students posed in front of their pictures.
