zo NORMAL OFFERING T ILLINGHAST HALL. u-1l1T-.gl- House President, JEANETTE A. FOURNIER Vice-House President, FRANCES M. LANMAN Secretary-Treasurer, MARY V. GIDA Woodward Hall is on the south of us, the Campus is on the east of us, the Cottage and Normal Hall are on the north of us, and the Normal School is on the west of us. Cannot the girls of Tillinghast boast that they live on the central part of the school grounds? Of course we do, and the forty-eight of us for whom Tillinghast spells home grow to like this dorm more and more each day. Third floor is equally familiar to a girl living on first or second floor as is her own. Why? Just because we are a little family who become very well acquainted with each other several weeks after the opening of school. This year, these forty-eight girls have proven their great inter- est in the House in many ways. Never before Cin the recollection of any present residents, some of whom have lived here for three yearsj has Tillinghast had a grand Christmas party with a Christmas Tree and gifts. Yes, each one of us had a gift accompanied by at least four lines of verse to explain the why and wherefore of the gift. In fact, the only thing which was missing at the party was the Yule log. C A ' Then, too, we gave a very successful entertainment in the gym- nasium for the benefit of the Piano Fund. Pyramus, Thisbe, the Moon, Mrs. Jarley, Chinese Giant, and Captain Kidd were present. Sturdy Pyramus showed his audience that he was a great lover and nothing could come between him and his Thisbe. Cwing to a double misunderstanding both the lovers committed suicide by the same fateful weapon. This was, of course, merely a play, and all the characters gracefully recovered and bowed to the spectators. Not only are the '4Tillites, as we are called, interested in dor- mitory affairs, but also in school affairs. Do you not find them en- joying the school socials, games, and entertainments? The lines of this song show the never-failing Tillinghast Spirit.

Did you know we were nearly all Seniors this year, and at first we had special privileges which no other dorm had? We could visit as we liked during study hours, for one thing .... Oh, no! Only on professional matters, of course! Then we were allowed one light cut a week until twelve o'clock. Think of that! There was nothing like that when you were here, was there? The girls on sec- ond floor still have those privileges. Who are our officers. Two of the Marys. Mary Terry is presi- dent, Mary Bacon, vice-,presidentg and Frances Ryder, secretary.
