NORMAL HALL TA'l'l.Eli SOCIETY NEWS Early in the fall the students of the school gave a reception in honor of Mrs. A. C. Boyden, wife to the principal. The reception room in Normal Hall was taste- fully decorated for the event. In the re- ceiving line were the dean and the oiiicers of the Student Government. Special en- tertainment was furnished by Miss Frieda Rand, who sang French and German folk songs in her usual charming manner. The refreshment committee served delicious punch and cookies. After the reception. open house was held in Normal Hall, where the rooms were found to be unusually attractive. The autumn leaves, rugs, pillows, and wicker furniture. with which the root was decorated, addedia touch of Warmth and color to the occasion. The reception was attended by a large number of stu- dents and faculty, and was considered a brilliant success. , Normal Hall, to keep up with the times, has adopted a dormitory pin. and has di- vided into three squads, each division having its own name, leader, and by- laws. Each squad in turn was responsible for a surprise entertainment at house meetings.

1926 NORMAL OFFERING Woodward Hall President . ..... MARJORIE SOUTHVVICK Vie-e-P1-egident , , MARGARET M. O,BRIEN Secretary-Treasurer . .... JESSIE LITTLE There is a hall There are dorms around us, That is known as XVoodward Dorm, Held most dear by all their own: Loved by us all But 'tis t'XVood that holds us, For its welcome warm. For it is our home. VVhere is there a home with such a large family as that of Woodward with her one hundred and sixty daughters? What a problem she has on her hands to see that they get the most out of dormitory life and also play a contributing part toward that life. With this problem ever in mind we have introduced a new system of dormitory regulations this year with the primary aim of making Woodward ai more friendly Hdormf' and the subsequent aim of bringing about a more eiiicient government. This system consists of dividing Woodward into sixteen groups, according to room location, the girls in each group comprising a squad. A leader was chosen by each squad, the leader to be responsible for th-e conduct of her squad, to take charge of its social activities, and to supervise a stunt to be given at house meet- ing some time during the year. Of the stunts we shall now speak. Let us take you to NVoodward Basement on house meeting night to witness the second burning of Rome as enacted by 'tEmpty Tammett's squad, who call themselves t'The Spare Tires. VVhat depth of feeling and dramatic furor are poured forth as mighty Nero, none other than Helen Padelford, calmly plays his fiddle and watches with a cruel smile the vast eonflagration. XVhat hidden wiles displayed by the siren, Win- nief' Booth, who ilies ma glly about with disheveled hair! Come with us another night to see Abie's Irish Rose with Helen XVilbur's squad, and behold Peg Archibald as the harassed father of Rose, an excellent bit of acting. Join your sympathies with the trials of passionate Abie, whom we recognize as Marcia Soule. Supported by an admirable east, we can justly call this the hit of the NVoodward dramatic season. Lest you should think our scope limited, we would take you to the skit, Life Only a Song, presented by the Phi Phi Phis. From the tragic Rome episode we come to the tranquil scenes of domestic life, where you may Witness the trials and joys of Lorraine Finn, the perfect lover, and Dovis Leavitt, the only girl, as the married couple who found life 'tonly a song. The picture of the worried father pacing the floor singing, 'tYes, sir, that's my Baby, might be called the Upiece de resistance of the evening. It was equalled only by the realistic acting of t'Peg Shaw, the father, as she puts the eat out for the night, and trudges off to bed in her stocking feet. NVe could go on at length with a description of our Christmas party and of our open house, but space forbids. XVe have tried to show you the effects of squads on social life. Vile have only made a beginning in this new system, but we hope that it will be carried on in the years to come with greater success and unlimited enthusiasm to make it worth-while. .
