AT THE HEAD of the stairs Tcm shows Vi the meeting room of the Cadet Club, the group which provides a liaison be- tween the Faculty and the Corps and which keeps a constructively vigilant watch over cadet activities. kldllf' CBFCRI OF ALL the enjoyable occasions tor which Bea- son Hall provides a setting, none is probably more popular with the White-Stripers than the dances which they hold on many Saturday nights throughout the year, WELL, it's certainly a beautiful build- ingf exclaims Vi. One of the nicest I have ever seen at any school, she continues, looking around the Great Hall. f'Especially this room. Yes, agrees Tom, it's all right. And he goes on to tell her that the building. only four years old. is the gift of Mr. Ross Beason in memory of his son, Ross. Jr,. a Culver alumnus who was killed in the war. That's his picture over the fireplace. he adds. .pg if fin: 1 fr! fflff XJ..

ATO US,n explains Tom, the big at- traction of this place is that a fellow can relax over here and feel as if he were home. You can sit around downstairs, drink a coke, and play cards or just bat the breeze. Or if you're looking for quiet, you can come up here and settle down in a comfortable chair. 'YW

Brooks AS THEY STROLL about the Great Hall before returning down- stairs, Grendel tells his girl briefly about the officers of the First Class. These three men have been elected to their offices by vote of the entire class. In all. their duties correspond to those of class offi- cers in any school. To them falls the responsibility for the social and financial welfare of the White-Stripersg and above all, theirs is the duty of maintaining that intangible thing called class spirit. The Patio ABOUT to step from Beason Hall to the Campus proper, Vi and Tom stop for a few moments on the patio, the gift of the Class of 1950. Some First Classmen are lazing about in the sun. A little way off some others are pitching horseshoes. Down toward the Inn, the Fifth Classmen are engaging in a softball game on their private ath- letic field. Then as radios and phonographs blare from open windows of Argonne and C. T., Tom and Vi leave Beason hall to begin their trek.

W. YOU see, Tom goes on, f'we're not altogether military here. I mean by that that we elect some of the people who do important jobs. For instance, the Board of Governors here at Beason are chosen by the class. The Board sees to it that every- body obeys the regulations gov- erning the use of the building. It's a big job they have, but they handle it well. Everybody is impressed with the desira- bility of keeping this building looking good, and it isn't' often the Board speaks to anyone. nc l'
