A X T cg Y . ,si XX- XX - ,, viii 'Q The dormitory is one department of which Flintridge can be iustly proud. Throughout the last decade, its facilities have improved steadily, with the addition of new beds, furniture, and heating units. To its eighteen occupants the dorm is iust as much like home as their own back yard. There are many reasons for the dorm's popularity. Boarders are free to go home or elsewhere on weekends. A television set in the living room provides entertainment for the bored few. Tasty snacks are served after evening study hall, and meals are con- sistently delicious due to our chef supreme, Cliff Buffington. Under the guidance of housemaster Don Hunnell, the boys learn cooperation and develop other traits necessary in later life. If for no other reason than that it teaches one to get along with other people, the dorm is a very worthwhile unit. fi! ff' f 1 9-5.-

It is confined to the high school and has proved to be an effective instigatoi' in accomplishing otherwise disregarded tasks. An example of this would be the photo contest, which without class competition would have never even existed. Another example is the book drive, certainly an event which would ordinarily attract the atten- tion of only a few. This year a new handling was given to the essay contest, which in past years has slowly been diminishing in entries. To remedy this, all the students were re- quired to write an essay which would figure on their English averages. Thus many more and superior efforts were turned in. Although there was a great deal of con- troversy over this new policy, the results have settled the question.
