' f ii: x ,X X' o Hurts House, residence hall for young women students of Lincoln, has been the Center of many of the college social affairs. Jfafzii .facade Hai-ts House was officially opened when we girls moved in with our luggage and, inci- dentally, with our hoy friends' pictures. It 4lidn't take long for us to get acquainted with our lien' rooms and roommates, who, when all was said and done, were found to he Marilyn Atteherry, Phyllis Mantis, sophomoresg Flor: ence Hardin, Geno Keltner, Mary Ellen Langan, Mary lone Seeher, Marjorie Schlots, and Mary Nell Hawes, freshmen. Our first party intro: duced us to the rest of the freshman class. Some of the first things we learned to do in our college careers Were to short-sheet beds, to beat the time dead-line, to learn and abide hy dorm rules, and to fix super-spreads. Geno, Marjorie, Mary Nell, and Mary Ione chose weekends during the year when they en- tertained the other dorm girls i11 their homes. Each time one of our fellow men students re- ceived his call to one of the services, we enter- tained him at dinner in the dorm. 'When Bill llusch left, we had a dinner at the Hotel Lin- coln, but Mary Nell stole the show that evening hy announcing her marriage to Bus. Our last hig fling was tl combination picnic which in- cluded the fellows of Murphy's Dorm and the Harts House girls. As the year progressed, everyone learned everyone else's troubles. At times, we had our ins and outs and our Hups and downs, but through them all we've remained friends, and we have truly learned the meaning of living happily together. All in all, not one of the girls would give up her dorm experiences, and we have chalked this up as a successful year indeed. - BY SEEBER

The first sports night, held November 18, proved to be a great success, and other sports nights followed. In February, the freshmen challenged the sophomores to a competitive evening of games in which the sophomores proved to be the win- i 1 , ' 4 . f ' Q - nr - ...- ners. According to the rules, the freslnnen entertained the sophomores at a St. Pat.rick's Day party' at Harts House in March.
