HOUSEMOTHERS Assuming the role of mothers away from home, the dormitory matrons are appropriately called housemothers. They play a vital role in counseling and disciplining women students who live in dormitories. Their understanding and sympathetic supervision of student life helps to develop an atmosphere within the dormitories that makes the ex- perience of dorm life a lasting and pleasurable memory. The charming efficiency of MTSC ' s dormitory matrons has resulted in dormitory life that closely parallels that of one big happy family. .Just ask any girl! These efficient and capable ladies serve as combination doctor-sergeant-psychiatrist-receptionist-diplomats. Deal- ing daily with the problems of MTSC co-eds, housemothers admit that the job demands much of them, but at the same time find compensations in the accomplishments and the development of the young ladies with whom they work.
