Resiili iiee Hall Now I know why girls like life at the l()rmitory! Bingo acquainted me witli a few of tlie customs, which account for the fun that goes on there. I learned that girls who ])lan to be gone after 6 o ' clock in the evening must alwaj ' s sign out at the desk. That smiling person who rings the buzzer is a desk girl. She answers phones (.just try getting that line at noon or any time in the evening after dinner!), buzzes tiiose who are wanted, and more or less attempts to control gi ' U- eral behavior in the hall. Tliere are live others in tier capacity. Girls who don ' t sign out can always iind plenty of amusement. Every evening after dinner they roll up the rugs and dance. Others form congregations in various rooms. Food sent by considerate mothers is always welcome at tiiese gatherings, and greatly accelerates the popularity of the person to whom the food was sent. The dinner hour is leisurely and restful, in contrast to the mad dash for trays at lunch time. Yes, dorm lift- is wonderful! one girl told us. II is something winch I will treasure for years. I ' ve made friends ril never forget. [28]

¥[ v - wu4 ■j« « ■■ President Lamkin ' s home. From the (loriiiitorv, liiiigo pointed out an cxct ' lknt view of the President ' s brick home, located on lovely sjiacious grounds, where many social afll ' airs arc held throughout the year for both students and faculty. A sliorl (Hsfance from RcsicU ' nce Hall is the Home Maiiagenuiit house. We took a closer inspection. In tliis inunaculate lioiise, wiiicli is (tliiieiilly managed by Miss June Cozine of tiie iiome economics de])arlment, six girls live for an entire ([uarler and ])ractice wliat they learn in the classroom. These honu ' economics majors taki ' turns cooking, manipulating the budget, planning the menus and keei)ing the house clean, so that each girl has a well-rounded experience ' at the end of the quarter. We foiuul Miss Cozine and four of the gii ' ls enjoying a few k ' isure moments in their comfortable reading room. Ap- parently the dishes were done. Much has been added in furnishings since the house was established three years ago, and now it seems so much like home that the girls hate to leave hen their required training is completed. They take pride in the appearance of the house, as unexpected callers will note. It ' s home-like at the Home Management house. [28]
