¥[ 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]

We went from the bridge baek to tlu ' long walk. Hundreds of students every year promenade up and down this walk from September to August. I admired the trees and shridis that border tlu- walk, making an impressive long-range view from either end. N ' e stopped to look at the five slim new birch trees which Bingo said were set out early this year in the exact places of tlie ones that died. The birdies had been a landmark on the grounds long before the The rustic bridge. College was built. These beautiful trees were painted by students of art clas.ses; they were written about in poetry and prose by members of the Writers Club and the stati ' of the College paper; they were beloved of faculty, students and alumni.
