TOPSEY TURVEY OFFICERS Head of House SHIRLEY STOTZ Assistant Head of House PATRICIA SIMPLER Secretary DEE DOBSON Treasurer JUDY McDOWELL For a small dorm, Topsy was the center of a great deal of activity this year. Its residents, nearly all sophomores, were kept busy with a round of noisy gab sessions, house meetings topped off with subs, Sunday morning dorm breakfasts, and a certain sadistic pleasure derived from teasing their freshman from Syossct. At Christmas the Topsy-ites augmented the usual spirit with a gay dorm party and caroling. And who can ever forget the fun of that spaghetti dinner at Carol ' s or the hayride? When the time came for intramural sports, Topsy w-as right there, participating in basketball, in cooperation with Tur ' ey, and volleyball. Women ' s Weekend, in the spring, more than lived up to everyone ' s expectations. And that was Topsy — 1955! OFFICERS He ad of House JACQUELINE GIFOL Secretary ROSALIE SCHLATTER Treasurer KARIN VENETIAN How has Turvey kept from coming apart at the seams? So much went on within its walls this year: the Turvey- ites planning the very successful hayride in the fall and the Women ' s Weekend festivities; lots of wonderful parties — one at Hallowe ' en, a terrific one just before Christmas, with presents exchanged and plenty to eat: and, throughout the year, ever ' one s birthday celebrations. Will Turvey ever forget the rather damp water fights, or the stellar performance given to some Friday night studiers, presentmg the Bloommg Belles of Turvey? It is hoped by this year ' s girls that next year ' s occupants will forgive them for any leftover odors of subs, popcorn, donuts, and cider, and will have as great a time as they did.

OFFICERS Head of House SUE PERKINS Assistan: Head of House JO ANN BANKERT Secretar JOAN U ' OLLENWEBER Treasurer FAV BOUSUM On one misty September morning, 1954, many freshman girls moved into their new home, Smyth Hall, and promptly donned dinks and 9 by 12 signs. Those who carried paraphernalia up to the third and fourth floors were grouped in Unit C. These girls joined forces with the other units to create clever decorations, and to give the Blue Hens rousing support during football season. In Decem- ber, they proudly entertained their parents at tea. Collaborating with Unit B, they produced an original and successful musical for Playbill. Among the big events of a fabulous Women ' s ' Weekend was a Coketail Party held before the Friday night dance. As finals ended in May, their freshman days now a memory, the girls began to anticipate eagerly an equally exciting year as sophomores.

' RA BLAKE Treasurer MARY LOU MAURO Boletus was one of those dorms whose residents were moved at mid-term, but the memones created there are permanent. Who can ever forget those gab sssions lasting into the wee hours, that constantly-jangling phone, or the fraternity serenades? Remember how everyone pitched in to help Topsy and Turvey decorate the dorms on Fri- day afternoons? Boletus exhibited its sportswomnnship, too, participating in volleyball for W. A. A. Intramurals. And the dorm was well-represented in the Homecoming Queen competition, with two candidates for that honor. When moving day arrived, everyone was glad their whole group would be together in Warner, though they were sorr ' to leave Boletus, the little dorm with the great big memories, friendships, and good times. OFFICERS Head of House CONSTANCE ELLIS Assistant Head of House JOYCE ADAMS Secretary-Treasurer VIRGINIA BOWEN During the past year Johnston House has been the scene of a host of varied activities. At Christmas the residents of this gracious dormitorj ' contributed toys to charity and entertained faculty members with a tea. Dorm football decorations, W. A. A. sports, plans for the May Day Dance, the Campus Chest project, and an un- successful attempt to make off with that Confederate flag, kept Johnston ' s energetic residents busy. In addi- tion, there were more social events: a Homecoming Tea, an entertainment for parents, Sunday breakfasts, and Sun- day afternoon teas. With the approach of Women ' s Weekend, everyone pitched in to create a real social success. So another year rolled by — with lots of excitement in a terrific dorm ! Our Hundred Seventy-five
