Still farther down the hall he would run into his old friend Dorothy Sor , who is this year rooming with Billie Cole. Dorothy is much more willing to meet Benjie ' s ghost than last year. The big freshman room is this year holding Mary Fekete, Helen Drees, Elaine Brown, and Elsie Ruth Young, who are looking forward to his visit. It is now dawn and Benjie must make his way homeward, but he is keeping in mind the busy and eventful lives of the girls at 1228. [29]

BENJAMIN HARRISON DORM NEWS It is a dark, stormy night. Benjie Harrison is taking his usual midnight walk in the halls of his former home. Now it happens that the home is now occupied by 1 8 girls and their housemother, Mrs. Woodie. We of the Harrison HomiC don ' t think much about Benjie — we are too absorbed in our work — but at times we do feel his presence ver strongly. If Benjie should walk into the basement room of his home in which live Maxine Jack, Collene Phillips, and Marilyn Fisher, he would probably find furniture in the middle of the floor, clothes in a bunch on the bed, and the rug in a heap, for these girls, like all women, are fond of rearranging their rooms. As he ambulates up the stairs he would no doubt smell bacon frying, for Mrs. Woodie is probably preparing breakfast in her sleep for 18 hungry girls. Going still farther up the stairs he would spy one dozen roses on Alice Jean Fisher ' s dresser. (Wonder who sends them?) Peg Warner ' s faithful fiddle would be lying out waiting for her magic hands to pick it up. Going into the room next door, he would find Muriel Oeth studying her Fugue ( fudge she calls it) and newcomer Helen Utley dubbed Ut by her classmates. Coming down the hall he would hear the melodious strains of a ' cello from Mary Alice Dilling ' s room, but her roommate, Martha Shannon is probably visiting Muriel per usual. Benjie would certainly make it a point to visit the room of Dorothy Steinert, Rowena Lackey and Edythe Mae Brizius for the peels of laughter given forth there are inviting to anyone. [28]
